      @swk058 said in opera for linux cannot play h264 videos:

      @nomtigel My most addons came from chromium ext. Plz goto Linux (.org) for best Q&A
      I have also a debian version: NP's Opera blockers or codecs. Download K-Lite Full

      Hello,
      thanks for pointing me (and us) at this. But I have to ask:

      • "NP's Opera blockers or codecs" vs. "Download K-Lite Full: are those two different things mentioned?
      • K-Lite-Full appears to be a Windows.EXE only archive, nothing for linux?

      Thanks.

        The newest version (111?) of opera stable requires a newer version of libffmpeg.so (corresponding to chromium 125), a version which I cannot find - I've looked all the usual places. So be careful about updating

          @sorenfeodor yes, a new version and a new video problem for opera, such that no other browser has.

              But in future, it would be a good idea not to update to a new major version immediately after release.

                @styen Thank you for your answer.

                I installed this script before, and it runs every time Opera is updated. Why is this problem not solved when it runs? When I reinstalled it, the issue was solved.

                  Open http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=wilma#upstream search (Crtl+L) chromium and download the *.deb package amd64.[1]

                  Unpack this and copy the libffmpeg.so from unpack folder /chromium/usr/lib/chromium/ to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so

                  Restart Opera.
                  [1] or http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstream/c/chromium/ and download the lasted wilma_amd64.deb Chromium version.

                  Tested on Debian/unstable
                  Opera version: 111.0.5168.25
                  Chromium version: 125.0.6422.143

                      there was no need to reinstall it, running "fix-opera" command manually after few hours is enough

                              @sorenfeodor A version for chromium 125 can be found on https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/releases I haven't tested it yet. I expect that also means that Hagen's script will work.
