      I'm using the Opera Dev. browser version 45.0.2548.0 (PGO) on a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit laptop. I'm in the United States and set the VPN to Canada to watch http://watch.cbc.ca/canada--the-story-of-us/-/episode-1/38e815a-00beb574afc. Video is no problem and of course I can heard the commercials without problem. However, the show's audio doesn't play.

      Is this a bug in the Opera browser, or something on the CBC side that needs to be overcome?

      Thanks!

        opera://media-internals/ lists no audio track for that video. If I add watch.cbc.ca as an exception for Flash in Settings, the sound plays.

          I added watch.cbc.ca and [*.]watch.cbc.ca to the exceptions for Flash settings, but no luck with the sound. I then tried "Allow sites to run flash", "detect and run ....", and "click to play" options. Each time, I closed Opera and reran it then accessed the link in questions. Again, no luck getting sound. Am I missing a setting?

          I did run opera://media-internals with the CBC site running. Under Players, I click on "blob:http:/watch.cbc.ca/0f64e37...." which showed:
          render_id: 24
          player_id: 1
          pipeline_state: kStopped
          event: WEBMEDIAPLAYER_DESTROYED

          Any ideas?

            I think you don't have to close / open Opera.

            I've checked "Detect and run important flash content" and worked fine, just reloading the page.

              I've just installed Opera on my work computer (Windows 7 32-bit), enabled VPN and set it for Canada. Added [*.]watch.cbc.ca to the Flash settings exceptions and checked "Detect and run important flash content".

              Unfortunately, when I ran the link in a new tab, I still have no sound ... unless a commercial plays.

                I'm not sure why, but I tried to play this site again using the latest Opera and I had video with sound this time. I tried over the past couple of days and everything worked consistently.
