Follow-up point (specific to Windows):

• The pop-out now appearing as a new Opera window is...double edged? For one, it's easier to find, but also it conflicts with the alt-tabbing history and windows shortcuts.
• Unsure if I'd rather have the old functionality back (floating window as part of the main Opera one), or the new one, or a toggle.

@dhartescu I can confirm that the updated version disables video output to the pop-out window. It appears black.

@johndaruk The fix is the new video pop-out.

i think i know what you mean, but even when i try to use the newer one it just makes the video, and the newly created pop-out go black, is there a fix to this?

@johndaruk I don't know any that would depend only on the user.

By the way, what OS?

@johndaruk Same problem too. The newest Opera version brings frozen or black screen with old PiP player.

And the new one displays a black window too.

Tried with DX11, DX12 and OpenGL drivers, disable / enable acelerated decoding, nothing works.

Any idea ?

A big issue that could probably make me migrate to Firefox, when their new rendering engine will be ready.

That might be fixed in Opera Developer so far. https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-69/#b3630.0.

Thanks. But changing dev channel is a pain in the ass with Opera. Reinsiall, awful sync system (errors, conflicts...), massive configuration to redo (shortcuts config, etc...)

I'll simply wait then.
