playing videos on Opera on Linux
This is a easy fix!
Download the last libffmpeg from [here](https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/) and decompress it.
Install at Opera directory, click at the top left corner at the Opera logo and About Opera, look at your Opera Installation path, on Debian is at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera
Copy the libffmpeg.so to that path with:
`sudo cp libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera`
Restart Opera

The fix is not permanent, for every Opera update you need to do this again.
For Debian there is no chromium codec and this libffmpeg is always up-to-date and align with Opera updates.
