      I'm having some issues with both Opera and Chrome browsers. They don't load live videos (Facebook Live Streams, Youtube Live, Twitch, etc.). I can hear the audio perfectly, but the screen is all black and glitchy. Firefox and Edge are fine, i'm having this issue only on Opera and Chrome.

      Information:
      OS - Windows 10
      Opera - Latest Version
      Flash Player - Latest Version

      I've done all the recomended steps like disabling all the extensions, creating a new profile on both the "Local" and "Roaming" folders, uninstall and install Opera again, but nothing worked for me. If anybody could help me, i'd be trully apreciated.

      Cheers,
      Negatif.

          @leocg Youtube normal videos are fine, live videos don't, facebook not really. I can't watch any facebook videos, live or not live.

                  @leocg Media Internals have a lot of links but in the majority of them, it says (WEBMEDIAPLAYER_DESTROYED) at the end. Does that have anything to do with the problem i'm experiencing? I never saw that before.

                      Could you install it? It installs separate from regular Chrome, so it won't hurt anything. It contains the latest fixes in Chromium and there were some recent video/hardware acceleration fixes that might help that are not in Chrome and Opera yet.
