NBCNEWS Videos Do Not Play

Yes, Opera uses the PPAPI Flash. Chrome recently dropped NPAPI plugin support. So you probably only have three supported plugins - the internal PDF plugin, Flash and the widevine content decryption module.
Yup, that's what I have...so that clears THAT up, now only to find or just why O38 will not play NBSNEWS videos.

I checked my plugins and I have three and I have not uninstalled any. Do you know the name of what these other plugins that you had installed were?

3 I opened opera://media-internals/ and got this result under "Players" after reloading the NBCNEWS site and got this::
"Players
None"That's interesting. If i disable Flash, i got a eternal "loading" spin for that video but if enable Flash then the video plays fine.
However, if you right click on it you will not see any Flash info.Do you have Turbo enabled by chance?
4 Loaded opera://gpu/ and got this, no clue as to how this affects my problem::
Only thing I've noticed was the lack of hardware acceleration but i don't know if it could cause the issue.

#1 Disabling Flash gives me the same screen on NBCNEWS, the initial image from the Video with the Play button in the middle, which does not respond. Enabling Flash does exactly the same thing, as if the image is simply an image (photo) and not an entry point for a video to play. When I hover my mouse over the image, it does change into the familiar "pointing hand" but has no effect.
#2 Right clicking on the image offers the usual "Save Image, Copy Image, etc" - no indication that it is hovering on top of a video file.
#3 have no idea how to address "hardware acceleration" - my system uses the Intel Media chip and hardware acceleration cannot be turned off or on.
Still totally perplexed. This issue has been with me for MANY iterations of Opera Blink, when I try this site using Opera 12.17, I get this::
There is only the play button on a black image, with the flowing notes above it::
"NBC News works best with JavaScript turned on
Sorry, this video needs JavaScript turned on"
Internet Explorer 11 definitely plays the video.
I have tried switching the user agent to EVERY possibility, and noting works.
I REALLY want to find out what is going on, as I cannot watch ANY videos from the NBCNEWS site, and all videos from all other sites I visit work perfectly.
Any help appreciated.

Settings > Browser.
Turbo is disabled.
I have hardware acceleration disabled, but in the interest of searching for a clue, I turned it on and got the same result, no video, clicking on the play button does absolutely nothing, not even anything that would indicate the click was received by their server. it's as if this were a still image.
I clicked on NBNEWS "Top Videos" on their home page, got here::
And clicked on a random video::
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/what-heat-dome-everything-you-need-know-n614176
Same result, NONE of the NBCNEWS videos play.

This one plays fine - in Flash - here. Yours appears to be HTML5 rather than Flash.
That one also does not play on my system with O 38.0.2220.41, Windows 7.
Right clicking on it shows it to be interpreted as an image, not a video
Am I the only one who is having this problem?? All the rest of the folks reading this thread can watch the video??

With hardware acceleration enabled, check opera://gpu again for any suspect message and also try again to check opera://media-internals/ while trying to watch the videos.
What are your settings for plug-ins in Settings > Websites > Plug-ins?

Leo, with hardware acceleration enabled, still says No Players with opera://media-internals/
in opera://gpu, what would be a "suspect message?"
I get this under Command Line Arguments::
"Opera\38.0.2220.41\opera.exe" -noautoupdate --ran-launcher --system-dpi-setting=96 --alt-high-dpi-setting=96 --flag-switches-begin --disable-gesture-requirement-for-media-playback --enable-autofill-ignore-autocomplete-off --with-feature:hi-resolution-thumbnails --with-feature:hidpi-speed-dial-tiles --with-feature:personalized-news-start-page --save-page-as-mhtml --show-autofill-type-predictions --flag-switches-end --disable-direct-npapi-requests --use-turbo2 -- http://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/what-heat-dome-everything-you-need-know-n614176"
And these at the tope of the opera://gpu page::
