      @lemontespan said in Unable to play video:

      windows seven

      Do you have an "N" edition of Windows 7?

      What does https://html5test.com/ say for h.264 support and aac support?

      Does the video at https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm play and what's it say for MSE and EME under the video?

          Goto the URL opera://settings/system, turn off hardware acceleration, restart Opera and try again.

                All looks good. Test with a fresh profile. Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser", and install.

                Test in that Opera, but do not enable Opera Sync, do not enable Opera's adblocker, do not install any extensions, and do not enable Opera's VPN.

                Does it work fine there at least?

                  Nothing changes

                  • I could read all the videos before the last two OPERA updates.
                  • I can read these videos on CHROME
                  • This bug has been reported
                  • I hope that the developers will solve this problem so that we can continue to use OPERA in the future because I really like OPERA

                    Ok. The videos play fine for me in Opera 67.0.3575.31 64-bit on Windows 10. Might be something limited to Win 7.

                            There are still a lot of Internet users who own Windows 7 though!

                                  Just to make sure it's not a browser detection problem:

                                  Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the install path. Then, close Opera.

                                  Open a command prompt and enter this command:

                                  "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.122 Safari/537.36"
                                  

                                  (adjust path to your launcher.exe)

                                  Then try things the videos.

                                    There are some video and audio fixes in general and for Win7 in Opera Developer 69.0.3623.0 at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2020/03/opera-69-0-3623-0-developer-update/ if you want to test before they reach beta and stable.
