      @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.
