Blame opera's poor html5 support for that and, if you are on a distro that packages chromium-codecs-ffmpeg, install them to get better html5 support.

same problem.. no solution other than run chrome when going to youtube. Tried installing the chromium codecs, installing some disable html5 extension, no help.
only working solution is to use any other browser to visit youtube.

Frustrating that this problem with Opera is still here. I use Opera because in every other sense it's a really good browser but this constantly not being able to play H264 videos is starting to really annoy me. Until this is finally addressed I'm going to stop using Opera...sigh (Linux Mint 18.2)

I suspect that everyone already has the "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra" package installed. The problem is likely to be a compatibility issue.

The solution (unfortunately) is to wait for the next update to the Opera browser.

Yes, it is.
Ubuntu 16.04:
Opera 47.0.2631.80 (based on Chromium 60.0.3112.90)
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra: 61.0.3163.79

The problem disappeared after replacing libffmpeg.so as described here:

I don't mean to necro-post, just update information for those like me who found this page from google.
Copying the libffmpeg.so from oxide-qt did not work!
What worked for me was installing chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra and copying libffmpeg.so from /usr/lib/chromium-browser/
