@ddvddv Listed as fixed in Opera 110 Developer, so just a matter of time.

@mcfoster said in Opera 108.0.5067.24 stable update:

@leocg Linux Mint 21.3 and Pop!OS 22.04. (Current stable releases, both up to date) using Opera 108.0.5067.24.

Goto the URL opera:///about and take note of the "install" path. Then, close Opera.

Then, download "0.85.0-linux-x64.zip" from https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/releases/tag/nwjs-ffmpeg-0.85.0 and extract libffmpeg.so from the zip file.

Then, in Opera's install folder, create a folder named lib_extra if it's not already there. If it is there, delete all files in it so the folder is empty.

Then, put the libffmpeg.so you got from the zip file in the lib_extra folder.

(Do not mess with the libffmpeg.so in the root of the install folder that Opera comes with.)

Then, start Opera, goto https://html5test.opensuse.org/ and make sure it says yes for aac and h.264 support (in addition to VP8, VP9, opus and vorbis support). Also, make sure it says yes for "DRM Support" and "Media Source Extensions".

Then, goto https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm and make sure the video plays with audio and that it says MSE and EME are supported below the video. Make sure EME has "Widevine" checked and make sure MSE has video/mp4 checked (in addition to video/webm).

More info here.

@ddvddv Not necessarily, it can always be backported.

Until this latest update, I still felt lagging when playing 60fps videos on Youtube when the hardware acceleration was turned OFF. but what's strange is that when I play the video in pop up mode, the video feels normal and doesn't lag/stuttering
