      @leocg It's so sad...

      Adding new features is a right way...
      only if you can keep good parts from the past.

      I believe that people from Opera can fix it.
      Furthermore, opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers is broken now and must be fixed anyway.

        @molenin It will be removed sooner or later like other flags.

          I have the same problem but enabling this flag changed nothing. Is there something else I have to check?

              @nvmjustagirl thanks for the quik answer:)
              Since I've updated Opera to version 67.0.3575.53 the Pop-Out player doesen't work anymore.
              That means when the flag is disabled (like it has to be in the older Versions) and I press the button to pop out the Window the old Window pops up but frezzes shortly after that, the main Window (e.g. Youtube player) works properly.photo5420583009607855599.jpg

              When the flag ist set on Default or Enabeld (like you said it should be) and I press the button to pop out the Window a black Window pops out in the right corner of the screen and the main Window turns black aswell but the Video contiues (I think so because the sound is still there).photo5418106668903935725.jpg.

              I hope you have enough information to solve the problem.

                @oelmensch i had older version but moved up to 67.0.3575.53..

                works fine here in win 10

                what windows ya got..

                your 1st pic is right as to the way ya discribe it.. for old style

                but 2nd pic should show video too besides just the sound

                ya could try a new profile..

                  I have to use 66.0.3515.115 for now with disabled autoupdate.

                  It's my solution for now.

                      @oelmensch i would hold tight for now.. seems like sync is causig sum troubles in version 67xx.. do ya use sync.. try pip w/o sync..

                      try pip in a private window.. see if it gives sound and video

                      and looks like peeps on win 7 have video troubles too.. *just say 'n..

                        @oelmensch looks like Opera stable 67.0.3575.79 has fixed sum video issues.. try updating to that version..

                        after update pip should work for ya..

                        if not disable n e Extension ya have then try pip (aka Video Pop-Out) again..

                          Updating to the new version seems to change nothing 😞 I'm running in the same problems as I did in the older version. By the way I'm using Windows 10. Do you have any other ideas or should I just hope that it'll be fixed anytime soon?

                              @oelmensch I found the solution there! I enable -Override software rendering list- and disable -Use surface layers in Video Pop-out-

                              it seems works fine on youtube and other streaming sites!

                                @molenin Volume change is already available in Opera developer 68, so it's just a matter of time for it to reach stable channel.

                                  @hrfast The volume control isn't a main problem. It's ugly overall copared with original pop-out. I don't like shadow upon mouse over, I want to see fullscreen and small screen at the same time...

                                      @oelmensch It doesn't work.
                                      I made a try in the Opera Developer: 69.0.3630.0.

                                      OldStyle Pop-Out.
                                      opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers: Disable
                                      Black pop-out window, video is in the main window.

                                      New style shit.
                                      opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers: Enable
                                      Black main window, video is in the pop-out window.

                                      Do nothing at all:
                                      --disable-gpu-compositing
                                      --disable-direct-composition-layers
                                      --disable-direct-composition

                                        am glad ya got things work 'n..

                                        but am confused and i do not mean to despute what ya said -

                                        ya said this that ya - (disabled -Use surface layers in Video Pop-out)
                                        What version of opera did ya disabled this flag in.. *just ask'n..

                                        the reason i ask is i think version 66.0.3515.115 was last version for the old style pip was working..

                                        if ya disable that flag in the newer version of opera the (Video Pop-out)
                                        will be black and non work 'n except for sound perhaps..

                                        if ya set the flag @ (default or Enabled) ya get the new (Video Pop-out)..

                                        if ya got the old style PIP work 'n in the latest opera version do tell and show how.. *thankyou in advance..

                                          Same Problem without solution... the new Pop-Out Style is really shit...

                                          I don't understand why they deleted the old style and didn't make it freely selectable...

                                          Is there a way to deactivate the autoupdate so that I can use a older version with the old style where it still works properly?

                                            @Sart It was already explained why the change had to be made. Regarding autoupdate, check the FAQ.
