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.
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 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.
@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. 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.
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.
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.
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
@kmielczarczyk Thank you for the information, we are waiting for a satisfactory resolution.
@leocg You refer to enter the folder and run the exe, or if I have downloaded the new exe with version 105. I mean, I have not entered the folder and has not given to run the exe, nor have I downloaded the exe of the 105. I have always updated in windows, Opera from web with the options I mentioned and have never given problems.
@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.
I have a laptop with windows 11 and its last updated version 23h2, and I can't update to version 105, from the last 104. I have already tried to restore the browser. Does anyone have any idea why it happens. Because as much as I give to update in help and then about opera, and also then from settings, there is no way. The laptop is new bought last year in December. Having already the 23h2 windows, was updated to the latest 104 without problems, which ends in 54, but today there is no way to do it. And it does not help me to download the exe again, from the web, if when the 106 stable comes out, from the 105 is not possible or does not want to upgrade to 106.
Thanks in advance
Regards.
@leocg I do not know, the only thing I can tell you, is that they are 1080 videos or that you can put 1080, but I do not know if they use hardware acceleration, because as you can see, everything is normal in the data that I have sent you and I have been commenting. It is also true that I do not know where to look at the hardware acceleration in these videos.
@leocg this is what the first section says, I hope it is the one you are telling me about.
@leocg yes it is active, but it says it only uses it when available
@leocg In resources I mean CPU, almost 57 percent and in some moments over 100%, this does not happen with this version but it comes with the whole 104 series. In fact I want to watch videos in 1080p, and I have to download them. And that I have 32 ram, and intel 7-7700.
I think this should be reviewed, I do not even want to think about those who have an intel 5 or 3.
Using youtube consumes a lot of resources, even in 480p with a 12 minute video. any ideas?
@wolfshards I use it in snap on Ubuntu 22.04 and it works perfectly. I had the DEB installed, but I removed it precisely because the videos, you can not see them, because they are missing the h264 codecs. To always get out of doubt do before new version the html5test test, there will tell you if you have the h264 and you can see videos. I always do it, and the snap version always has them active.
