@SmokDiplodok said in libffmpeg.so needs to be changed every installation:

@javickers There's no need to do any Google tricks.
Just download the file for Linux from this page
https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt
and upload it here
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/

Oh, cool, thanks! I'll try that next time Opera gets an update...

This always works for me, and I do it every time I update Opera. It's a pain, unfortunately. Opera is a rather odd browser; it has some good points and a few annoying ones.

Yeah - I've been using Opera since version 3 (when you had to pay actual money for it!) - it was a bit of a sad day when they dropped the Presto engine & reskinned Chromium - but after that setback, they pulled back most (maybe all) of the features I really liked about it. If it weren't for this libffmpeg thing, I'd say Opera's about as close as you can get to the perfect browser.

Update: The libffmpeg.so that comes with Slack seem to work.

This no longer works

I've been doing the "Use Chromium's libffmpeg.so" "trick" for several years; but after the last 2-3 updates (or so), if I copy across Chromium's version, Opera just crashes whenever it tries to play ANY video - even ones it is capable of by itself.

Looking for a new solution now

At various times, I like to change my passwords for security. But I'm also lazy & use Opera to sync passwords between my many computers.

Some sites, e.g. amazon.co.uk, I've change the password, but the Opera sync'd password is still my old one. I don't get the little drop-down bar offering to update it when I over-type my new, correct, password.

I can't find anywhere to edit or delete a sync'd password, without deleting the whole damn lot. Which I really really don't want to do.

Can anyone tell me how to remove or update just one sync'd password?

Thanks!

Earlier today, I logged into Barclays banking. All was well.

Shortly afterwards, I noticed my Opera icon was red, it wanted me to re-start to update to the latest version. So I did.

Now I can't access Barclays... it's telling my my browser is not supported or is too old...

This has now happened on every instance of Opera I run (I have several computers, all running Opera), except for my Linux machine, which I'm now purposely not updating.

I can get a screen grab if you like.

The reason I'm reporting this as an Opera bug is because it worked fine with the previous version, but not with the NEW version...

Info that might be useful. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1.

From Opera's about page:

@missingno - thanks for the update

Bloody shame I have copies of Opera all over the place and I love that they all stay in sync with each other... especially the passwords thing.

I guess I shall keep waiting & hoping that the Opera dev team bring over some of the brilliant stuff they did before they dumped Pesto.

Does the shiny metallic version of Opera come with the useful stuff yet - built-in content blocker, best password saver in the business, the ability to move the tabs to the bottom, to show the menu as a "normal old-fashioned" menu? Does Opera Link work with it?
