Facebook - Youtube HMTL5 videos not playing on Opera

Updated the solution as described in this link, or this link

User Chrome's libffmpeg.so file to render videos on Opera.

To do so first backup the original libffmpeg.so file in Opera.

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so
sudo cp libffmpeg.so libffmpeg.so.bak

Then remove the original file

sudo rm libffmpeg.so

Then link Chrome's libffmpeg.so file

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so


PS: Might have to link the file after every update.

Note: This solution might not work if Chrome and Opera versions are not compatible. Check for the same core Chromium version.
