Ok, I understand. Sorry.

For those who use Debian or Ubuntu, try this package:
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_75.0.3770.90-0ubuntu0.19.04.1_amd64.deb
I'm not sure if package installation will help, but the library from the package will.
The DEB , RPM , xz packages can be opened e.g. by Ark or others unzippers.

Other working example for Arch users:
opera-ffmpeg-codecs-75.0.3770.100-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

A libffmpeg.so file from both packages works also in Fedora 30.

To install codecs in a proper way for a particular distribution there must be a good guy who will pack it.
Today I only know a workaround - copy library from package to the system library directory.

@jimunderscorep
Of course you won't.
I see you have your own solution.

@jimunderscorep

It's just a library from Chromium. I don't remember from what version, but not from recent.

The same problem was solved by me here
https://forums.opera.com/post/149370
and it worked.

If you want to enable HTML5 video in Opera 62, please try to replace the libffmpeg.so file with a file from this tar.gz archive:
libffmpeg.so for opera 62

I have Fedora 30 and my Opera libffmpeg.so library is located in /usr/lib64/opera directory.

Download link may not be always accessible because of the Google Drive sharing limits, but I hope that all 12 men that uses Opera for Linux in the world will download it without problems.

@hasimir
I can't check it. Maybe someone in this thread will help?
Did you tried /usr/x84_64-linux-gnu/lib/opera ?

@mklinuxuser
I see. The file is gone, but you can try a newer version.
Look at link text

Today I found chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_69.0.3472.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1~17.10.1_amd64.deb there.

I didn't test libffmpeg.so from this file it, but I hope it works.

I've just fixed it.
I have a Fedora 28 x64, but it probably works for debianoids too.

• download link text
• the file is an archive, so unpack it.
• find libffmpeg.so in unpacked files
• copy it to opera libraries folder (in Fedora :/usr/lib64/opera)
• restart Opera
