      @bombacha in mine case the plugins are cousing Opera to crash I got similair screen to that https://forums.opera.com/topic/25021/opera-51-0-settings-page-crashed
      I use Opera 64 bit version 56.0.3051.104. on Debian Stretch. I'v tried 4 different revisions of libffmpeg.so. I eaven tried the 32 bit, the Problem is always there.

        What versions of libffmpeg did you try and where did you get them from? 32bit libs do not work on 64 bit apps in general btw, not only on opera.

        Also, the crash of the built in preferences page has nothing to do with libffmpeg.

          I'v tried 0.33.(1,2,3,4) and 0.34.0 libffmpg that I'v got from here: https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/
          (the screen was for reference only). Youtube crashes whenever I copy libffmpeg to Opera directory. If the ffmpeg is deleted videos are not working but the site does not crush.

            How can you tell that those libffmpeg... libs for nodejs are built from the same chromium source opera is built on?
            You can't know. And that is exactly what I say on the bottom of my post on my signature

            Expert's advice on the above
            From time to time, someone will post a "solution" to the libffmpeg problem. This will either be "install this ubuntu's chromium ffmpeg codecs package by hand to get the... precious html5 support" or "get that tar,gz from herecura's repo, untar it and move libffmpeg to the right place to make it work".
            Both are wrong because they refer to packages built for a different distro (ubuntu in the first case, arch in the second), and definitely built with a different set of libraries and compilers. Do not do that unless you want to break your system or browser.

            The only difference is that you get the libffmpeg built for nodejs, which is also completely irrelevant to the ones mentioned above.

              Looks like there is a problem with his lib after version 0.32, download and install 0.31.5 and stay with it, you don't need to update it unless something stop working or there are some security related issues.

                      This was solution for opera V 68.0.3618.165 in Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.
                      But i copied libffmpeg.so from /usr/lib/chromium-brower and works fine

                      Thanks

                        @cruz-jesus now if I could only figure out how to make a script to copy that with a couple clicks. I have a lot of customers and having them noodle around the file system to find that file would end in disaster.

                          Works for Gentoo, but should be rather easy to extend to other Distros (i.e. add other pathes to search for that file) and maybe even other versions of opera (i.e. add other md5sums of old libffmpeg.so files).

                          This script backs up the old libffmpeg.so file, but there is no automatic way to revert it, so if something goes wrong, you have to clean up yourself. The script tries to do things only if it's sure, it's save to do so.
