Hi, everyone!
I've downloaded Opera version:69.0.3686.49 on my Linux Mint 20 Ulyana, and Twitter videos don't play.I've found some tuts to fix it, but nothing was solved. For example, ffmpeg.so is already installed and it's the newest version.
How could I solve this? -

Yes, @leocg !
I'm trying to install several packages, but it does not work yet.-
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
-
ubuntu-restricted-extras
-
mint-meta-codecs
I think I'm gonna change this OS. This is not the only problem I'm facing on it.
===== Edit:
By the way, I can't watch some videos on Youtube too. But not all ones. -

I was having a similar issue on Ubuntu 20. Everytime Opera updates, I have to manually reapply this fix

Hi @flavioliver, download and install Opera's .deb package - the latest is here - instead of its Snap version (uninstall it first).
Then you install the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package with proper version of the lib, which match the version of Chromium (or can be a bit lower or higher) in your current Opera.
You can install for example this one from Chromium Beta branch repository by Saikrishna Arcot.
After that, if it's working for you, you can add that mentioned repository, to have the lib updated automatically in the future. -

@minivan Not a problem
;-)
One more thing: in case the lib version will be sometimes to higher in the future (might not work) for the Opera, you can roll back to the previous version of the lib from the repository and keep it on hold, until the Opera's Chromium version will be updated.
