On youtube or other sites its not possible to watch streaming-videos anymore.
With previous opera-version everything was ok!

@cgvalente agree!
we want the titlebar again!

@burnout426 I had the same problem like ude.
Your workaround solved it. Many thanks!

@burnout426 Thank you for all the information. That's very kind of you.

I solved the problem for now by copying libffmpeg.so from the Vivaldi directory to the Opera directory. Now everything is working as usual again.

@peterhuba Thats not true:

@3333e As i wrote: Its a quick solution for now.
The Opera-Crew has to deliver a browser who is able to play videos. Welcome to the 21. Century!

@3333e Thanks for the info. But my solution posted above is to me - as user - much more simpler ...

@alexs Are you kidding me? the linked opera-posting is from 2018!
Till few days ago all was as it should. The last update broke the video-functionality.

If opera is not able to fix it, its time to change to another browser. As simple as that.

@leocg lol the user has to fix it? not the opera-crew? seriously?
Why are ALL other browsers able to play videos from the scatch?

@sgunhouse "... you will need to do that yourself" ..... or you switch to another browser, who is able to play videos from the scratch.

@leocg previous versions of opera could play videos, current version not => bug.
If it is a "feature", it is time to switch to vivaldi.

@leocg previous versions of opera could play videos. all other browsers can play videos ...
