          This fixed the h.264 video playback for me many versions ago.

          It also applies the fix with each Opera update for me (Ubuntu 20.04 based).

                Try it on clean opera installation. It's highly likely you've tried other fixes previously.

                    New version of Opera based on Chromium 100 which is incompatible with older libffmpeg.so. So if you applied old fix that replaced libffmpeg.so that comes with Opera, it will crash on every page containing video or sound.

                    The script above doesn't replace that lib, but adds new one to lib_extra folder.

                      Ok I willl describe my steps:

                      • sudo dpkg --purge opera-stable
                      • sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera

                      Find all Opera files

                      • find /home/valdinei/ -iname opera

                      Delete all files in my home

                      • rm -rf /home/valdinei/.config/opera
                      • rm -rf /home/valdinei/.cache/opera

                      After this I reinstalled a new opera version

                      • sudo dpkg -i opera-stable_86.0.4363.23_amd64.deb

                      My last version is not broken page, but all whatsApp videos display a message "error" do not play.

                      Youtube works fine,
                      Instagram show me a video but when a I click play not work.

                      Any idea to fix WhatsApp Videos and Instagram ?

                        @valdineidossantos follow steps from that page https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine
                        But note that script can't run automatically if you're installing Opera manually by dpkg. In such case you'll need to run script as described in step 3, or using alias "fix-opera" if you've made step 4.

                                  Thank you for your cooperation!
