@brucehankins Well, if you've repackaged opera, is there symlink for opera somewhere in PATH? It's required to detect opera directory by script.
Post here output ofdirname $(readlink -f $(which opera))
It should be the correct Opera installation path
Also if original libffmpeg.so from .deb replaced with something else, return it back before applying fix. -

The problem with this codec breaking Opera frequently is terribly irritating. It seems to me that if Opera can not ship with the codec there is little that can be done about that. But why can new releases of Opera not come with a script that downloads and copies the correct the correct version of ffmpeg that is required for that specific release. I mean seriously how hard would it be to include this script in either a directory or link to it from within the settings. click it, download the right version, ask for credentials and copy the correct file to the correct location. Why do we have to deal with this every time a new version of Opera appears when the problem doesn't exist with the other browsers that are available and if it does exist why is this not such a problem.

I understand that they can't provide the codecs themselves, including downloading it from a third party through a script. -

@yogimanuk Agree ... It is a weird situation, although I can live with it. I created my own script that I always run after an Opera update

@benvantende Yes I too have a script that copies the files, my problem is I never know what codec version to download and where from.

@jferreira I agree, but I'm not leaving. Unfortunately for the users on my distro of choice, Opera will be held back on 79 until a fix is implemented and 80 truly is stable and not so much of a dev/beta release.

After updating opera I receive this error:
opera: symbol lookup error: opera: undefined symbol: av_stream_get_first_dts
then i just reinstalled opera-ffmpeg-codecs in Software Manager and it worked.
My system is manjaro KDE -
