      In the "software manager" of Mint now you can download flatpack package with the codecs integrated, no more struggle.

        @mr-matt-eastwood Thank you! This worked for me too. Of-course the path was a bit different for me. Specifically it was "/snap/chromium-ffmpeg/30/chromium-ffmpeg-108372/chromium-ffmpeg" and it had other options, but it worked!

                @leocg it's sad, but a browser that can't watch videos is just useless

                        I'm facing an issue while trying to stream videos from [MODERATION: removed links] on the Opera browser. Despite trying all above troubleshooting methods, I haven't been able to resolve the problem. I'm reaching out to the community for any suggestions or alternative solutions you might have.

                        Here's a summary of the steps I've taken so far:

                        Checked my internet connection: It's stable, as I can stream from other platforms without any issues.

                        Updated Opera: I'm using the latest version of the browser to ensure compatibility.

                        Cleared cache and cookies: Tried removing browsing data to address potential conflicts, but it didn't help.

                        Disabled extensions/plugins: Temporarily turned off all extensions and plugins, but the problem persisted.

                        Tried private browsing: Attempted to stream in incognito mode, but still encountered the same issue.

                        Updated Adobe Flash Player: Ensured Flash Player was up to date, but it didn't solve the problem.

                        Contacted Opera support: Reached out to them, but their response didn't offer a specific solution for GogoAnime streaming.

                        I'm feeling discouraged after trying these steps with no success. If anyone has experienced a similar issue or has any suggestions, please share your insights.

                        Thank you for your assistance!

                          @gogoanime6 Opera does not incluse proprietary video codecs.. Find the package chromium-codecs-extra or corresponding package for your system for Opera's version of Chromium and install it.

                            Can confirm this solved the issue for me.
                            I figured out how to use snap library, as @mr-matt-eastwood suggested.

                            On Manjaro Linux 20, opera directory is /usr/lib/opera.
                            You don't have to delete original libffmpeg.so file, but just rename it to whatever (including extension).

                            Steps:

                            # If you cannot use sudo -i, then just prefix your commands with sudo
                            sudo -i 
                            # Close your browser by hand. Following command will ensure no Opera processes are running in the background
                            killall opera
                            cd /usr/lib/opera
                            # Some software automatically loads any .so/.dll file that is present. Not sure for Opera, but just in case
                            mv libffmpeg.so libffmpeg.so_original
                            snap install chromium-ffmpeg
                            # Please note that chromium-ffmpeg-95241 path might differ. Just pickup one with highest number. 
                            ln -sf /snap/chromium-ffmpeg/current/chromium-ffmpeg-95241/chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so libffmpeg.so
                            

                            Works like charm.

                            This worked like charm. Only change I noticed is opera path: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera for version 100.0.4815.76

                                @marek-online Worked well with my Xubuntu 22,04 LTS here. I just created a backup of this original shitty ffmpeg and changed the second command to the corresponding folder in my computer:

                                sudo cp /snap/chromium-ffmpeg/34/chromium-ffmpeg-111306/chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-beta/libffmpeg.so
                                

                                Thank you all for the tips!

                                  cd /usr/lib/opera
                                  # Some software automatically loads any .so/.dll file that is present. Not sure for Opera, but just in case
                                  mv libffmpeg.so libffmpeg.so_original
                                  snap install chromium-ffmpeg
                                  # Please note that chromium-ffmpeg-95241 path might differ. Just pickup one with highest number. 
                                  ln -sf /snap/chromium-ffmpeg/current/chromium-ffmpeg-95241/chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so libffmpeg.so
                                  

                                  Works like charm.

                                  This works on Fedora (38 Workstation tested) as well, but paths are slightly different.
                                  chromium-ffmpeg snap: /var/lib/snapd/snap/chromium-ffmpeg/current/chromium-ffmpeg-111306/chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so
                                  Opera install dir: /usr/lib64/opera

                                  ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap/chromium-ffmpeg/current/chromium-ffmpeg-111306/chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so
                                  

                                  chromium-ffmpeg version might differ, so make sure to find the directory with the highest number by using:

                                  ls -al /var/lib/snapd/snap/chromium-ffmpeg/current/
                                  

                                  As always, make sure to backup original libffmpeg.so file, as I had experience where Opera would refuse to start with new file - probably incompatible version.

                                      This should not be up to the user to fix this.

                                      Even they release a complete new version and still dont fix with problem with find codecs path installed in the user machine !!!!!

                                        I uninstalled Opera.
                                        That was the best solution for me.

                                          But it is suprising that you still in their forum, if you are not using it anymore. LOL.
