Why can't Opera do something like this :
HTML5 Proprietary Media on Linux
"... start Vivaldi from a Terminal using the command 'vivaldi'. The output printed on the terminal will include steps on how to install a support file. The output provided will be tailored to the version of Vivaldi you run, and take into account your distribution and architecture."
Also here is a page with test videos, which explains the h.264 problem :
@maydin95 said in Ubuntu 16.04 Video Problem:
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (x86_64; XFCE)
Opera 60.0.3255.170
Chrome 73.0.3683.103
Yes. I'm using Linux Mint, and Update Manager just yesterday offered a Chromium codecs upgrade to version 75.0.3770.90. Opera stable is that far behind.
In other threads, people have said that the snap package of Opera stable does not have this problem. Another option might be to use a version of Opera beta that matches your OS's Chromium codecs. The latest Opera beta is 62.0.3331.14, and has Chromium 75.0.3770.80.
Another option -- if it's alright to mention Vivaldi here. They have the same problem. Their browser uses your OS's h.264 codecs. If there's a mismatch, no h.264 videos. But they have a built-in fix : open the terminal, type vivaldi, and it figures out what to do. It then provides you with a long command-line thing that you copy and paste into the terminal window, it fetches the right codecs, installs them, and then you have the h.264 videos. I wish Opera would have something like that.
Yeah. Not working right. Crashes, errors, stuff like that.
Maybe it's time to do without Flash. A lot of sites work with html5 instead.
It's the second Tuesday of the month, and Adobe has released a new Flash Player : 23.0.0.185.
Over at the Adobe forums thread, staff says 23.0.0.185 fixes this issue.
I installed it, and I no longer get the "can't load plugin" issue.
One funny thing, though, every time I go to "settings", I get the Windows error message saying "Opera encountered a problem and needs to close". But when I click on "close" it doesn't close, and I can continue to use Opera with no problem.
It gives these details :
AppName: opera.exe AppVer: 36.0.2130.80 ModName: pepflashplayer32_23_0_0_185.dll
ModVer: 23.0.0.185 Offset: 000f47b5
This is on XP SP3, Opera 36.0.2130.80.
Uninstall Flash PPAPI plugin 23.0.0.162.
Download Flash PPAPI plugin 22.0.0.209.
Install it.
Be Happy.
Yeah, if this makes you happy :

Code execution, information disclosure, stuff like that.
Going back to 22.0.0.209 doesn't sound like a good idea.
And now the cat got out of the bag : we XP users may still be running 22.0.0.209.
Double shot of unpatched.
FML.
