opera-stable "To be able to play videos from Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Twitch and other streaming platforms you must do the following: Temporarily install a version of vivaldi or a version of vivaldi-snapshot that uses the same major version of Chromium as your Opera and grab its libffmpeg.so from var/opt/vivaldi/media-codecs-.../ or var/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/media-codecs-.../. Make sure proprietary codecs work fine in Vivaldi first. After having installed vivaldi, copy the libffmpeg.so file and paste it in the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/, if the lib_extra folder is not created, you must create it first and then paste the file libffmpeg.so inside. Finally, open the browser and check if it plays videos on your favorite platforms. Note: Whenever Opera updates to use a new major version of Chromium, your libffmpeg.so will become incompatible (and might even cause Opera to start crashing). When this happens, you'll have to find a new libffmpeg.so that's compatible with the new major version of Chromium. I will change my rating when they solve this problem." |
