Using youtube consumes a lot of resources, even in 480p with a 12 minute video. any ideas?

@albano23 What would be "a lot of resources"?

@leocg In resources I mean CPU, almost 57 percent and in some moments over 100%, this does not happen with this version but it comes with the whole 104 series. In fact I want to watch videos in 1080p, and I have to download them. And that I have 32 ram, and intel 7-7700.

I think this should be reviewed, I do not even want to think about those who have an intel 5 or 3.

@albano23 Is hardware acceleration enabled?

@leocg yes it is active, but it says it only uses it when available

@albano23 And the first section of opera://gpu says that hardware acceleration is being used?

@albano23 OK, seems normal.

Maybe the videos are using a codec that is not hardware accelerated?

@leocg I do not know, the only thing I can tell you, is that they are 1080 videos or that you can put 1080, but I do not know if they use hardware acceleration, because as you can see, everything is normal in the data that I have sent you and I have been commenting. It is also true that I do not know where to look at the hardware acceleration in these videos.

@albano23 Right click on the video and check Statistics for Nerds. There you will see the codec used

Where the codec fixes for Opera on Linux? I got flatpak version and there still no fixes. Currently using Fedora at the moment and i cannot read streams or videos on most platforms. Most people think is the H264 issue.

105.0.4970.13 is now available for download and installation, FWIW, no thread about it yet.

@xb70 I manually downloaded and installed it on one Windows 10/64 computer without issue, wrt migration loss of personalization. Another pending....

@wolfshards: I also have Chromium and/or Vivaldi installed (Chromium for shopping using a cashback site, which needs to track visits, so I have no privacy protection installed).

The codec in Chromium is at /usr/lib/chromium/libffmpegDOTso

As Root create a subdirectory lib_extra at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/ and copy Chromium's libffmpegDOTso into it.

Re-start Opera and videos at Twitter etc should now work.

More details, with a link to downloadable versions of libffmpegDOTso available at:
