Once again streaming flash is no longer working properly after latest update.
Youtube works fine, but streaming no longer working. Here are a few examples:

Previously had it working by using:
mkdir /usr/lib/PepperFlash
cp libpepflashplayer.so /usr/lib/PepperFlash/

...but now, nothing...
Works fine with Firefox - getting frustrated with this seemingly ongoing problem with Opera.
Any help is much appreciated.

It's the same old story. At each release Opera is proud of speeding things up for 1% but video/audio is a persistent problem. I think that time has come to dump Opera after so many years. I really get fed up with this eternal audio/video problem. I know Opera is not supporting these codecs out of the box, but I have no idea why it's fscking up my config at each upgrade.

When replacing opera's libffmpeg.so by the chromium one I get this:

/usr/bin/opera: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/opera: undefined symbol: avcodec_parameters_to_context

Thank you.

After following the discussion here:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/19182/opera-browser-does-not-play-twitter-videos-and-gifs-again/17
...and trying the suggestions, still not working.

Had to go here:
https://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/
...and install previous stable version, which works just fine.

Opera is my preferred browser, but these ongoing issues with video/streaming/flash is just getting out of hand...

You may do what https://gist.github.com/ruario/215c365facfe8d3c5071 said to see if it works.
