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

this working for me (Linux Mint):1
install CHROMIUM2
open terminal and type in:sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/
and
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/chromium/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so
3
(re)start operaopera uses chromium's libffmpeg..so
maybe it is necessary to adjust the path(google translation)

thanks @zarathustra-f90 this worked for me. as at 30/12/2021, my version is 104707, hence i had something like this current/chromium-ffmpeg-98516 .
NB: please close your Opera Browser after following the steps and reopen it.
Super happy that Youtube and Linkedin Videos can now play so well. -

@vladimir-bardakov After this advice I had to remove opera because it simply stopped working.

@dark-2011111 I know that there are some solutions but i will keep switching to other browsers until an official solution comes along.

@exoplanet As said, it's a legal issue and (probably) will be around there while proprietary codecs that requires a license exist and are being used by websites.

I solved the problem by uninstalling my old install of opera and installing it again via snap (https://snapcraft.io/opera).
I hope it helps you!snap install opera

@nathaniel I tried snap version but it has its unique problems. This was 2 years ago or more.

Looks like, on Ubuntu 20.04 the fix is as simple as installing the latest version of chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/ for Chromium your Opera version is based on. I just installed chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_97.0.4692.71-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb and video playback in Opera 83 works again. No need to symlink libraries.

Installed Ubuntu 20.04 and had the same problems with videos not playing well with the latest version of Opera. Did what you recommended, uninstalled Opera installed Opera again with snap and this solved all my video issues.
Thanks.

@exoplanet Did you download a proper package to install?
There's one thing to note, the package is for Ubuntu 18.04, so if you're running a newer version, e.g. 20.04 as myself, you'll see an update to the older version of this packagechromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
(85.xx in my case) intended for current OS version. To prevent downgrading the package you need to runapt-mark hold chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
to keep it at version 97. -
