This problem is to be put in the context of browser html5 support, more specifically support for h264 streams (which affected much more than Youtube live streams). I am editing this a bit to make it more largely significant and add what I have found myself, then I'll mark it as solved and grant the bounty too. usr/lib/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/ Move the library to the right place: sudo mv. (Or search the internet for something like opera-ffmpeg-codecs-xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the relevant Chrome base version.)Ĭreate the following directory: sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/ 181, download the opera-ffmpeg-codecs package from ArchLinux repository: wget Įxtract it: tar -xJf opera-ffmpeg-codecs-.181-1-x86_64.įor other versions - as Opera will be updated in time and the above may not work anymore - see here. See the Chrome base version of Opera at opera://about/.įor version.
The solution may vary depending on the operating system. Installing chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra for the purpose of playing Vimeo videos (as indicated here) solved for Chromium all the problems I had with both Opera and Chromium (not playing live streams and a lot of other non-live online video): but not for Opera. I have also posted this question: How to tell if an internet video is flash or html5. I am in elementary OS Loki up-to-date, Opera. I know Youtube doesn't involve flash, but in order to debug this in a larger context it may prove usefull to say that the same browsers that do not play live streams in Youtube ( Opera and Chromium) are also affected by a problem where they cannot play (at least) some other (probably flash) internet video streams - while Google Chrome and Firefox are not affected by neither of these problems. Normal (non-live) youtube videos work fine. Opera browser cannot play Youtube streaming videos. I have good reasons to use Opera as my default browser (I find it lighter than Firefox Quantum and Chrome/Chromium, I like its speed-dial bookmarks, as well as other features and details).
