Works here too. Have you disabled encrypted media extensions in opera://flags/ ?

Thanks for checking guys.
I've just checked "Encrypted Media Extensions (EME)" in the flags and it's set to "Default (enabled)", so looks like that's not the problem.
This is the only site that I have this problem playing videos on, other sites such as Youtube work just fine.
In the flags I have the following:
Disable Media Source API
Disable Encrypted Media Extensions
Disable prefixed Encrypted Media ExtensionsAll of these have "Enable" buttons under them, so I assume that these settings are currently disabled? So if a "Disable" flag is disabled, does that mean the setting is enabled? (seems to be a double negative here!)

They are enabled, if there's enable button under them. It's kinda weird, but makes sense. If you click the enable button, then they are disabled, because then you enable disable function. :rolleyes:
Oh forgot, There's also problem with some videos, if "click-to-play" for extensions is set in Opera settings. Some vids won't start to play with click-to-play option.

I tried your link and the videos, initially, would not play. I remembered Opera Turbo was enabled. After disabling, the videos played normally. There are other videos that will not play nice with Opera, turning off turbo just happened to work here.

I checked and I don't have Opera Turbo turned on. Just to be sure I turned it on and then back off, the videos still won't play.

I tried Opera on my desktop PC and the videos work fine on there, so it must be something to do with my settings on my netbook.
If I reinstall Opera will it keep all my bookmarks, passwords and form-filling entries?

They use the same OS? Opera relies on the OS to play some videos.
No, the one that plays videos ok is still running Windows XP, the one that won't play videos is running Windows 7. It's only one site that I've found that it won't play videos on, and that's stuff.co.nz

Do you have turbo or/and "click to play" enabled by chance?

Leo, he said he tried Turbo.
I guess in these "new and shiny" Windowses some mediapacks are missing. Or at least...
Try comparing those packs and stuff on both systems. Perhaps you might need to find that missing gear somehow...You said "won't play": what does it show instead? Do you have an active frame/object there? Is there any context menu available in that area? Does it say something? Same stuff or varies?

I tried that, it made no difference (but thanks for the suggestion).

Turbo is turned off. Click to Play is also off (it's set to "Run all plug-in content (recommended)").

I suppose my netbook might be missing a video codec, but the videos play ok in Chrome so I don't think it would be a missing codec.

Chrome doesn't rely on the OS to play videos, it uses its own library afaik.
What does opera://media-internals/ says when you try to load the video?

There might be something changed in opera://flags/ You can try reset all options to default values. There's a button for that in the right upper corner.
Also, you can try disabling all the browser add-ons/extensions, such as ad-blockers etc.
