      No extensions, cleared cache, no change.

      OS is Windows 7 Pro 64bit with SP1 (and all the other OS updates).

      Opera is version 31.0.1889.174.

      The same videos work in Chrome and Firefox.

        My Opera's up to date, buuuuut I'm still using Windows Vista...

        Opera needs Windows 7 or higher to play patent-encumbered media (MP4 with H.264, MP3...)

        OS is Windows 7 Pro 64bit with SP1 (and all the other OS updates).

        Then I'm not sure what has been causing this for you. Is it the N version perhaps?

              Any solution?

              Happens on both my laptops, Win7 on one and Win10 on the other, updated Opera 31 on both laptops but some embedded HTML5 videos, FaceBook, news sites is just showing a black box.
              Youtube is working though...

                As has been said, you need to have a codec installed in your system to play these types of videos. Download a free codec from somewhere and install it.

                    Ah yes and unspecified codec from "somewhere"

                    Very helpful! Thank you.

                      Sure, let me get my spoon out so I can feed it to you. No, no, don't try and google search for it yourself, you might pull a muscle. Open your mouth wide...

                        I do in fact have ffdshow installed.

                        But thanks for the spooning, it was fun.

                          Any other ideas you want to spoonfeed me? I'm all mouth.

                            So these videos are still busted for me in version 32.0.1948.69

                            The video in my first post works in Chrome, Firefox and IE11(!) too.

                                  So an interesting wrinkle to this issue is that SOME videos on twitter do work.

                                  This one for instance does, however the one in my original post still does NOT work on my laptop.

                                    Here's another example of a video that does NOT work.

                                      All the videos you say don't work still work just fine for me. Its all down to what codecs are installed on your system. Twitter does not use the same codec for all of its videos.

                                        Afaik Opera relies on native OS codecs to play those videos, it will not use other codecs the user have installed.

                                            Interesting. Any idea on why these videos work on my other Windows 7 computers and not this one? Drivers and OS are up to date btw.
