I tried extracting both the libffmpeg.so file from version 69 and from the version 71 (extracted from the Ubuntu repos with deb files):Ĭhromium-codecs-ffmpeg_.100-0ubuntu1_bĬhromium-codecs-ffmpeg_.98-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_b

Īs for widevine installation, I'm not sure.Ī Former User last edited by A Former Userįrom what I can tell, I seem to have Chromium version 70: When that happens, you repeat the steps and replace the libfmpeg.so in the lib_extra folder with the new one.Īs for where to find the right ffmpeg, try There are Vivaldi and Opera ones for Chromium 71 and Opera ones for Chromium 72. Then, you'll be good to go until Opera jumps to a new major version of Chromium. Find the file in a tar.gz file for example, extract it and put it in the lib_extra folder.

Don't install any packages or anything, which might interfere with other programs. Then, you can search for and find a libffmpeg.so that's built for that major version of Chromium. Leave that one alone and let Opera update it when it needs to.įor what one you download, you have to goto the URL opera://about and take note of the Chromium major version. You're not supposed to replace the libffmpeg.so that's included with Opera. If you haven't created the 'lib_extra' folder yet, you'll need to create it first. You put the libffmpeg.so you download at '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so'.
