      @g3nsvrv Hi, thanks for reply. I solved my problem with the following commands:

      wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/operao/files/libffmpeg.so
      sudo cp libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so


      Pardus 19.1 GNU/Linux (Turkish dist)
      Opera 64.0.3417.54

          @pinportal It worked pretty well on ArchLinux. It didn't have the direct x86_64-linux-gnu so run these commands.
          sudo mv libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/libffmpeg_h264.so
          sudo mv /usr/lib/opera/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/opera/libffmpeg.so.orig
          sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libffmpeg_h264.so /usr/lib/opera/libffmpeg.so
          Thank you very much

              Hey! Also I had this same problem, can't play fb video's and youtube live video's. But finally fixed it by installing opera with snap.

                  @quangpao Hello, I am pinportal, I lost my other account. Thank you for your thanks. Now I've discovered a much easier method for linux. Instead of downloading and installing the DEB package for Ubuntu, for example, you just install Opera from Snap. That is, open the terminal and type:

                  sudo snap install opera

                  It is necessary to uninstall the old package manually installed. Replace one with the other. In the case of installation via snap, video support works natively forever, even updating versions. It took me years to figure this out, but another user mentioned this a few weeks ago and so I figured it out.

                    If you are on any Arch Linux derivative distribution (eg Manjaro, BlackArch, Archcraft) you can choose to install the 'Opera' package from the official Arch Linux repositories using the commands 'sudo pacman -Syu opera' and 'sudo pacman -Syu opera-ffmpeg-codecs'. Of course you can also install it directly from your default package manager (in my case pamac.manager)

                        I've had good luck with the instructions at this link. Each Opera update maintains the proper codec with this script for me.
