Floating media player in Opera 117
-
MrTeatime last edited byHi everyone,
I read on Opera’s official pages that it’s possible to move the media player between panels or even detach it as a separate window. However, in Opera 117 this option doesn’t seem to work on my system. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Was this functionality intentionally disabled, or could it be a temporary bug?Looking forward to your feedback and any insights from the team or fellow users.
Thanks in advance!

@MrTeatime It seems that the #miniplayer-in-toolbar flag should be enabled to pin the player to toolbar (if you mean this).

@MrTeatime While it sounds you should see the miniplayer in the sidebar. So the miniplayer can be moved or pinned to the toolbar.

Opera 117 media player detaching isn't working for you? Likely a bug or undocumented change.
Troubleshooting:
-Update Opera.
-Test in a clean profile.
-Check Opera forums/bug tracker.
-Report the bug.
-Check Opera GX.
