                                    I solved it for me in ubuntu (ex. Xubuntu) 22.04 and opera 87:

                                    I downloaded and installed vivaldi 5.3 from the internet website. (*.deb)

                                    then I renamed the (Opera) libffmpeg.so to libffmpeg.so-orig (or delete it) in
                                    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera

                                    then I copied the libffmpeg.so from Vavaldi to Opera
                                    from /opt/vivaldi/lib/ (I think it was there)
                                    to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera

                                    finaly I removed vivaldi
                                    sudo apt remove --purge vivaldi*

                                    That works for me.

                                      My own post obove dosnยดt work in my new opera after update.
                                      So i found this on gibhub:

                                      https://gist.github.com/Thomas-Ln/c4ae803e90f9984b6612c8983c8fde1f

                                      Open Opera Type in: opera://about (or vivaldi://about,)
                                      then Ctrl+F to find 'Chrome' in the user-agent, (It is in Browser-Identification)
                                      version number is Chrome/XXX.other_numbers .
                                      expl. Chrome/101 (2 or 3 signs).
                                      Then go to this Download-Site

                                      https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!AC7ddalBsUiWsUE&id=75D48EF8D3750510!234&cid=75D48EF8D3750510

                                      Go to your version of Chrome and Download the

                                      libffmpeg.so

                                      Copy it with root to Opera-Directory
                                      /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera (overwrite)
                                      (you can rename the origin libffmpeg.so before
                                      ex: libffmpeg.so-orig)

                                      This works for me now.

                                          The post by @jojocw on 3jun2022 worked for a PopOS 22.04 based Opera install. Oi vey that took a lot of wading through. Opera could surely streamline this without running afoul of licensing.
