Certain Videos Do Not Play

I am unable to replicate it. Both sites play the video just fine. You may want to try resetting your browser鈥檚 profile and see if that helps.

I reset the profile and have the same problem.
More information:
When try to play a video on Google photos, it says, "Invalid parameters."
On Twitter, videos (unless from Youtube) and animated .gif gives the message, "The media could not be played."

I am sorry to hear that, brother. Have you tried following the other suggestions from this post?
Are you able to replicate it with Google Chrome or another Chromium browser?I am out of ideas of what it could be right now.

zalex108 last edited byI don't know what's the problem if even happens in a Clean profile but as a workaround, You may uninstall Flash Player, if you don't need it, (those videos works as HTML5 also, as many others).
If you need Flash for a particular site you may use Flash Player into a portable version of Opera (in a different installation).

jimpiersall, you might read this thread, I had a similar problem, solved it with this::

tufuzay,
Thank you for your help. All videos work fine on Chrome, Firefox, and IE.
zalex108,
Thank you as well. Indeed I had the same problem on a clean profile. I tried uninstalling Flash and had the same problem. There was one difference I noticed without Flash. The error message on Google Photos changed to, "This video format is not supported." When I installed Flash again, it went back to "Invalid parameters." It's strange because Google Photos videos look the same as Youtube videos. The MSN video had the same error message both ways.
bbildman,
Thanks. I saw that thread when I was searching for solutions. On Opera 45, I can't find the plug-ins in the settings. It appears to be different than what is described in that thread. I tried using Beta for a while, and still had the problem.

I tried solutions on that "Invalid Parameters" board, and nothing fixed it. I appreciate the suggestions.

Opera: Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabledIt shouldn't make any difference on video playing.
I enabled it and restarted the browser as directed. It did not fix the problem
And does opera://gpu shows that video decode uses hardware acceleration? Also, any error message under "Log Messages'?
