Just wondering why the video here does not play in Opera beta 30.0.1835.49 as it does in other Chromium-based browsers: http://shoebat.com/2015/06/03/breaking-cnn-reports-pamela-geller-target-of-beheading-attack-then-asks-her-if-she-relishes-being-the-target/

Thank you.

The video plays here on both Opera beta 30 and developer 31 running on Windows 10.

Does it works if you open it in a private window?

No, it does not work in a Private Window, either. I'm running Windows 7.

I finally just "viewed the page source" via right-clicking the page and hunted for the URL to the video. I copied and pasted the video URL into a new tab, and the video plays fine. The URL discovered in the page source is https://d2ha22j8ys3e0o.cloudfront.net/vmplayer/player.swf?video_id=2421779&domain=vid.me&c=597-1-8-17-2 .

Maybe something is blocking the video on that page? Do you use any kind of flash blocker, adblocker?

Also, do you have ppapi flash installed?

Btw, as i said on the blog, here the video plays using html5 and not flash.

I am not using any ad blockers or flash blockers. I do have ppapi flash installed.
