Can you summarize for me Opera 25 under Linux: With Flash and HTML5 videos?

Thanks avl.
Can you comment on the issue with VP9 on YouTube?
Opera 25.0.1597.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 does not play VP9-videos on YouTube, while Opera 25.0.1597.0 on Windows 7 (64-bit) does, as does Chrome on Ubuntu.
Opera on Ubuntu plays WebM with VP9, but not VP9 on YouTube. Can you confirm the issue?
Thanks.

Works for me:
That's a Youtube video on Ubuntu 14.04 and I did compiled ffmpeg as described above.

VP9 should not require any actions by the user to work. It’s a free codec.

After compiling and installing ffmpeg on my computer, are there any additional libraries that I need to change in order for Opera to be able to play html5 videos? Do I need to change libffmpegsumo.so? Or should that be enough?
Even though I installed ffmpeg (v. 2.4.1), Opera cannot play h.264 videos. Does this mean I should install an earlier version of ffmpeg, like v. 2.3?

@frankgoji: Yes the version is very important. It must be the same version as that which is bundled with Opera. Current Opera is using version 2.3 of ffmepg. I have expanded on AVL's comment above

One other nice thing about compiling your own FFmpeg. You can watch 60FPS videos in High Definition on YouTube

Hello,
Is Opera considering supporting libav also?
I'm just asking because in distributions like Ubuntu that have switch to libav, it wouldn't require users to install and compile ffmpeg.

For Ubuntu 14.10 this PPA repo:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:samrog131/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ffmpeg-real sudo ln -sf /opt/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpegDoes not pla some MP4 videos correctly (sound speed to slow!).
