New Opera does not support HLS

Recently, websites changed streaming to HLS, but unfortunately Opera does not support yet this protocol.

Example: videos from this page: Știri de ultimă oră, știri online - ProTV

When I try to open a video, I get this message: „Opera a crăpat...” ("Page crashed..."), and page crashes. I mention that I have no extension installed, so there is no possible conflict.

Currently I'm running Opera 36.0.2130.65, but I tried also Opera developer (36.0.2129.0), with same result.

There is any chance to support HLS in the near future?

Thank you.

Opera 36? I must presume you run XP or Vista then?

Yes, Vista Home Premium x64.

There is an updated version for Vista, though I would doubt it does anything about your issue.

I'm told you can get it from the download page. but I know it is also on the FTP site.

I just tested this unofficial version (36.0.2130.75). You are right, it doesn't solve the problem.
