    Discontinued FFmpeg prebuilt binaries for NW.js / Chromium [Moved to: https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt] (by iteufel)

  • Note though, that when your Opera upgrades, if the new version uses a new major version of Chromium, you'll have to repeat these steps and replace lib_extra/libffmpeg.so with a newer one that's compatible with the new major version of Opera. This of course means too that if you have Opera Beta and Opera Developer, they're going to need their own libffmpeg.so versions in there lib_extra folders in their install directories. opera_beta_install_folder/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so and opera_developer_install_folder/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so for example. If you can't find versions of libffmpeg for Opera Beta and Opera Developer at https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/, you'll have to look elsewhere for versions that match the higher major versions of Chromium they use.

  • HTML5test

    Discontinued How well does your browser support HTML5?

  • To test to make sure the libffmpeg.so you got is working, start Opera and goto https://html5test.com/. Make sure h.264 is listed as supported under the Video section. Make sure AAC is listed as supported under the Audio section. Make sure they're both supported on the video and audio codec sections in the Streaming section.
