        If the one from https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/latest doesn't work, try the one from https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/tag/0.113.0.

            @LeviaKirin Under assets at https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v43.3.0, download "electron-v43.3.0-linux-x64.zip" and get the libffmpeg.so out if it.

            From https://social.vivaldi.net/@ruario@ruario.vivaldi.net/116810957378851380, that one should be compatible with Chromium 150 that Opera 134 is based on and also only require glibc 2.17. Worth a try.

              Why don't you just rollback to the working version?
              if You have flatpack version it looks like this:

              # I am using opera-gx, but the process should be the same for or com.opera.Opera
              flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.opera.opera-gx # checking version history
              sudo flatpak update --commit=80c19d26639c4fda2f4bb93a2a16a9a87d428e15bd387cad7d16034f4b8b5095 com.opera.opera-gx # commit differs for non-gx version, just pick parent of stable version it should be enough # pull request #40 for gx pull request #270 for non-gx
              sudo flatpak mask com.opera.opera-gx # blocking auto-update 
              ...
              # after some time I recommand turning back auto-updates. Opera should resolve the problem in some upcoming commit
              sudo flatpak mask --remove com.opera.opera-gx

                @PStona well I rolled back in the time being but I didn't want to being stuck with an older version forever

                    I was able to solve this issue on my CachyOS by replacing chromium-ffmpeg-8.1.2-1 with vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs-150.0.7871.120-1.1

                      Glad to see the Electron 43.3.0 workaround finally solved the issue for you. The GLIBC compatibility problem makes this update especially frustrating on Linux, so having a working FFmpeg build is definitely useful. Hopefully Opera fixes the underlying compatibility issue in a future release.
