      No, and i won't install the FlashPlayer or the Plugin.

      Well, at least here that page seems to use Flash.

      All other browser don't have Flash either. But they can play this video.

      Chrome brings its own Flash.

      Only Opera fails.

      Did you try disabling hardware acceleration in Settings?

        My FireFox has no Flash installed. And i've deactivated Flash on Chrome.
        And both browsers can play these videos, without flash.
        And my Palemoon browser has also no Flash, and it can play these videos.

        Yes, i've tried and deactivated hardware acceleration in Opera.
        Doesn't change anything, the problem still exists.

          Try checking opera://media-internals/ while playing the video to see if it gives you any hint.

          BTW, your graphic card driver is up to date?

              Even tested with a new profile Frequently Asked Questions (Opera for Windows) ?

              And delete also the cache folder.

                Guys, i've tested the video also now with my IE 11.0
                He can't play this video either!
                I get this message:
                "The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported: http://www.fail.to/videos/7601ae81c2156d11a11911ccf802a4e3.mp4undefinedundefined"

                In the Internet, there is a service where you can test different OS with different browsers.

                That's the site:
                browserling.com

                I set there: OS windows 7
                That are the results:

                Internet Explorer: fails (same error message as above)
                FireFox: successfull played
                Opera: fails (same error message as above)
                Chrome: successfully played

                      If you download the video and play it in Windows Media Player, does it play fine?

                        Yes, Windows Media Player can play this video without problems.

                          Yes, Windows Media Player can play this video without problems.

                          Did you ever installed any codecs? Or does it plays natively?

                          Also, if you try to play the video directly in Opera, does it play?

                            I never installed any codecs.
                            And when i play it directly in Opera, there is only sound and the video still is black.

                              Weird if IE has problems too.

                                I created new profile, i followed your advice.

                                But it didn't help.
                                The sound is there but no video (it's still black).

                                馃槥

                                With Opera i have at least sound, but my IE 11.0.9600.18537 can't play the video at all (no sound, no video).

                                  but it works in Media Player....

                                  I don't have any codec pack installed but the video works fine.

                                  BTW, K-lite or any other may help.

                                    Installed now K-Lite Full Codec Package and rebootet.

                                    But it didn't help either.

                                    Still same problem.

                                      Do you use any adblocker into FF or Chrome?

                                      Some times this happens to me in some sites because the AdbBocker blocks part of ads but there is an Overlay hidden the video.

                                      Another option, check site options with Site Settings and / or in Adobe Flash and PC options for "Fail.to"

                                        Go here and see what formats your browsers support.
                                        It's a bit out of date now, but should show if the browser supports HTML5 video.
                                        It's possible that Opera is trying to play the video using HTML5, but is failing and not dropping back to the Flash player.

                                          All other browser don't have Flash either. But they can play this video.

                                            I've now checked with Firefox, and the video plays there using Flash as the default.
                                            If I disable the Flash plugin, the video still plays, using HTML5 instead.
                                            I downloaded the video, and it appears to be a a standard H.264 .mp4 file, nothing unusual about it at all.
                                            It does look as if the site is telling the browser to try to play it with Flash first for some reason, and then drop back to HTML5 if that fails, usually it's the other way around of course!
                                            For some reason, the OP's installation of Opera (and IE) seems to be not dropping over to HTML5 properly when the Flash player fails as it isn't installed.
