@burnout426 this really solved my problem, I hope there won't be a problem abt it anymore. I can now open youtube live videos or videos in other sites that I couldn't open it before. Really Thanks

You saved my mind. New Opera One is a new piece of shit only. -

!!Warning!!
I tried this and it broke my installation, so be careful if you try it. Initially, it just broke YouTube, which I was using for testing, but when I tried restarting the browser it would no longer launch. Foolishly, I didn't back up the original libffmpeg.so file in the opera folder, so I had to reinstall the whole package. Always take backups, folks!

@devtiagofranca This method fixed the FFMPEG H264/MP4 codec link to the Snap version of Chromium (the only method from Ubuntu 24.04 forward) and the Deb install of Opera. Thank you!!
