Run with: sudo /bin/bash opera-fix-ffmpeg.sh Remember: When downloading the script from the internet, it is always a good idea to inspect the script first. You can use this handy script to fix ffmpeg support for you, whenever it gets broken.įetch the always up to date script from here, or simply use this command to directly download the script: curl -fsSL -o opera-fix-ffmpeg.sh Applying the solution manually every time is a pain. My previous solution still works, but you might lose the changes (symlink) when Opera gets updated. Sudo ln -s /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/ Sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so Usually the second step is to create a symlink for the file libffmpeg.so, but since now the Opera browser delivers a file with this name (but not solving the problem), we will delete it and then create a simlink to the new file.

Solving the problem of the Opera browser with video playback in Ubuntu and similar distributions (Linux Mint, KDE neon, etc)Ĭurrently your browser does not recognize any of the available video formats
