        Problema youtube 1.jpg

        Problem when trying to watch some YouTube videos.
        It does not open the video, it loads the buffer but when trying to play, the player fails.

        When you deactivate all extensions, the video does not play. The player fails.
        When you open the video in incognito mode, the video does not play. The player fails.
        When you activate Opera VPN, the video does not play. The player fails.

        In addition, the YouTube player issues an error report similar to this: An error has occurred. Try again later. (Playback ID: OXGltQjjpYR797-g)
        More information

        This problem has started a couple of weeks ago, since the last update.

        Opera version for Windows: 67.0.3575.53

        I enclose an image and the link of one of the videos.

        Etc....

        In Google Chrome it works correctly.

                @leocg I think the videos have something in common, that have ratings of viewers over 18 years of age, maybe this has some effect on the error.

                Referred to the operating system, I think that is not the problem since in Google Chrome the videos are seen correctly, and it is used in the same webkit. In addition, it only happens in some videos since the last Opera update. I have been an Opera user since 2002 and it has never happened.

                      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.

                          @burnout426 Its funny how at the end they give you the Option of using Chrome.

                            @Alphablake Of course a Google company would tell you to use a Google browser.

                                @Alphablake By your post at https://forums.opera.com/post/202095, are you saying you tried things in Opera 69 and you still can't play any videos?

                                  Does it help if you refresh the page?
                                  I started experiencing the same problem recently with youtube videos.
                                  But it happens only sometimes, and after refreshing the page video is playing fine.
                                  But I'm using O58. Win 8.1x64

                                  • I don't remember such errors ~2 -3 weeks ago, but now I get these errors not often but regularly, mainly when I opens video from Google search results. Often I see the error and do nothing, after few seconds video starts playing
