Thank you to all involved in helping to resolve this video playback issue..

The latest
Opera
Version: 64.0.3417.61

is now streaming Netflix, and Amazon Prime videos and doing well with other videos I had issues with, even before the 64.* update.

Also, I was making the mistake of not exiting and restarting Opera after running the terminal command:

defaults write com.operasoftware.Opera OPDisableAutoUpdate true

or

defaults write com.operasoftware.Opera OPDisableAutoUpdate false

So that was fun to learn as well.

@burberrys Maybe you just need to replace true with false?

I also just exited so the update can be turned on again. Thank you and for the updates!

@burberrys Yes it's what @leocg suggested, just replace true with false

Just to be completely clear, many of you mentioned it already but an update with a fix for this issue was released yesterday. You can see the full changelog at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/10/opera-64-0-3417-61-stable-update/ .

Hello all. I can now stream netflix and prime video but I am still having the problem that the film cuts in half and then switches sides in fullscreen. Anyone else have this problem? I can't attach a screenshot because as soon as you press any keys it goes back to normal for about 5 seconds.

@atls After updating to the latest Opera 64.0.3417.61, Prime and Netflix work fine in my system (OS Catalina). I can watch fullscreen in both of them with no issues.

@atls it's probably better if you open a new thread for this, it's not related to the problem described in this thread so far. For those interested, that problem was due to a problem with the Widevine DRM plugin, which is used by e.g. Netflix and Amazon Prime to protect their content, but not by YouTube.
