Opera can't play most videos on twitter, it started a while ago and can't figure out a solution. It just shows a loading spinner forever.

What Opera version is shown at the URL opera://about?

What version of Windows? Is it an "N" edition of Windows?

Do things work in a private window?

With all you extensions disabled?

What does https://html5test.opensuse.org/ say for h.264 video and aac audio support?

Since it works in a private window, you probably just need to clear "cached images and files" for all time at the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData.

If that alone doesn't work, you might have to goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type twitter.com in the search field and choose "Deleted displayed data".

If that doesn't do the trick, you might have to clear "cookies and other site data" for all sites at the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData.

Could be Opera's adblocking and tracking protection interfering too if you have that on. Same with Opera's built-in VPN.

@burnout426 It turned out it's related to x's data saver setting. I disabled it and now it works fine.
Thank you anyway .
