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:- Why is there this problem on youtube? This is a live video. There is no problem in Chrome
- Why is there this problem on twitter? It plays perfect at chrome.
- 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.
I use MX Linux
Sorry for my bad English. This is not my native language.

Hello everyone,
My Specs: I use Deepin Linux 20 (community/64 Bit) and just installed the Opera browser trough their store. The version is 66.0.3515.27. No addons or extensions.
The Problem: The problem is I cannot watch media on Netflix, Disney+ or Spotify. It will give me errorcodes like 07355 (Netflix) or it doesn't load (Disney and Spotify). Youtube works ok, but some videos won't play because my browser ,,wouldn't support HTML-5".
I can log in on every site and scroll trough their videos, series etc. I can search but if turn on an video it will give the problems.Is there a way to bring it to work?
Thank you for reading.

@leocg a browser that doesn't play videos is not only a issue, but a major issue. No matter if it's legal, commercial or technical.
It's sad, I liked using Opera in my windows machine and it's a pity that you don't have a useful version on Linux.
I'm not watching videos all the time, but it's very frustrating need to open chrome for playing a video when it's needed.
I'm migrating back to chrome, and I'm sure that many people is doing the same. -

@alex1real to you and all folks here that keep complaining: Opera is a free web browser generously offered to the world by it's authors. You can't really expect, nor you should complain for missing functionality due to legal issues. Be grateful for what you got here, as it's far more than you "pay" for.

@xZero OK Mr Zero times by zero.
- "@xZero to you and all folks here that keep complaining about us unthankfull deplorables: We, the common users, all know well that the deficient Who-Know-What-Its-Name (aka Crap) is a free web browser generously offered to the world by it's authors. We can really expect nothing, nor we complain for limited functionality due to unknown issues. We are more grateful for what we got here, thanks to your Sauron's vigilant Eye attitude and corrective policy attitude.

Just started to experience similar issues here - Opera 73.0.3856.284
Operating System: Linux Mint 20
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-58-generic
Architecture: x86-64I've pretty much exhausted everything I could find on the web. Nothing has cured it.

@Frizzledoldbutt The directions at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_libffmpeg_config were gathered/tested on Linux Mint FWIW.
