The Videos Don't Play Topic

@PixCatholica, I did some research and replaced libffmpeg.so with the one I downloaded from https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/amd64/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/download
Download the package, find libffmpeg.so in it and extract it.
Open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (this path may vary) click with right mouse button on "opera" folder and "Open as Root". Replace the libffmpeg.so with the new file.
Now you can play videos. -

I've been happily running Lubuntu on several machines - installed Opera and ran it just fine on those - including YouTube videos.
Hubby installed a fresh copy of Xubuntu on a laptop plus Opera and nope, it will not play YouTube videos.
"Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available."
I've added the YouTube Flash & HTML5 extension and restarted the machine, but it still won't work. I even turned off the VPN and made sure YouTube thinks I'm where I am... But still the same error.
Hubby doesn't like Opera, so won't put any effort into fixing my problem. Can anyone help?

@jeremias333 - I'm glad I'm not the only one, but I had hoped someone would give me some ideas...
Hubby finally looked at it - and although regular videos work, livestreams won't at all. So, I have to use Chrome for those.

For new YouTube videos... I get this message many times:
Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.
I have to take the link and replug it into a different browser to see these videos...
This happened on Opera for Linux.... on various ubuntus 18.04 and 20, and in PopOs 18.04 and now... version 20.04 LTS // Opera is up to date: version 68.0.3618.165

When I log into netflix and get Error O7355, I run this script. I have Chromium installed as a snap on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
#!/bin/bash
DATE=
date --iso-8601
cp /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so.chromium.$DATE
if [ ! -f "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so.opera.$DATE" ]; then
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so.opera.$DATE
fi
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so.chromium.$DATE /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.soI have had to do this every single time opera updates.

I keep getting this notice from YouTube.
This needs to be fixed on Opera's end. We cannot do anything. NO add-on nor extension works.

I'm running Opera 71.0.3770.271 on elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera (Ubuntu-based distro) and I can't play videos from any website except Youtube (live videos don't work even on YT).

@truden I installed the FFMPEG snap
Now:
-
if I use the original libffmpeg.so, I get the same error as klcjr77's.
-
if I follow your instructions, it keeps crashing as I said here.

@ilbert sorry, I'm in a wrong topic and my last answer wouldn't work for you. Unless the app installs the libffmpeg.so globally, but now I see your answer before posting this and obviously it doesn't work. Sorry. Keep digging the forums

@ilbert I see now that Hera is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but the file I listed above is for Ubuntu 16
So, try downloading the file from here - https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/amd64/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/download and do the same thing.
Let me know how did it work.
