      When I try to play a video from Google Photos in Opera it gives "Invalid Parameters", and it is trying to use flash player. Works ok in Chrome and Firefox (prob using HTML5). Flash player seems to work on other sites in Opera though (e.g Dailymotion)

      OS is Linux Mint Rosa 17.3
      Opera:44.0.2510.857
      Flash player: 24,0,0,221

      Does Opera not use HTML5 by default?

          Thanks huwanhsin. I had 64 bit Linux so hopefully it will fix that too! 🙂

            Hi @thehoggle, you can also try and make sure that the package chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is installed and up-to-date.

              @thehoggle Hi there! I'd give the suggestion by @gianlucac a try, it fixed the problem for me. I ran the following commands in Terminal:

              sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
              sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/
              sudo ln -s /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ope
              

              I hope it helps! I am running Linux Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (x86_64; Unity). Cheers!

                @thehoggle @jayaguru-shishya Can you try also without creating the symlink? It should just work.
