      As the title implies opera 37 will not let videos b6ffer while they play. It is really irritating having a video stop and start while rarely playing through without issue. Ive got hardware acceleration disabled but that did nothing. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

            FF doesn't use Chromium. The ideia is to compare with a Chromium based browser to see if it's a Chromium behaviour.

            BTW, does it happens on all videos? Both Flash based ones and html5 ones?

                Probably a Chromium issue then. Disabling hardware acceleration makes any difference?

                  Not a noticable difference.

                    Any extensions being used? What about anti-virus?

                    Does it happens on all pages?

                      Extensions used are: Ghostery, Ad guard adblocker, FVD video downloader, and ImprovedTube - youtube extension. Anti virus in use is avast free. Aside frome youtube, this issue happens on all pages.

                        Have you tried with extensions disabled? if needed, check also with anti-virus disabled.

                        Are Turbo or VPN enabled?

                          Still happens with everything disabled. I do not use turbo or vpn either.

                            Try a standalone installation of Opera and see if it also happens there.

                              It seems the issue persists in the standalone version as well. Or was I meant to un/reinstall?

                                Nope, just a standalone install was enough.

                                  What I actually did was performed the standalone install over an extisting installation which upgraded opera.

                                    It's better to try to do a clean install.

                                      Even on a fresh install the problem persists.
