Hi, despite the fact that opera having many cool functions such as adblock and video popout player. It sadly does not even play most videos on other sites apart from YouTube.
I would like to seek for help from anyone who had manage to solve this problem..
As to my understanding, this is based on chromium. However.. Chrome works flawlessly. Whereas for Opera.. well.. everything is good and cool except wanting to watch a video such as (kshowonline.com).

@maginu2 I tried a couple of videos on that site and they played fine here.
What is your OS? Did you try those steps as said on the instructions?

@aztek92 I couldn't find a video on that page.
Same question for you, does it still happen after those steps?

Oh, sorry! I pasted wrong url, anyway - here is gallery of few films/gifs (probably webm format, not sure, cant check): https://kwejk.pl/przegladaj/3140375/0/gify-z-nieoczekiwanym-zakonczeniem.html
(I dont know what's there, dont judge me!)I tried disabling all extansions, default adblocker is always disabled, i tried fresh install (look switching to stable version). Not gonna delete my stuff tho, escpecially now, when i know im not alone with that problem.
Meanwhile i discovered that even not all youtube videos are working. Here's an example:

Same - black screen, audio working fine in background.============
And to be more "official".
Your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows)
Windows 10 1709Your version of Opera
Now Opera 51, stable channel. Meet issue before on Opera 52 Dev. Opera 50 stable worked fine till update.If the problem is with a page, a link to it
Examples above.A screen-shot of the problem if it's related to something not showing as should
AboveSteps to (try to) reproduce the issue
Simply using Opera. -

I disabled hardware acceleration in settings - bingo, videos works fine like that. So it has to be somehow broken in last updates. Btw i also noticed that Opera's offline pages (like opera://settings or feed) works REALLY slow. Scrolling is taking some time - can be somehow connected?
So, about logs. When hardware acceleration is on, there are some errors:

GpuProcessHostUIShim: The GPU process exited normally. Everything is okay.Maybe full log will help devs. I can't save page (oh irony the msg on the top of opera://gpu), so the best way is probably send is as a printable pdf.

It's kinda offtop, but there is a note.
Note: To properly save this page, select the "Webpage, Complete" option in the Save File dialog.
The thing is you cannot save it.Btw. thats completely other issue, but i will take an opportunity and ask.

Does the site work on your Opera? Other browsers work fine for me. -

@leocg That's yet another issue i'm struggling with Opera. For now that's the only site i noticed, that doesn't work for no particular reason.
Translation: Server support.microsoft.com didn't send any dataYou can spot a redirect plugin on screenshot few posts above, but it has nothing to do with it. On "clean" Opera i have same problem. Other browsers work fine.
Sorry for spaming thread with problems other than video, i just have so many of them i don't see point in making new thread for each one.

@aztek92 The idea of creating separated topics for different problems not directly related to each other is to avoid turning the topic into something generalist, with several subjects being discussed on it and bringing confusion specially for those trying to help and also the ones looking for help.

@leocg Im on Win10, using MS Defender. It would make no sense MS to block their own website (also other browsers can open it). I didnt mess with firewall either.
Anyway - there is still no official fix for video problem or really slow system tabs (settings, news feed), even on Dev version. Luckly i found solution, it can be downloaded here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
