Opera and x264
I googled about this some time and did not really find a good solution that makes Opera work with that codec. What would be the best way to fix this? The problem is that more and more Youtube videos refuses to play.

Does it works if you try to install www-plugins/opera-ffmpeg-codecs? https://gpo.zugaina.org/www-plugins/opera-ffmpeg-codecs

Re: Opera and x264
Looks possible... Not sure on what steps that is needed to install it. Done some reading about emerge/layman and stuff. Since I already have Chrome for compability reasons with Tidal for example, I could just as well use it for Youtube too 
Still would be nice to know what I need to do to install it. Looks like Layman is needed...
Prefer that Opera fixes the issues with the codec... Some licensing issues I assume.

Re: Opera and x264
Since i saw that GCC8 is needed, I found another solution that saves time and trouble.
First download the package from archlinux
unpack it & go into that
then we create subfolder and copy the file to that
Now just delete the downloaded things.
Now you ready to watch your videos 
You can test the codecs on http://demo.nimius.net/video_test/
I can confirm that this works!
First download the package from archlinux
Code: Select all
cd --
wget https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/opera-ffmpeg-codecs/download/
Code: Select all
tar -xf index.html
cd /home/$USER/usr/lib/opera/lib_extra
Code: Select all
# mkdir /usr/lib/opera/lib_extra
# cp /home/$USER/usr/lib/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so
Now just delete the downloaded things.
Code: Select all
cd /home/$USER
rm index.html
rm -rf usr
