      Hello,
      Twitch videos dont work with my Opera saying "No supported video backend available; Flash is not installed".
      And its true, I dont have flash installed.
      Twitch should work with html5 though and it does so in Firefox.
      What seems weired is that in Opera I can see the Twitch-Chat (which sould be html5, no?) but not in Firefox.
      Any idea what I could try (except installing Flash)?

      I tried to google a solution but could find anything the worked.
      Youtube for example works fine.

      Im running Manjaro Linux (x86_64; GNOME) and Opera 43.0.2442.1144

        Just a small correction, Chat works in Firefox after all.

          Welcome to Opera forums @Lumenie!

          Check if this solution solves your problem, and read the last Hibou57 post in the thread too.

          There are more post about "Flash not working in *nix" if this solution doesn't work for your distro, use the forums search.

            Thank you for the welcome.
            My post is not about "Flash not working". I dont have Flash installed and I dont want to either,

            Its about videos/streams that work without Flash in other browsers (in my example Firefox) but not in Opera.

            edit:
            It might be something about h.264 since on the HTML5-Test-Site in Opera that codec is not working but in Firefox it is.
            I do however have "libx264" installed.
            I found one suggestion to install "opera-ffmpeg-codecs".
            Before I do that, is there a way to make Opera use the codec from "libx264"?

              Oh! :doh:, sorry

              Don't know about your question, but maybe the first thread works, or it's what you've already found.
