As far as I know, Facebook uses HTML5.

Try checking opera://media-internals/ to see if it shows any error message that can indicate you what is happening.

Videos in other places work?

@leocg I checked opera://media-internals/ but it is too cryptic for me. I don't know where to find a relevant information... And yes, some other sites have the same problem...

Just a precision, the current problem happens in Messenger Facebook page...

What GPU do you have? Is it an AMD?

What happens if you disable hardware acceleration in settings? Do videos start playing fine then? If so, you can turn hardware acceleration back on and modify Opera's shortcut to pass this setting to launcher.exe to see if that does the trick.

GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics
Hardware acceleration doesn't change anything.

@jfhicter Okay. Go to opera://flags and reset any that you modified back to "default". Modify Opera's shortcut again. This time just try --disable-software-rasterizer to see if it helps. (This is based on a hunch from a recent Chrome bug I saw.)

What version? HD 2000, 3000, 4000 or something newer?

What OS?

What does https://www.youtube.com/html5 report?

Okay.

Windows Key + R -> type devmgmt.msc and press enter. Then, look under "Display adapters". If you have to, double-left-click the GPU there and switch to the "Drivers" tab to get more info.

In a regular tab at messenger.com or in the messenger app in the sidebar?

Your youtube stuff looks fine at least. Do you have any adblocking turned on for messenger.com and or facebook.com

Start Opera and try to play a problem video. Then, open opera://media-internals. You'll then see a little box for the player in question. If you click it, it'll expand and show you details. In the Player Properties table, it should tell you what type of video is trying to play and you should see a mention of an error or failure somewhere in the table. You could just screenshot that table if it's easier.

Also, update to Opera 56 and see if things are better.

Can you go to "Details, switch to "hardware id" and post that? That can be looked up on Google and such to find it. Of course, if you know your processor model number.

The particular driver you have covers some old Intel GPUs, but not sure about some slightly newer ones.

Point being, you might be able to go to https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/Graphics-Drivers, change the view by product drop-down and find a newer driver for your GPU just to see if it makes a difference. And, with Hardware acceleration on, turning on opera://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist just to test if it works is something to try.

There's also a new version of Opera out, so make sure you're updated to 56.

I did the "update test" and all my drivers are ok...

Sure. It doesn't help...

Reminder: it is an Opera issue, because all works with Chrome...

Thanks for your hep, man!

Oh, indeed. Just wondering if Opera is blacklisting your GPU or something and Chrome is not. I assume the blacklist is the same. But, I think it's possible for Opera to have a a different blacklist. Maybe opera://gpu will reveal something.

@jfhicter said in Facebook videos issue:

opera://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist

Did you try that?

Close Opera and open a command prompt and:

cd "C:\Program Files\Opera"

Then, try these different things (closing Opera after each test on Facebook):

launcher.exe --disable-gpu

launcher.exe --disable-gpu-sandbox

launcher.exe --ignore-gpu-blacklist --disable-gpu-sandbox

launcher.exe --override-use-software-gl-for-tests

launcher.exe --disable-accelerated-video-decode

Before testing though, go back to opera://flags and reset all the flags to default, just for good measure.

Facebook videos in facebook.com work fine though? It is indeed just in messenger? If so, try again with this extension.

You can also hit ctrl + shift + i after trying to play a video and got to the console tab to see if there are any errors. Compare to Chrome to see if there are any differences.

Man, I thank you very much for your efforts, but it starts to become too geeky for me! If you wants to help me further maybe u could use TeamViewer and check my computer... you can join me at [email hidden]
