      It's a little weird but I can play and see all the embedded youtube videos from any page. But if I try to see a video directly in youtube only appears a black square in where it supposed the video must be played.

      The only way that I have to see a video in youtube is to change the URL, deleting the "watch?v=" part and writting "embed/" instead.

      For example, if I want to play this video

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04mfKJWDSzI

      I need to modify the URL by this

      http://www.youtube.com/embed/04mfKJWDSzI

      I have this problem only with Opera and only with youtube.

      Anyone have the same problem? Any suggestion to solve it?

      Ubuntu 12.04 @ 64 bits
      Opera 12.15

      Thank you very much 😃

        HTML5 or Flash videos? If you right-click on the video, does the menu include "About Flash ..."?

          If I right-click the black square, the menu that appears is the same that the right-click menu of any other place in the page

            Looks like HTML5 then ... you could try opting out at http://www.youtube.com/html5 and see if that helps.

              Mmm unfortunately nope, I checked that option yesterday and according to youtube I'm not using the HTML5 test mode...

              But only for curiosity I'm going to enable that option, maybe I could see the videos in the HTML5 mode.

              Anyway I'm still open to any advise to fix this problem.
