@leocg Thank you for your help. I got Opera working again by executing (as root) "fix-opera.sh" downloaded from https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/blob/main/scripts/fix-opera.sh
Immediately after, I ran the installation script from "https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/tree/main". I just had to edit the scripts to remove "sudo" (because I don't have the "sudo" command installed on my system) and the installation was successful. -

This error re-occurs any time I update Opera on my debian system. Whenever there is an update available via apt-get, the error is seen again.
This fixed it for me:
Manually copy:
cp libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/This ffmpeg lib is taken from chrome, I guess.
Not sure why Opera cannot include an improved version of their own libffmpeg.

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.

@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 FullHello,
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.

The newest version (111?) of opera stable requires a newer version of libffmpeg.so (corresponding to chromium 125), a version which I cannot find - I've looked all the usual places. So be careful about updating

@sorenfeodor yes, a new version and a new video problem for opera, such that no other browser has.

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

@styen Thank you for your answer.
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.

@valdineidossantos there is time lag between the publish of new opera release and corresponding ffmpeg version

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

@sorenfeodor A version for chromium 125 can be found on https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/releases I haven't tested it yet. I expect that also means that Hagen's script will work.
