        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

                  You Tube H.264 MSE 60 FPS

                    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/ffmpeg
                        
                        

                        See http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-ffmpeg-2-4-2-on-ubuntu-14-04-linux-mint-17-elementary-os-0-3-deepin-2014-and-other-ubuntu-14-04-derivatives/

                        Does not pla some MP4 videos correctly (sound speed to slow!).
