So... Opera developer doesn't have H.264 video support.
Looking at http://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2015/10/opera-developer-34-0-2023-0-update/ it says that as long as chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra that it should be able to detect the codec, but it's not doing that.
System specs:
OS: Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit
Opera version: 34.0.2036.2
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra Version: 45.0.2454.101-0ubuntu1.1201 -

The same is happening with me in Opera Beta 34.
I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 and the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra version I have is 45.0.2454.101-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1183 (it's the latest one).
Couldn't Opera include that library in it's deb repository? So it would stay in sync with browser updates.

I guess they can't.

Just FYI for anyone looking on how to get H.264 working.
If on Ubuntu install the newest Chromium release(ie. https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev).
If on Fedora install package from:
stable: http://koji.russianfedora.pro/koji/packageinfo?packageID=156
beta: http://koji.russianfedora.pro/koji/packageinfo?packageID=157
developer: http://koji.russianfedora.pro/koji/packageinfo?packageID=158
Use --nodeps while installing them.

Even more interesting, I did a new Ubuntu installation and I had libffmpeg.so on hand so I thought that I should copy it for now to get H.264 working faster but it turns out opera does provide it, but in wrong folder...
Easy way to get H.264 working for me was:
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera
sudo cp -r lib lib_extra
