Since my last world update, opera stopped playing some videos (not all). For example youtube live stream, twitter or telegram web videos do not play anymore.

I've found out that the problem is with ffmpeg
Code:
$ ldd `which opera`
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff27e5c000)
        libffmpeg.so => not found
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f8d4170f000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f8d4170a000)
        libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f8d416a8000)
...


Code:
$ ls /opt/opera/libffmpeg.so
/opt/opera/libffmpeg.so
$ ls /usr/lib64/chromium/libffmpeg.so.121
/usr/lib64/chromium/libffmpeg.so.121


Code:
$ emerge -pv opera ffmpeg ffmpeg-chromium

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

i *think* it happened when upgrading from opera 106 to 10.7
Code:
$ grep "completed.*opera" /var/log/emerge.log
1702588185:  ::: completed emerge (116 of 137) www-client/opera-105.0.4970.34 to /
1702932871:  ::: completed emerge (56 of 135) www-client/opera-105.0.4970.48 to /
1704566763:  ::: completed emerge (170 of 221) www-client/opera-106.0.4998.19 to /
1707475309:  ::: completed emerge (217 of 314) www-client/opera-107.0.5045.15 to /
1707950517:  ::: completed emerge (18 of 21) www-client/opera-107.0.5045.21 to /
1708067359:  ::: completed emerge (1 of 1) www-client/opera-107.0.5045.21 to /



why doesn't opera see the library installed in its $OPERA_HOME?
What has changed that it suddently doesn't work?

Thank you, I made it work with
Code:
sudo cp /usr/lib64/chromium/libffmpeg.so.121 /opt/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so

overwriting the existing one. It's the .so from package media-video/ffmpeg-chromium-121

emsy, thanks, that works for me too. Also, it does work if you use a symlink instead of copying the file, which is nicer. I guess the problem I had last time I tried (with the wrong version ffmpeg) was down to finger trouble.

Thank for the tips, replacing /opt/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so did the works for me.

Code:
pkg_postinst() {
        elog "Replacing /opt/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so with a symlink to /usr/lib64/chromium/libffmpeg.so.121"
        elog "Running
        ln -fs /usr/lib64/chromium/libffmpeg.so.121 /opt/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so"
        ln -fs /usr/lib64/chromium/libffmpeg.so.121 /opt/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so
}


I did this until the ebuild is fixed

Looks like the ebuild is fixed, I remove my edited file /etc/portage/env/www-client/opera


The folder /opt/opera/lib_extra don't exist anymore
The package do a good
Code:
/opt/opera/libffmpeg.so -> ../../usr/lib64/chromium/libffmpeg.so.121

Opera run fine now
