<![CDATA[Linux Opera Developer H.264 problems]]>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

Easy way to get H.264 working for me was:

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera

sudo cp -r lib lib_extra

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.

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).

See http://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2015/11/first-34-beta-release/#comment-2351570242

Couldn't Opera include that library in it's deb repository?

I guess they can't.

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.
