@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 ...

@valour47 Thanks for your Info. 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.

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

@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 ...

@Forgottenleo the same with PCLinuxOS. Previous version of opera worked as it should.

@9Dragons vivaldi and all other browsers handle it better. no need to do anything by the user.

@leocg It is the job of the opera-crew to fix this bug. Not users job!
A browser who doesn't play videos is useless.

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

@bothie @cruz-jesus @skunkarific
thanks for your suggestions. in the meantime it works as it should. a distro-update long time ago did it ...

@cgvalente agree!
we want the titlebar again!

@bombacha agree! works fine from scratch

@leocg Opera is the only browser whose users are forced to use certain "rules ... to find ... a solution" to make this browser fully functional!
Users of vivaldi, firefox, slimjet and many other browsers simply have to use it ...

@burnout426 i am an opera-fan since more than ten years, but it makes me really angry that this browser gets worse with every update.
they add bells and whistles, but the basics do not work anymore!!!!

to me its not ok that the USER has to fix this problem after every update
