Flash video not working in Opera

I just installed my Mac. I downloaded a new copy of Opera. But now websites that use Flash video no longer work.

Example:
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/11533418/omg-what-this-cat-doing-to-its-drowsy-human-is-freaking-weird/
This video won't work. It just gets stuck trying to load.

I have installed Flash from get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. I have also enabled Flash under opera://settings/?search=flash. I have also restarted my computer.

Any help would be appreciated.

The videos all work in Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

@happyduck That page doesn't seem to use Flash. Try disabling the ad-blocker.

@leocg thanks for your help.

I've turned of my ad blocker but it still doesn't work. It's not just that website. Videos on other sites don't work either.

How can I tell if a video is flash or not?

@happyduck Here disabling the ad-blocker worked.
Right click on the video, usually the ones using Flash mention it.

@leocg Thanks for your help.

Funnily enough, it's working on all website now even with the adblock on!

I don't know why that didn't work before. I even tried restarting several times. At least it is fixed now.
