@nuiin I confirm what you say, the same thing happens to me in Ubuntu 22.04, I will report it too, I have installed the snap version and the .deb, and both do the same, the only one that does not is the snap beta. I also tried it on a minipc with ubuntu 20.04, and the same thing happens, click the opera icon and skip/load 2 instead of 1. The worst thing is that according to snapcraft.io this 103 is an edge version, but for the opera web is stable, for the ubuntu software store, which is itself a snap store, both the stable and edge is the 103, and for the ppa (.deb) is the 103 also a stable. It is not understood at all.

I confirm that Nuiin's solution, it works, just follow the steps he said "reset Opera keeping my personal data (Opera icon -> Update & Recovery -> Recover -> "Keep my data and only reset Opera settings" click Recover button)". I just did it with my opera from .DEB and with my opera from SNAP, using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. With this you don't lose any data or bookmarks, you just have to reconfigure the browser to your liking and that's it. Of course if you choose to delete data and settings, if you have to start from scratch. So, before doing Nuiin's solution I have exported my passwords and speed dialers, you never know. What I have noticed, is that thanks to this solution, another bug that is reporting, which is that it takes a long time to clear the history, even if you have only opened a tab, has been solved.

Postadata: Now I just hope that in the next stable this solution does not cause problems, in theory it should not because it is a reset.

Thanks Nuiin, for the solution, you saved my day.

Best regards.

Hi I have the latest version 86.0.4363.23, on Ubuntu (Linux) 18.04, and until yesterday I had the latest version of 85, everything was fine. But now except for Youtube, I can't play any video from any website. Whether news, entertainment etc.... Moreover, I usually watch Netflix from the browser and I get the Widevine Content Decryption Module error:

Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 4.10.2449.0
Status - Components not up to date
Check for updates

And this is the result it gives. The thing is that I refresh the page and it says that the components are up to date, but I hit it again and it says that they are not.

Never in all that I've been using opera, which is since versions 30 and something, I had never happened. And no matter how I install it, in ubuntu (either snap or deb). It doesn't fix or work.

It is something desperate, that every time there is an update, in one of them, always happens this problem of videos in Ubuntu (at least in my case).

This is like having a browser in beta or test version, but it doesn't work. And I deleted cokies, I went to browse without add-ons and also in private mode... and there is no way.

You can't do anything that has to do with video...

Best regards

Postadata:

Every how many days an update comes out, because the 86.0.4363.17 was perfect, but this .23 final, this to be polished... at least in linux (ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04)

Any solution?

@burnout426: In snap format, it's fixed, in .deb it's still the same. Thanks for the information.

I confirm that it is not possible to upload anything, in any web site either mega or similar or even outlook itself with attachments. I use ubuntu 22.04 lts. I think it must be that this version is based on the 116 latest version of chromium, and not the current 117. Anyway.

Hi, I don't know if it happens to everyone, but in Linux Ubuntu 22.04, when I click on the icon to open the browser, instead of opening only one, it opens two, (As if you give several clicks to the icon, I only give one). My question is a bug in this version, I say, because the first few days to have it, ie came out on October 2, we are at 5, well those first two days, did not do what to get two, to click the icon to open it.

If someone knows something, I would appreciate the answer.

Best regards.

@leocg What happens is that if I do it from Help in the dropdown, it opens the page where the version is displayed and starts to think looking for updates, but after less than 1 minute, it stops doing it and says that it is updated, without having changed anything, I mean the version.

If I do it from settings directly, I click on check for updates, it starts to think, but after less than 1 minute, it returns that it is already updated, but the version remains the same.

When I say the same version is that it stays with the 104 finished in 54 and says that there is no new one and that it is updated.

For the love of God, as the snap is packed in Opera, this 107, is still the same as the last 106 finished in 70, videos are still not seen in Ubuntu 22.04.03 Lts, but in Windows 11, if they work perfectly. Do me a favor, I don't want to offend, but improve the snap, so that it works as it should, and the same with the .deb.

Don't talk to me about ffmpeg, because I have them all updated, so that's not it.

Best regards.

@jedi-am Certainly it already works again the thing of the videos, and it continues happening as it happened in the past, that is to say, it is fixed with the later versions, without need to add, ffmpeg of other places, but if it serves to others that option that they use it without problem. In theory having the chromium ffmpeg installed from snap, should go all right, without the need to go to the ffmpeg that have been discussed.

A greeting.

Postadata: Now let's see if the streak is maintained and the next one is not messed up again with the videos.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould and @leocg and:

For everyone whether they are windows or Linux (Ubuntu and other flavors), it has been updated to the latest version, that is:

Opera One(version: 111.0.5168.25) based on chromium stable:
Chromium version:125.0.6422.143

I just updated on windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.04 Lts, on Ubuntu via snap and I had no problems with video playback (I am using chromium ffmpeg 0.1 stable snap version from May 16, 2024). Link: https://snapcraft.io/chromium-ffmpeg

As for the emojis there is no problem when closing the windows with the X, they are still there but they don't bother me, maybe they overload the browser if you have a lot of tabs open, but they don't bother me.

As I said in my previous comment, you have to be patient.

Best regards.

Postadata: For those who updated via synpatic or gdebi or via terminal or with the software updater of Ubuntu and other flavors, know that the stable version of opera, is the one from yesterday and not the current one, see the ppa page:

https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/opera (opera-stable 111.0.5168.18) I imagine it will be updated soon be patient.

For more information you can go to the stable web of opera, where is already the 111.05168.25) here: https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/category/stable-2/ and inside there by clicking here: https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2024/06/opera-111/ where you can see the release date of the version today June 12, 2024.

Even if you are on Ubuntu (Linux) and use the snap format, there is this version I wonder:

112.0.5197.44

I say this because if you search in snapcraft.io (https://snapcraft.io/opera) , you get that 112 ending in .44 with the latest edge, but nowhere appears even in the deb format.

Does anyone know anything about it or has been discussed in windows about that version?

Best regards.

The problem of the videos in Opera in particular in Ubuntu, is simple to fix, you have to have the Chromium-ffmpeg snap updated. With it you will see all the videos without problems. What happens is that sometimes the snap /deb etc of opera is not updated as fast in linux as in Windows, hence the lag and therefore the videos do not work. Apart from looking if the Youtube videos work is not always the most advisable thing to do. I go directly to newspaper videos (using html5 etc) or television websites or platforms, if those work then there is no problem. You can check the browser in this web https://html5test.com there this web analyzes it and tells you if it has this codecs, by default when it happens not to be able the videos, in that web in the multimedia section and inside there video, must be marked with green check mark the codec H264, if it is not the videos not in Opera will not be seen.

In any case not to confuse you.

1. Have the snap or the chromium-ffmpeg package always updated (A few days ago an update came out).
2. Apart from Youtube, check, that you can watch videos in newspapers / online magazines as they use Html5, and also try in TV channels, which have their online version and also streaming platforms, such as Netflix and similar.
   and 3) Test in each new updated version of Opera, the web https://html5test.com that will tell you if H264 is missing.

I hope I can help everyone.

P.S.: Always be patient because they are based on the version of Chrome and usually go one behind.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould said in You can now decorate your tabs with Emojis in Opera :

@leocg Obviously, I'm ahead of my time

You are not ahead of your time, just that the .deb package (since you are using synaptic), was released yesterday, in fact on my ubuntu 20.04, which I have the deb, it was updated. Not so with the snap of that same 20.04. In fact for snap it is still coming out, the latest 110.0.5130.66. And this also happens to me on my main pc Ubuntu 22.04.04 lts, where I only have it for snap. No matter where you look if you put snap info opera in a terminal you get 110.0.5130.66 as stable but with yesterday's date of update (I want to think it's a mistake, because to me the one that ends in .66 of the 110, I was renewed on June 4), on the other hand it is true what @leocg says, there is still no stable web for this 111 that you point out. However if you go to https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/opera there if this the 111 you mention, therefore, and as I said if you use synaptic, ie you have .deb instead of snap, you have been updated, for those who have snap not yet (here you can see https://snapcraft.io/opera) and as you will see if you click on the arrow where it says latest/stable you will see that this the 110 finished in .66 and also as date says Yesterday. Moreover I emphasize if you go to https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/category/stable-2/, the last one that will come out is the 110 ending in 66 and dated June 4. In short, for Linux this is still a bit of a disaster, there is no way to have updated opera without scares or strange things. I am about to think that it is a silent update, that it exists, but it is not but which is not published on the official website of opera stables. In fact in my windows 11, yesterday I tried to update and I did not jump in any way the update. I will have to be patient and when they decide to make it official I hope that the packagers of opera snap, put everything right. As for the chromium ffmpeg, I do not think they will release a new one soon, because it came out very recently that this snap (See in this link the date is 16 May https://snapcraft.io/chromium-ffmpeg) and is the one you do not have to touch when you happen to the videos, without having to enter to modify anything with the lib in github etc.. Also I think that opera is waiting for the update of chrome (Chromium) that will not take long because the beta of 126, is from June 6 (at least by snap) but the 125 that ends in 141 (The current one is from June 3). So I don't know what to think. In short, patience, there is no other option. As for the emojis, with version 110 that ends in 66 of opera, that is, the current stable, the I don't use them, because I don't like it, but it is what it is. but who says @leocg The thing about closing the windows with the X was solved.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould: Totally true, I was going crazy, because I thought I had the wrong mouse or it was connected wrong. This should be improved, because it is a waste of time to have to right click on the drop down and click close window. Let's see if they fix that bug or implement it better. Now I wonder how much consumption add those emojis in ram etc. with the browser open if you are one of those who put many tabs open, because I think the more interactive things more consumption.

@jedi-am Certainly it already works again the thing of the videos, and it continues happening as it happened in the past, that is to say, it is fixed with the later versions, without need to add, ffmpeg of other places, but if it serves to others that option that they use it without problem.

@leocg

Thanks for the info.

In that case the new stable version would be for this week almost at the end, since it was released on January 31 the 106, which ends in 70.

This is just to get an idea.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould

I have no problems with ffmepg, I have installed chromium ffmpeg on snap, which was updated two days ago, and the version that carries ubuntu is up to date. So that should not be a problem. In addition, Opera must be about to move to 107, since Chrome/Chromium, 121, its last update was less than 3 days ago and opera 106 finished in 70, came out on January 31, that is days before the new 121. In the past, when this happened to me of the videos was to wait for a new opera stable, and so it has always worked, what I find strange, is that it had been a long time without it happening. But as I say, that this 106 ending in 70 is based on Chrome/Chromium of a 120 version, already expired and not in the current 121 ending in 139, I think with respect a big failure.

Greetings.

I have opera in snap on ubuntu 22.04.03 lts, the videos are not showing. It has not happened to me for a long time, in any other browser I can see them. I do not know if it has to do that Chrome/chromium are on version 121.0.6167.139 and Opera 106.0.4998.70 is based on Chrome 120.0.6099.268. That is an important gap. Finally a question, how often the stable versions of Opera are updated, 15 days?

I hope you can solve the video issue (I mean, I can't see videos from facebook, instagram, some youtube, newspapers in general, magazines and TV platforms or Netflix).

The same thing happens in windows? with this version 106.0.4998.70

Best regards
