<![CDATA[[Solved]accessed video through VPN, but has no sound except for ads]]>I'm using the Opera Dev. browser version 45.0.2548.0 (PGO) on a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit laptop. I'm in the United States and set the VPN to Canada to watch http://watch.cbc.ca/canada--the-story-of-us/-/episode-1/38e815a-00beb574afc. Video is no problem and of course I can heard the commercials without problem. However, the show's audio doesn't play.

Is this a bug in the Opera browser, or something on the CBC side that needs to be overcome?

Thanks!

I tried over the past couple of days and everything worked consistently.

Added [*.]watch.cbc.ca to the Flash settings exceptions and checked "Detect and run important flash content".

Unfortunately, when I ran the link in a new tab, I still have no sound ... unless a commercial plays.

I've checked "Detect and run important flash content" and worked fine, just reloading the page.

Good TvShow, I've saved to watch it later. 😉

I then tried "Allow sites to run flash", "detect and run ....", and "click to play" options. Each time, I closed Opera and reran it then accessed the link in questions. Again, no luck getting sound. Am I missing a setting?

I did run opera://media-internals with the CBC site running. Under Players, I click on "blob:http:/watch.cbc.ca/0f64e37...." which showed:
render_id: 24
player_id: 1
pipeline_state: kStopped
event: WEBMEDIAPLAYER_DESTROYED

Any ideas?

If I add watch.cbc.ca as an exception for Flash in Settings, the sound plays.
