 Posted: Sat May 07, 2016 10:53 pm Post subject: [Solved] HTML5 video in Opera |
 |
|
I'm trying to watch this movie in Opera 36 but keep getting the error "no compatible source was found for this video". I think it uses H.264 encoding, which I attempted to enable by following these instructions: I emerged media-video/ffmpeg-2.8.6, which put a libffmpeg.so file in /usr/lib64/opera, then I copied the file to /usr/lib64/opera/lib. I still can't watch the video, however, and HTML5test still says I'm lacking H.264 support:
| Code: |
Video 31/35
video element Yes ✔
Subtitles Yes ✔
Audio track selection No ✘
Video track selection No ✘
Poster images Yes ✔
Codec detection Yes ✔
Advanced
DRM support Yes ✔
Media Source extensions Yes ✔
Codecs
MPEG-4 ASP support No ✘
H.264 support No ✘
Ogg Theora support Yes ✔
WebM with VP8 support Yes ✔
WebM with VP9 support Yes ✔
|
I'm able to watch YouTube videos, but this page also says I'm missing H.264.
I've searched all over these forums and all over Google, figuring it would be a fairly common problem. What am I missing?

Oh yes, I remember this problem when I used Opera. Its been a long time ago, but for me the fix was installing “chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra” from Ubuntu repositories.
For me, ffmpeg package doesnt provide libffmpeg.so I could copy. Where did you get that? Also, if thats the case, be sure your ffmpeg is compiled with x264 use flag.
Anyway, I made my own ebuild to download and install the Ubuntu version. You just have to make sure the Chromium version in your Opera matches the one in chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra, as far as I know Opera-36 uses Chromium-49. So try to find chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra-49.your.operas.chromium.version, for example, chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra-49.0.2623.87, and it should work. You can see the chromium version somewhere in Operas "about" page.
Heres the ebuild I used, remember to rename it for correct version.

Of course, you can just manually download and move the libffmpeg.so too.
It should work, but in case it doesnt, take a look at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opera-ffmpeg-codecs/ this page.
Good luck!
I use Vivaldi nowadays and it works when I install http://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs-50.0.2661.94-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz this file into /opt/vivaldi, so easy. |

Actually, that file apparently belongs to Opera and not the ffmpeg package:
| Code: |
$ equery f opera
* Searching for opera ...
* Contents of www-client/opera-36.0.2130.65:
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/opera -> ../lib64/opera/opera
/usr/lib64
/usr/lib64/opera
/usr/lib64/opera/content_shell.pak
/usr/lib64/opera/extensions_shell_and_test.pak
/usr/lib64/opera/icudtl.dat
/usr/lib64/opera/keyboard_resources.pak
/usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so
/usr/lib64/opera/libfreetype.so.6
|
According to this article, all the *.so files should be copied to opera/lib after building ffmpeg:
| Code: |
sudo cp -Pv /tmp/opera-ffmpeg/lib/*.so* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib
|
In that case, maybe it's referring to the avcodec libs?
| Code: |
$ equery l ffmpeg
...

Edit: this is the result of following the instructions in that article:
| Code: |
$ find builds/ffmpeg -name "*.so*"
./libavcodec/libavcodec-opera.so.57
./libavcodec/libavcodec-opera.so
./libavformat/libavformat-opera.so.57
./libavformat/libavformat-opera.so
./libswresample/libswresample-opera.so
./libswresample/libswresample-opera.so.2
./libavutil/libavutil-opera.so
./libavutil/libavutil-opera.so.55
./libavfilter/libavfilter-opera.so.6
./libavfilter/libavfilter-opera.so
./libavdevice/libavdevice-opera.so.57
./libavdevice/libavdevice-opera.so
./libswscale/libswscale-opera.so.4
./libswscale/libswscale-opera.so

I tried copying all of these to opera and opera/lib folders, with and without the "-opera" suffix, with no difference.

What do you mean by "Chromium in my Opera?" This is what is shown on opera://about page:

Thanks, I will check it out as soon as I can break my dependency on LastPass. At least the size of Vivaldi seems comparable to Opera (~43 MiB), which is one reason I use it.
Edit 2: after changing the SRC_URI in your ebuild to "http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/${PN}_${PV}-0ubuntu0.15.10.1.1223_amd64.deb" and merging it, Opera just crashes when I try to watch that video. Is it because the version is for Chrome/49.0.2623.108 and I am using Chrome/49.0.2623.110? |
