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. -

l33t4opera last edited by l33t4operaHi @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.

@l33t4opera: this is not helpful.
I'm getting message that I have newer ffmpeg package,
Repository is not working
And I don't have nothing on that location so I couldn't to do linking.All other browsers have normal video playback.
Only problem is with Opera .deb installed versions
Snap versions have problem with slow first opening on system reboot... -

Did anyone have the post-Hibernation privilege bug? I think it's something M$ changed in Win 10 but it made Opera crash and lose its tabs every time. "Cannot access userprofile, insufficient privileges" or something like that.
I haven't tested 4195. I had to go back to 4175 to fix the problem.
For what it's worth, I run as admin.

Nope not fixed. Just wiped tabs and history.
Tabs have always been fragile. Can Opera not be a bit more robust in this regard? Obviously, we don't expect current tabs to be saved but it shouldn't be hard to go to the last set.
Think it might have been Suspend, not Hibernation.

Hi @predrag83yu, have you downloaded and installed the exact package from the link? if so, you should find the lib on this path: /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so.
Also, by "installed" I mean manually using dpkg -i pkg-name.deb.You can try also to link the FFMPEG lib provided by the snap package, some folks confirm that it works also with Opera installed from the .DEB.
What do you mean by the repo is not working?
The other browsers that replay videos (most probably encoded with H.264 codec - the ones not working in your case) have a license to use it or implemented own solution internally.

@andrew84 What does Opera's built-in task manager show between 78 and 81? Interested in the GPU utilization difference.
For
opera://gpu, anything differences between the 2 Opera versions? Also, anything difference about the h.264 resolutions listed under the Video Acceleration section?Wonder if it's something specific to Win8.1 and Opera (or the difference versions of Chromium the 2 Operas use).

@burnout426 Hi, thx for the attention.
O78 vs O81 (I have CPU load over 100 in Opera's task manager)
And some differences in Opera://gpu

This is very odd. -

@andrew84 I don't see the problem on Win 10. But, with my Intel 2520m and GPU, I only see the legacy video decoder in opera://gpu.
You might be experiencing something like https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/XT6CN3HQKco/m/1HY8tYB4AgAJ?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer&pli=1 but for Windows where the non-legacy video decoder is failing and falling back to software. According to that thread there's evidence for that in
opera://media-internals. -

@burnout426 If I disable the extension, then performance is better. So the performance for vp8/vp9 looks like previously.
In O79 and later the extension makes things worse (in O78 and earlier is the opposite - extension helps).
And as I mentioned earlier, I don't have the issue on my laptop (i3 3110m).
Both Desktop and Laptop are on Win8.1 (Pro version on desktop) and use Intel's integrated video. I didn't any graphics drivers updates or something, I just updated Opera and noticed that it's impossible to watch video and rolled back to O78 on the same day.Edit: I also checked Portable version and result is the same
