@lavanyadeepak-0 Use https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine
But first reinstall opera

sudo apt reinstall opera-stable

This solves the problem.

@valdineidossantos follow steps from that page https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine
But note that script can't run automatically if you're installing Opera manually by dpkg. In such case you'll need to run script as described in step 3, or using alias "fix-opera" if you've made step 4.

@linuc You need to install git to clone the repo.
Or download and unpack https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/archive/refs/heads/main.zip and make install.sh executable

Opera 99 seems to be incompatible with latest libffmpeg.so (0.77.0)
If you're using https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine simply re-run "fix-opera" in console

I'll republish 0.77 after opera 100 release, so do not install it immediately after release, better wait day or two.

@spinnekop just use deb version and this fix: https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine

https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine works
On Arch-based and Debian-based distros it may run automatically after opera update

@cupid-101 https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/

@lavanyadeepak-0 it needs newer version.
Restore back original libffmpeg.so and then use this https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine

@clafix said in The Videos Don't Play Topic:

I had same issue. I changed just one flag:
opera://flags/#use-angle - from value "Default" to value "OpenGL".
And it helped me, now h.264 video playing correctly!
Test video: http://demo.nimius.net/video_test/
Opera v81.0.4196.60 stable.

I'm using the same Opera version but I can't find the #use-angle flag.

It's only in windows version.

@yakuzakyuu remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.sources

@valdineidossantos said in [Compilation] Discussions on Problems Playing Videos on Linux:

When I reinstalled it, the issue was solved.

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

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

@valdineidossantos https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine
But in future, it would be a good idea not to update to a new major version immediately after release.

@gidici61 parse list to get versions list, sort by version number, get latest version and then download it

LATEST_VERSION=`wget -q4O - https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/ | grep -Po 'href="\K.*?(?=/")' | sort -V | tail -n1`
wget "https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/${LATEST_VERSION}/linux/opera-stable_${LATEST_VERSION}_amd64.deb"

You can parse https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/ for latest version

@spinnekop just use deb version and this fix: https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine

@cmdrkrohw opera and opera-ffmpeg-codecs are moved to aur
