I think this is the same issue: https://forums.opera.com/post/182606

EDIT: I can also confirm that this still happens on the latest Opera Developer release (66.0.3475.0).

@avl said in Video freezes or even doesn't start:

Can you give an example of a site on which video freezes?

Sure, for example: www.sadistic.pl

@avl I have the same issue. It started after updating opera and my mac on the same day.

It's happening on sites like

• IMDB where the video starts then freezes and then you see : This video file cannot be played.
  (Error Code: 224002) .

• Tumblr where the video disappears as soon as I try to play it.

• On instagram the video starts playing then stops.

• It's also happening on various streaming websites, such as Vidtodo where the video does not play at all and it says The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.

Would love some help! thanks. The videos are playing fine on Safari, but I usually prefer Opera and would like to keep using it.

Hi guys, and what if you enable the opera://flags/#ffmpeg-demuxer-everywhere, and restart the Opera, does it help?

Hi @matt616, nice to hear that, but enabling or disabling works?

It was disabled by default for the version of Opera that I was using, so I selected enable and that worked for me.
