      Thanks for your answers!

      Unfortunately a private window or creating a new profile didn't help.
      I also tried copying the profile from the working PC, no success either.

      From what I know, Twitch is using HTML5 too.
      When I manually install Flash it works, but I am asuming I dont need to manually install Flash on my PC?
      It works on my other PC and in other browsers, without having Flash installed.

        Hah! Just refound the old Opera profile folder. 🙂

        Was looking in the wrong directory - there are so many of them nowadays!

          Take a look here.
          Using OSync also helps for some things.

          If a clean profile doesn't fix the problem, then reinstall Opera and check what happens, maybe something broken.

            reuters.com acts that way for me too. It might be 3rd party cookies or some other setting - not sure. But reuters.tv always works and some of their other links in stories occasionally work. I always have flash disabled in the chromium based browsers, and not installed in the others. There are very few sites that still suck as far as needing flash - but they are evolving.

              You may try deleting the problematic site cookies but in a a private window cookies are skipped, so if the site still fails then a clean profile is needed.

                I have already tried reinstalling Opera (both while deleting my profile and keeping it).
                Didn't work either.

                Something else, that might be worth mentioning, is that I am using Windows Server 2016 as my OS.
                I doubt that it makes a difference however, since other browsers are working fine..

                OSync didn't help too.

                  Take a look at opera://media-internals/ while trying to play the videos and check if there are error messages.

                    When having just two tabs open (twitch + opera://media-internals/) it doesn't show any players (nothing unter Audio and Video Capture either).
                    The Youtube-problem seems like is has fixed itself, I am only experiencing issues with Twitch at the moment.

                      Does Twitch use Flash? If so then nothing will be shown on media-internals.

                      Does opera://gpu says that video decode uses hardware acceleration?

                        I think Twitch is using HTML5 for about a year now. This is weird however, because the error says "Flash is not installed".

                        In opera:// gpu it says, that Video Decode is Hardware accelerated.
                        Here is a screenshot of the page, in case it is needed:
