Works fine for me in Opera with
http://www.bbc.com:80as an exception. Works fine without any exception if Flash is set to "Allow sites to run Flash" in settings instead of the default of "Ask first". -

@leocg Ok, I assumed that if Opera is telling me to use Adobe flash, then that is what I should use. So, which flash should I use? secondly, how do I remove adobe flash from opera?

@vincej1657 Adobe Flash is the only Flash but there are different versions of it and the one that works in a browser may not work in others. So there is a version for IE/Edge, one for Firefox, another one for Chromium based browsers like Opera and so on.
Try download in Flash from this page and then install it.
Opera uses the Flash installed on your system, as long as it is the correct version, so there is nothing to be removed from Opera.

@leocg That was the flash version I downloaded the first time. BUT, nevertheless, I downloaded it and installed it again, and again it does not work.
However - when I right click on the error notice I see "Error 8005". Any ideas what that means? Should I install PPAPI Flash?
I can confirm however that this video runs fine inside Chrome and Edge.
Thanks.

Confirm. I have this problem too. It's happens after last opera update.
I was fix it by disable hardware acceleration in settings.
But i think it's not right, because now I have freezes in flash videos.
If hardware acceleration is enabled - i hear sound, but I see black screen instead of video.
I'm was try to update and reinstall flash player, but it don't help me. -

@acmanich Could you give more details on your system
if disabling hardware accel "fixes it" It may be bad drivers

If you see this, means ya took to long to do step 1 & 2
just reload page again and repeat step 1 & 2... except do it a lil faster..

@nvmjustagirl Thank you for your detailed answer. From the outset, I have allowed Flash to run on sites. Your intermediate step "Click to enable Adobe ...." does not exist on my PC. It goes immediately to "Sorry you need Flash ... "
I have done to the link provided and downloaded Flash. I am assuming that it was installed into the correct place. How can I check if it is installed correctly?

Flash Player is coded to install to -
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash (on 32-bit systems)C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit systems)
File name in flash folder called - FlashUtil32_28_0_0_161_pepper.exe
Mines probally older version.. but still works with BBC.com
