Videos not playing in Chrome or Opera
I recently installed Opera and Chrome again on Ubuntu, but video players on sites will not work...but do work on Firefox
It will look like this, but with the audio working fine.
If I pop it out however, it works fine at least for Opera.
It's not just Youtube, this video doesn't work either.
I also figured out that non-HTML5 videos such as this work though.
Any help? Thanks.
EDIT Disabling HTML5 video for Youtube on Chrome fixed the problem, but still kind of a half solution.

Just install ffmpeg codecs for Chromium:
sudo apt install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
This should fix playing HTML5 videos in Chromium and all its derivates (Opera, Vivaldi).
