<![CDATA[Problem with Facebook videos]]>I have a problem with Opera that appeared recently (might be linked with Win10 Creators Update). Whenever I launch a video on Facebook (I'm talking about FB native videos, not youtube), it starts to play correctly. But whenever I try to fast forward or rewind it by moving the slider, the video pauses and cannot be played again. Moving the slider refreshes the displayed video frame, but doesn't start the playback. I can watch the entire video just fine as long as I don't try to fast forward or rewind. If I do, there's no way to continue the playback. Issue occurs only on Opera, videos are working fine on Chrome.

I tried:
-updating flash player
-disabling Opera extensions
-disabling Opera's ad blocker
-launching Opera in private mode
-clearing cache, cookies
-using both HD and normal videos on FB
-using other browsers (FB videos work fine in Chrome for me)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Launch Opera
  2. Go to Facebook
  3. Play any native FB video
  4. Try to fast forward it or rewind by moving the slider
  5. Notice the video will pause and it won't be possible to watch it anymore

Actual result: FB native videos are getting paused and cannot be watched after trying to rewind or fast forward them.
Expected result: User should be able to fast forward or rewind FB native videos without any issues.

OS: Windows 10 64 bit, Creators Update
URL: Facebook.com
Version of Opera: 45.0.2552.881 (PGO)

Today, I decided to try it on Internet Explorer 11, Firefox, and Chrome too. Same thing. Sounds like it is on Facebook end. I'm using Window 7.

Zalex might be right, if I didn't improperly misunderstand about the account😉
Meaning if it's only and exclusively on Facebook, but everywhere on your system, the problem might lie in their player or its rendering sitewise. Unless it's in your system*;)*

Zalex, this shows it might be non-browser related. Meaning there might be something wrong with plugins/players. As long as Opera, for instance, they say relies on system players...

I thought it was a problem with a a cookie with his user because it was wrong in every browser, but now it seems it's a Facebook problem with his account.

@killiahn I have the exact same issue with all my other browsers as well - the video is just stuck on pause.. Have you found a solution to this problem by any chance? Thanks in advance.

The error is not coming from the computer, it's coming from facebook itself. Videos are working as they should with other accounts, but not on mine. Have contacted facebook support now.

You may need to try to clean the cache in every browser, with cCleaner you can do it for all at once.
Clean site cookies may be needed too.

Try enabling / disabling Hardware acceleration on settings.
If nothing happens, You may try enabling in Opera://Flags | Override software rendering list

Try it with a clean profile first.
