@darkshadow05 https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine should work

@valdineidossantos follow steps from that page https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine
But note that script can't run automatically if you're installing Opera manually by dpkg. In such case you'll need to run script as described in step 3, or using alias "fix-opera" if you've made step 4.

Fix:
Main branch. Currently works fine:
https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine
Testing branch allowing to create auto-fix hook for apt (hope to get feedback if it works or not):
https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/tree/lazy

https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine works
On Arch-based and Debian-based distros it may run automatically after opera update

@cupid-101 https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/

@lavanyadeepak-0 it needs newer version.
Restore back original libffmpeg.so and then use this https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine

@clafix said in The Videos Don't Play Topic:

I had same issue. I changed just one flag:
opera://flags/#use-angle - from value "Default" to value "OpenGL".
And it helped me, now h.264 video playing correctly!
Test video: http://demo.nimius.net/video_test/
Opera v81.0.4196.60 stable.

I'm using the same Opera version but I can't find the #use-angle flag.

It's only in windows version.

@styen

Hm...the update function in Opera Menu is not doing anything. So I tried with the terminal using

sudo apt --only-upgrade install

so...

q4os@q4os-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo apt --only-upgrade install opera-stable
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
opera-stable is already the newest version (81.0.4196.60).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
q4os@q4os-desktop:~/Desktop$

It looks as I have to be patiently until Q4OS sends the next Opera update? Or what can I do?

Also you may download it directly from opera.com

This solves the problem.

@styen But my last installations works fine. the bug started after last opera update Yesterday

New version of Opera based on Chromium 100 which is incompatible with older libffmpeg.so. So if you applied old fix that replaced libffmpeg.so that comes with Opera, it will crash on every page containing video or sound.

The script above doesn't replace that lib, but adds new one to lib_extra folder.

@jhog simply use https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine
But first reinstall Opera

sudo apt reinstall opera-stable

sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99fix-opera

I have no missing dependencies on Linux Mint Una (20.3)

@juandev if you're using snap version, you need to add print permission to opera package.

I tried this https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine , don´t fixed the problem

Try it on clean opera installation. It's highly likely you've tried other fixes previously.
