Can't get Instagram or Vine videos to play in Opera

I've been using Opera browser recently and I'm having trouble getting videos to play in the browser from Instagram and Vine. It would appear I have no h264 support. I read online that I need to install pepperflash-nonfree but I can't seem to find it in any repository. Has anyone else been able to solve this video problem with Opera? Thanks.

It is in the Debian repos

$ apt-cache search pepperflash
pepperflashplugin-nonfree - Pepper Flash Player - browser plugin
browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash - PPAPI-host NPAPI-plugin adapter for pepperflash

Don't forget you can do Menu -> Help -> Debian -> Package Search to find packages wink

Make sure you have `contrib` enabled in your sources, and do

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Aha. I found it now. I installed but it doesn't seem to fix my issue. Here's an example video: https://www.instagram.com/p/BE2Qy4Cs9QF/
I may have to go back to Chrome I suppose. It's not the end of the world but enough to not make me want to use a browser if I can't view video correctly.
