pop-out video is a lit bit transparent

@kened So video is semi transparent while watching?
What's the point of this feature?

Video playback problem is still present on Linux. I use Elementary OS 6.
IMDb is displaying error. I don't have video playback problem on snap versions of Opera, but loading/opening snap version of Opera is so slow in comparison of deb installed version.

@andrew84: I also don't understand what the purpose of this feature is.

@kened Yes, I'm usually watching a video picture and not 1/2 video + 1/2 some background .

@andrew84 It doesn't seem to be happening here, even with the setting enabled.

@leocg here too, I just checked kened's screenshot in the previous thread. By the way, I don't see any setting or flag here regarding this feature.

@andrew84 Here, only the window becomes transparent if the setting is on, but not the video. So, when you hover the cursor on the video to see the buttons, you still can see the video through the transparency.

@andrew84 It's n the video pop-out section.

By the way, I was enabling the wrong one. Now I see the video becoming partially transparent.

I guess it's for you to watch the video while seeing something on the background.

@leocg You mean videoconferencing pop out or video pop out?
I mean video pop out, I have no setting for its transparency (but I have for the conferencing pop out).

@andrew84
If you go first to the flags and enable Automatic Video Popout (it's disabled by default), the option "Make popout transparent" is also enabled in the Settings. In other words, enabling the flag makes the Settings options for Videoconferencing and Video the same.

@pclaudel1 thx, works now.
*Weird feature. Fortunately, this is optional.

Hi @predrag83yu, since there's no proper FFMPEG version for Ubuntu Focal (20.04), that is based also on glibc 2.31 as your distro, so you can try to download the package for Ubuntu Bionic from Chromium Dev team - exactly this one and install it manually.

Alternatively, add the repo to your sources from this link and install the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package.

If it still doesn't work, open the Opera, go to opera:about, copy the installation path and close the browser.
Open your terminal, navigate to the path and add a new sub-folder "lib_extra", enter it and make a symbolic link to the lib as follows: ln -s /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so

Drag&drop visual bug for pinboards cards is still there (the whole page is being dragged)

Edit: and you should also add 'Pinboards' menu item(if pinboards feature is enabled in Settings) to the context menu on start page.
