Description Francois Chenier 2022-06-14 23:30:38 UTC

I know Gentoo want to keep the latest version of browser for security reason but it should be nice to keep at least one fully working version in the tree. Due to outdated ffmpeg.so library, video streams don't play in all Opera 88 ebuilds.

opera-ffmpeg-codecs-100.0.4896.20.tar.xz (which is downloaded when installing Opera 88) works only for Opera 87 ebuild.

To fix my issue I had to wack an ebuild and modify it to install Opera 87. 

It should be nice to restore (even masked) the latest Opera 87 ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just install opera 88 and try to play your favorite youtube video ;-)
