my OS supports h.264 videos in chrome are playing fine...

Chrome has a built in h.264 renderer. It is not using one from your OS. Google has the money to spend on a license, and are perfectly okay with losing money on their web browsers (which they are). Opera does not have that option and since you are using a version of Windows that is 9 years old or older you don't have the standing to complain about it being '2016 still no native h264 support." Upgrade your OS and it will fix the problem.

If you mean Opera not relying on the OS to play h264 videos, I guess it will never happen.

If I right clicked on the same video in Firefox 29, a menu came up relating to the DivX Web Player plugin, but from what you say that could be a Firefox configuration issue.

The reason why Opera does not support MP4 up until its latest stable versions is well-known.

I'm not sure about the DivX Web Player. Is it being used at all by Chrome and Firefox? They could be playing it natively without using the plug-in you mentioned as both support MP4 in some form.

Won't play in Opera 12.17 or 24 though.
The player appears but is inactive.

Hint: if you right-click the player, select inspect element and expand the highlighted element you can check that with ease.

I've done some tests now and the videos are working and showing many resolutions available in WebM. I'll contact Opera to ask if they can remove the browser.js patch.

What is that issue exactly?
http://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2013/12/youtube-is-back/

The issue is YouTube isn't serving the right video codec for Opera. (Or "wasn't" in past, 'cause I haven't disabled browser.js to test recently.)

Yeo, when the issue with html5 videos is fixed.
And the issue is on YouTube's side, don't forget that.

I use Keepvid.com if I want to download a video from Youtube. Either because my internet is lagging or if I need to take it to another computer. Like voessli, I used to be able to grab the temp file after loading the video, but now that it's broken up for streaming, it's nearly impossible to do that.

@jito463 Use the extension I post here and you will be able to download videos

Opera better start supporting H264, even Firefox is doing that nowadays. Now only Opera and IE8 can't play that format, and when IE8 finally retires...
As for Youtube, they were blocking Opera so now Opera forces the Flash player.

what? IE8? why you dont ask opera 5 support H264
