I would see Twitter(X) videos trough my Opera from Flatpak and nothing works. I tried to watch videos on YouTube that was old from a bunch of years and they not work too. I tried to figure some answers but nothing could solve my issue. Opera is not alone with this issue, there so many browsers including Epiphany from Gnome having this issue. Could Opera can contact flatpak team and fix their stuff before people got rage? Should layoff Flatpak to Snap?
Does you have some clues how i could fix it? Im currently using Fedora on my computer from Linux. I would make forcing Flatpak apps using native codecs if they could.

@wolfshards I use it in snap on Ubuntu 22.04 and it works perfectly. I had the DEB installed, but I removed it precisely because the videos, you can not see them, because they are missing the h264 codecs. To always get out of doubt do before new version the html5test test, there will tell you if you have the h264 and you can see videos. I always do it, and the snap version always has them active.
