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 ?
