Have Opera One(version: 124.0.5705.42) and Opera is up to date.
After Opera update many videos no longer play. What needs to be done to correct this? YouTube videos are now hit and miss. Some play others don't.

@cybrsaylr You must check for libffmeg.so. I noticed the same behavior on Linux Mint. Update finished with error, but Opera updated to a new version, and videos stopped playing. The reason was in the installation path of Opera. It has been changed from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera to /....../opera-stable. That's way libffmpeg.so file stayed in old location. I moved it to a new setup path and the problem gone.

pindos, get this when trying the libffmeg.so link:
This site can’t be reached
Check if there is a typo in libffmpeg.so.

Try:
Changing DNS over HTTPS settings
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Check your DNS over HTTPS settings
Go to Opera > Preferences… > System > Use DNS-over-HTTPS instead of the system’s DNS settings and check your DNS-over-HTTPS provider.

@cybrsaylr This is not a internet URL. Libffmeg.so is a library (DLL) that works like encoder. You can find a lot information about it in some threads of this topic concerning video problems. You need to download it and put it in your system.

Ran 'sudo snap revert opera' and am now running Opera One(version: 123.0.5669.47) again and Opera runs fine.

Running Opera One(version: 123.0.5669.47) again and Opera runs fine today. But Opera wants to update when you close then reopen Opera. How can you stop this from happening?
Afraid Opera will update to buggy Opera One(version: 124.0.5705.42) again.

@cybrsaylr There is a new version 124.0.5705.65. As it was said in another topic this version fixed previous bugs.
