        @annevance Indeed I have more video playbacks, but the live tv broadcasts which I watch with the VPN of that country still don't work on Opera, giving a DRM error.
        When this is not solved the browser is useless, unfortunately.

            @xZero Sorry, I did, but still no go.
            I can find the original ffmpeg.so in the opera directory.
            I also have your ffmpeg.so . Even when I login as admin, or sudo in terminal, the directory is "read only" and I cannot move the file.
            I tried to use opera every few years, but always the same. Nice layout, clean but not suitable for drm broadcast.

                  @annevance For DRM you need:
                  libwidevinecdm.so 8.9 MB in
                  /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_x64/

                      @PixCatholica It's insane that you posted this in July and there are still issues with this. I can't watch animated gifs. Does Opera even look at these forums? Do they even pay attention to the bug reports?

                        @clatsopduck I'm having the same issue. Animated gifs from Imgur aren't working either.

                            @acadianman Google Chrome never added a feature to disable the f... totally stupid and useless "Black Circle X Button in Fullscreen Mode" Programmers don't care about the people, welcome to the real world ... so my priority goes to Firefox which fixed this, but there are other problems with it

                                      Hello, I'm new here.
                                      All these years I used to surf with the chrome browser and now I said to myself that I need to make a change to my life. So, I decided to change browser. I made some tests (JetStream, Octane, Kraken, WebXPRT 2015, HTML5 Test) and I realized that Opera is good enough (at some tests Chrome was first and some others Opera). Of course, you, guys, can do better. So, I use Opera from the last week untill now. To tell you the truth, in general, I'm okay with it, I don't have a problem. In fact, there are many that chrome didn't have and I liked it. But yesterday and today, I faced the following problems:

                                      1. Why is there this problem on youtube? This is a live video. There is no problem in Chrome
                                        alt text
                                      2. Why is there this problem on twitter? It plays perfect at chrome.
                                        alt text
                                      3. And, finally, why is there this problem at the following popular site? I clicked to a video in order to watch it for my PhD paper and the "Play" icon + the other two look weird and I cannot play the video. When I click to the play button, the following black screen is showed up and I still cannot play the video.
                                        alt text
                                        alt text

                                      I use MX Linux

                                      Sorry for my bad English. This is not my native language.
