@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 Tutuapp 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.Thanks for your advice; I have the same problem with playing videos, but your solution works for me as well.

This worked for me on Opera 81.0.4196.60 on Linux Mint 20.2
Hopefully it will seamlessly update itself after each Opera update.

I had same issue. I changed just one flag:
opera://flags/#use-angle - from value "Default" to value "OpenGL".
And it helped me, now h.264 video playing correctly!

Opera v81.0.4196.60 stable. -

Hi
Since the latest update of Opera some websites crash again. Here's an example:
It seems like this fix is no longer working properly at the moment:

Hm...the update function in Opera Menu is not doing anything. So I tried with the terminal using
sudo apt --only-upgrade installso...
q4os@q4os-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo apt --only-upgrade install opera-stable Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done opera-stable is already the newest version (81.0.4196.60). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. q4os@q4os-desktop:~/Desktop$It looks as I have to be patiently until Q4OS sends the next Opera update? Or what can I do?

Also you may download it directly from opera.com

Well, I'll see what I do then. In any case, it would be advantageous if the developers of Opera would test the latest version to see whether it really works correctly before it is distributed all over the world! It's pretty sad when a user has a correctly functioning installation and after the update it no longer works correctly

On Linux Mint 20.2 and with the latest Opera upgrade, I got YT live streaming and Instagram videos playing properly with the following script:
https://github.com/nicolas-meilan/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg
I've tried it without Chrome installed, though the script recommends to have it installed. The scripts mentioned above resulted in Opera bricked/not even opening for me...

My script seems to brick the most recent versions of Opera. I am working on a resolution. Until then, a warning is added to the script.
If you ended up with your Opera bricked, you can restore the backup of the changed file:
cd /usr/lib/opera/ cp -v libffmpeg.so.bak libffmpeg.so -

3 days ago I updated Opera to 82.0.4227.23 and I've had no issues with the method suggested by Ld-Hagen at https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/

After a few days of patient waiting, version 82 finally arrived
And everything is working normally again! I still use the same solution as at the beginning. Here is a link to my website, which is unfortunately a bit slow (ifastnet!):By the way, in my traffic report from Wordfence I find every day some visitors from all over the world who call up the forum post . So there are even more patient people then just me
