@acadianman Google Chrome never added a feature to disable the f... totally stupid and useless "Black Circle X Button in Fullscreen Mode" Programmers don't care about the people, welcome to the real world ... so my priority goes to Firefox which fixed this, but there are other problems with it

Hello, I'm new here.
All these years I used to surf with the chrome browser and now I said to myself that I need to make a change to my life. So, I decided to change browser. I made some tests (JetStream, Octane, Kraken, WebXPRT 2015, HTML5 Test) and I realized that Opera is good enough (at some tests Chrome was first and some others Opera). Of course, you, guys, can do better. So, I use Opera from the last week untill now. To tell you the truth, in general, I'm okay with it, I don't have a problem. In fact, there are many that chrome didn't have and I liked it. But yesterday and today, I faced the following problems:

1. Why is there this problem on youtube? This is a live video. There is no problem in Chrome
   
2. Why is there this problem on twitter? It plays perfect at chrome.
   
3. And, finally, why is there this problem at the following popular site? I clicked to a video in order to watch it for my PhD paper and the "Play" icon + the other two look weird and I cannot play the video. When I click to the play button, the following black screen is showed up and I still cannot play the video.
   
   

I use MX Linux

Sorry for my bad English. This is not my native language.

Hello everyone,

My Specs: I use Deepin Linux 20 (community/64 Bit) and just installed the Opera browser trough their store. The version is 66.0.3515.27. No addons or extensions.

The Problem: The problem is I cannot watch media on Netflix, Disney+ or Spotify. It will give me errorcodes like 07355 (Netflix) or it doesn't load (Disney and Spotify). Youtube works ok, but some videos won't play because my browser ,,wouldn't support HTML-5".
I can log in on every site and scroll trough their videos, series etc. I can search but if turn on an video it will give the problems.

Is there a way to bring it to work?

Thank you for reading.

@acadianman et al
Just started to experience similar issues here - Opera 73.0.3856.284
Operating System: Linux Mint 20
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-58-generic
Architecture: x86-64

I've pretty much exhausted everything I could find on the web. Nothing has cured it.

@Frizzledoldbutt The directions at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_libffmpeg_config were gathered/tested on Linux Mint FWIW.

Whenever a new opera version is availabe I do a fast check on a dutch website npo.nl, to see whether live streaming and watching old programs work. On Ubuntu 18.04 all works fine in combination with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra.
Ubuntu 18.04 :
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_87.0.4280.66-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb
opera-stable_73.0.3856.344_amd64.deb
Ubuntu 20.04 :
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_1%3a85.0.4183.83-0ubuntu0.20.04.2_amd64.deb
opera-stable_73.0.3856.344_amd64.deb (same version)
On Ubuntu 20.04 the DRM protected video content refuses to stream and or play.

Any tips how to get the newest opera to work properly on the most recent LTS edition of Ubuntu ?

@truden said in 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.

Thanks, this works for me, Opera 75 on Debian 10.

Lol, I even reported a bug to Opera team before this.
