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.

@RungeKutta Nice, but the errormssg was clear: info doesn't go thru the GPU and bus: vidcard. Don't use Ubuntu client from last 10 yr. I quit ubuntu and use now Kali when more then 10 ppl specialist in Ubuntu say really don't use Ubuntu client. Mabey server verion: is bit ok. Kali is last few yrs the very best linux

If you use UbO, its a setting to block big media, etc. then check "My rules" in config UbO
