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.

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.

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.

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.

Are they all the same version of Windows 7? IE all Home Edition or Professional edition? I've heard some versions of Windows 7 don't have all codecs that the standard versions have.
On an unrelated note, if you have the upgrade for Windows 10 available I would take it. Maybe not today but after the next big round of patches comes out. That will solve your problem. User Classic Shell if you want to keep the old look and feel of Windows 7. 10 is better than 8 but I know some people just don't like it.
works in chrome and firefox
