there was no need to reinstall it, running "fix-opera" command manually after few hours is enough

Unpack this and copy the libffmpeg.so from unpack folder /chromium/usr/lib/chromium/ to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so

Restart Opera.
[1] or http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstream/c/chromium/ and download the lasted wilma_amd64.deb Chromium version.

Tested on Debian/unstable
Opera version: 111.0.5168.25
Chromium version: 125.0.6422.143

I installed this script before, and it runs every time Opera is updated. Why is this problem not solved when it runs? When I reinstalled it, the issue was solved.

But in future, it would be a good idea not to update to a new major version immediately after release.

So be careful about updating

@nomtigel My most addons came from chromium ext. Plz goto Linux (.org) for best Q&A
I have also a debian version: NP's Opera blockers or codecs. Download K-Lite Full

Hello,
thanks for pointing me (and us) at this. But I have to ask:

  • "NP's Opera blockers or codecs" vs. "Download K-Lite Full: are those two different things mentioned?
  • K-Lite-Full appears to be a Windows.EXE only archive, nothing for linux?

Thanks.

Ah thx - I already suspected that there could be some kind of tricky law thing involved.

So, to make sure I was not seeing a Fata Morgana when using another browser I've tried (again) with Falkon, which I installed via apt-get. Browsed to a video in YT which I know requires this extra codec initially not present with Opera at this time, and wouldn't you know, it worked.

So, apparently there seems be a codec available that installs within debian regulations (I have not used Chrome, but I have used MS Edge, which, yes, works in linux, too) and it might be possible for Opera to also utilize it.
