Opera 37 not buffering videos

As the title implies opera 37 will not let videos b6ffer while they play. It is really irritating having a video stop and start while rarely playing through without issue. Ive got hardware acceleration disabled but that did nothing. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

FF doesn't use Chromium. The ideia is to compare with a Chromium based browser to see if it's a Chromium behaviour.

BTW, does it happens on all videos? Both Flash based ones and html5 ones?

The same issue happens with chrome as well and it doesnt matter if its html5 or flash

Probably a Chromium issue then. Disabling hardware acceleration makes any difference?

Not a noticable difference.

Any extensions being used? What about anti-virus?

Does it happens on all pages?

Extensions used are: Ghostery, Ad guard adblocker, FVD video downloader, and ImprovedTube - youtube extension. Anti virus in use is avast free. Aside frome youtube, this issue happens on all pages.

Have you tried with extensions disabled? if needed, check also with anti-virus disabled.

Are Turbo or VPN enabled?

Still happens with everything disabled. I do not use turbo or vpn either.

Try a standalone installation of Opera and see if it also happens there.

It seems the issue persists in the standalone version as well. Or was I meant to un/reinstall?

Nope, just a standalone install was enough.

What I actually did was performed the standalone install over an extisting installation which upgraded opera.

It's better to try to do a clean install.

Even on a fresh install the problem persists.
