your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available
when trying to play some videos on youtube on respect to HTML5. I've seen a couple forums about this, but only about very outdated versions and none are very clear steps. How can I fix this problem?

What does the html5 page of youtube say? youtube.com/html5 Maybe Opera just doesn't support many formats... period.

@Xen2050 it says opera supports HTML5 videos.

There's six different "checkbox" formats on the page for me, plus a 7th for "The HTML5 player is currently used when possible." Do you only see one "checkbox," and which one?

I have a ! mark inH.246and inMSE & H.264, but the HTML checkbox is alright.

For me Chromium has checkmarks in those two H.264 ones, but red!'s for the right two with WebM, Youtube has never complained... Are opera and all the video-related packages updated? There might be an extension/add-on to try asking for different video formats, chromium has some to request H.264, and block 60FPS videos (otherwise it's forced for higher res sometimes, terrible!) but I'm not sure about Opera. Web search found some ideas, I'd might as well post an answer

I had installed opera with the deb package downloadable from (Opera's site)[https://www.opera.com/download] and it did not load HTML 5 videos from youtube. The only solution that worked for me was to uninstall the version I had with:
sudo apt-get remove --purge opera-stable
and then installed the version from the PPA package following this other AskUbuntu post.
Adding a pointer to the opera stable sources:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list'
Install the key:
sudo sh -c 'wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | apt-key add -'
Fetch the new repository:
sudo apt-get update
Install latest Opera with:
sudo apt-get install opera-stable
Now Opera is able to handle HTML5 videos.

From a web search for opera linux enable h.264 I found this answer over on the Unix & Linux SE H.264 support for Opera and openSUSE that suggests trying a few different ideas, but it lead to a more promising looking Opera forum from 4 months ago that might/should work:
burnout426 4 months ago
@drpostman A little bit better directions.
Start Opera, goto, https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/ and download the 0.31.4-linux-x64.zip file. In Opera's download dialog, click the folder icon to show the file in the file manager. Right-click it and choose "Extract here". This will give you
libffmpeg.so.
Right-click in a blank spot in the file manager and choose "open as root" and type in your password. Then, right-click on
libffmpeg.soand choose cut.
Then, in the file manager, browser to "
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/". Right-click in a blank spot and choose to create a new folder namedlib_extra. Once the folder is created, go into it, right-click on a blank spot and choose paste. You should then seelibffmpeg.sothere. Then, restart Opera and goto https://youtube.com/html5 to see if h.264 support is enabled for example. Then, test out some videos. On youtube, you can right-click on a video and choose "stats for nerds" to see if it's using vp9 or h.264. Or, you can try these h.264 videos to make sure they work.
You can then close the file manager.

Others answers that might be worth trying (from the earlier question) include:
- Copy a
libffmpeg.sofile from https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases or http://ppa.launchpad.net/saiarcot895/chromium-beta/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/
- Use the snap version of opera

Then, in the file manager, browser to "

You should then seelibffmpeg.sothere. Then, restart Opera and goto https://youtube.com/html5 to see if h.264 support is enabled for example. Then, test out some videos. On youtube, you can right-click on a video and choose "stats for nerds" to see if it's using vp9 or h.264. Or, you can try these h.264 videos to make sure they work.

What does the html5 page of youtube say? youtube.com/html5 Maybe Opera just doesn't support many formats... period.

@Xen2050 it says opera supports HTML5 videos.

There's six different "checkbox" formats on the page for me, plus a 7th for "The HTML5 player is currently used when possible." Do you only see one "checkbox," and which one?

I have a ! mark in
H.246and inMSE & H.264, but the HTML checkbox is alright.– Gabriel Ziegler

For me Chromium has checkmarks in those two H.264 ones, but red
!'s for the right two with WebM, Youtube has never complained... Are opera and all the video-related packages updated? There might be an extension/add-on to try asking for different video formats, chromium has some to request H.264, and block 60FPS videos (otherwise it's forced for higher res sometimes, terrible!) but I'm not sure about Opera. Web search found some ideas, I'd might as well post an answer– Xen2050
