      @l33t4opera: this is not helpful.
      I'm getting message that I have newer ffmpeg package,
      Repository is not working
      And I don't have nothing on that location so I couldn't to do linking.

      All other browsers have normal video playback.
      Only problem is with Opera .deb installed versions
      Snap versions have problem with slow first opening on system reboot...

        Did anyone have the post-Hibernation privilege bug? I think it's something M$ changed in Win 10 but it made Opera crash and lose its tabs every time. "Cannot access userprofile, insufficient privileges" or something like that.

        I haven't tested 4195. I had to go back to 4175 to fix the problem.

        For what it's worth, I run as admin.

          Nope not fixed. Just wiped tabs and history.

          https://prnt.sc/1uwxcml

          Tabs have always been fragile. Can Opera not be a bit more robust in this regard? Obviously, we don't expect current tabs to be saved but it shouldn't be hard to go to the last set.

          Think it might have been Suspend, not Hibernation.

            Hi @predrag83yu, have you downloaded and installed the exact package from the link? if so, you should find the lib on this path: /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so.
            Also, by "installed" I mean manually using dpkg -i pkg-name.deb.

            You can try also to link the FFMPEG lib provided by the snap package, some folks confirm that it works also with Opera installed from the .DEB.

            What do you mean by the repo is not working?

            The other browsers that replay videos (most probably encoded with H.264 codec - the ones not working in your case) have a license to use it or implemented own solution internally.

              @andrew84 What does Opera's built-in task manager show between 78 and 81? Interested in the GPU utilization difference.

              For opera://gpu, anything differences between the 2 Opera versions? Also, anything difference about the h.264 resolutions listed under the Video Acceleration section?

              Wonder if it's something specific to Win8.1 and Opera (or the difference versions of Chromium the 2 Operas use).

                @burnout426 Hi, thx for the attention.
                O78 vs O81 (I have CPU load over 100 in Opera's task manager)
                2021-10-06_104201.png

                And some differences in Opera://gpu

                  @nanana1: at first several days, tab close bug was not present, but just five minutes ago, it appear suddenly. now, the bug come back even if I reopen Opera.
                  This is very odd.

                      @venster Is it happening to you in Beta, Developer, or both? I see it still happening in Beta, but Developer has been free of this glitch since the update to 4196.

                          @andrew84 I don't see the problem on Win 10. But, with my Intel 2520m and GPU, I only see the legacy video decoder in opera://gpu.

                          You might be experiencing something like https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/XT6CN3HQKco/m/1HY8tYB4AgAJ?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer&pli=1 but for Windows where the non-legacy video decoder is failing and falling back to software. According to that thread there's evidence for that in opera://media-internals.

                            @burnout426 If I disable the extension, then performance is better. So the performance for vp8/vp9 looks like previously.
                            In O79 and later the extension makes things worse (in O78 and earlier is the opposite - extension helps).
                            And as I mentioned earlier, I don't have the issue on my laptop (i3 3110m).
                            Both Desktop and Laptop are on Win8.1 (Pro version on desktop) and use Intel's integrated video. I didn't any graphics drivers updates or something, I just updated Opera and noticed that it's impossible to watch video and rolled back to O78 on the same day.

                            Edit: I also checked Portable version and result is the same

                                  @andrew84 Maybe the problem is related to it? Some incompatibility, lack of support, don't know.

                                    @leocg I don't know.
                                    I thought the resolution could play a role here (because laptop has poor 1366x768 display), I tried to connect 1920x1080 monitor as external display but video also plays fine.

                                      @pclaudel1 @leocg I using 4196, I found why. I open another opera window at other desktop area ( I always switch among several desktop). If the windows in other desktop opening, the new opera windows at current desktop can close by click the tab button.

                                        @davidgould: Definitely happened with Hibernation and on 4196.

                                        The reason tabs and history get wiped is because Opera acts as if it's starting with a partially empty profile. So the empty tabs and history get saved over the ones you want.
                                        If you get a crash like this, open Task Explorer and kill all the "opera.exe" tasks. It's the only way to save your tabs and history.

                                          @burnout426 Sorry for disturbing, but I compared two Opera://gpu reports side by side and there are more differences. One of them related to Haswell (I have g3450 on Desktop and this is Haswell family)

                                            @andrew84 Not a suggested solution, but I wonder if the CPU usage goes down in 81 for the h.264 video if you enable opera://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist, restart Opera and test.

                                            And, maybe the --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds command-line switch.
