<![CDATA[Videos won't play on certain websites]]>Hi.....

I have a problem and it's really spoiling my enjoyment of Opera!!!! I've used Opera for 15 years now and never had this problem until recently.

The embedded videos in certain websites, amongst them IMDB and The Daily Mail websites, do not play and in fact give error messages. The Imdb websites give an "Sorry, this video is unsupported on this browser" error

The Daily Mail site gives an "The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported" error. The same pages and videos load without problems in all other major browsers.

I just can't seem to rectify it and so I thought I'd ask here if any one has any solutions.

Thanks for any help......

Steven

It's got me stumped....

Links include

Both videos played fine here. I'm also on Windows 10.

Although I have just discovered something very strange in that if I right click on the video and cclick "open in new tab" the video WILL play in the newly opened tab perfectly....

In this case, something may be blocking the video to play on the page.

Do you use any extension?
