Opera updated and video playback got bad again so I installed :
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_99.0.4844.84-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64
But no luck
My Opera Version : 86.0.4363.23

Same here with 86.0.4363.50. I don't get how this is an issue tbh, Can't watch any type of stream using this.

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/operathen 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/operafinaly 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-Sitehttps://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!AC7ddalBsUiWsUE&id=75D48EF8D3750510!234&cid=75D48EF8D3750510
Go to your version of Chrome and Download the
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.

Easy solution via Terminal (rooted) for Opera 88.0.4412.40:
$ sudo snap install chromium-ffmpeg
$ sudo cp /snap/chromium-ffmpeg/current/chromium-ffmpeg-107578/chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so
It's as easy as taken the last chromium-ffmpeg's library every-time you update Opera's versions, I mean, chromium-ffmpeg it's updated in parallel with Opera and vice versa.

@marcorboels Solution still works. Thank you.
My Opera version: 91.0.4516.16
Working codec: chromium-ffmpeg-108372
I'm on Linux Mint, so I had to enable snap first.
