Video plays fine here. For comparison, I'm on Windows 10 and I have an Intel HD4600 graphic card.

Plays fine for me on Windows 10 with Intel HD3000 GPU.

Thanks for responses - video lags between first 8 - 14 seconds constantly.

Running Windows 7 on older Laptop. It's strange Chrome has no problem, and MS Explorer 11 is completely useless.

Youtube works fine as tested on this Cult video:

I'll try it on another CPU, and hope others with same problem chime in this thread - more answers, better chance of isolating the problem.

BTW, Twitter post videos work fine too.

Did some digging and found out that I can play MSNBC videos from September 2017 and earlier, fine - Approximately October 2017 and afterwards, the stuttering starts and it's always between 7-14 seconds at the start.

Looks like MSNBC did something to their video format, as I made sure flash is updated (reinstall) - Taking a guess, but buffering seems like a possibility.

I have Flash disable by default and the video played here, so I don't think it's something related to Flash.

@leocg You are correct as I did get a "Right click enable Flash" on another video. So it's something with their video format, as these ones are just click "Play" button.

Likely MSNBC won't do anything unless they get numerous complaints - can't see it being a problem specific to just me.

What happens if you disable Flash in settings and try to play those videos?

Chrome uses ffmpeg for proprietary codecs. Opera doesn't and uses the Windows Media Foundation/APIs. That could explain the difference.

@leocg If you mean "Allow sites to run flash" is set to disabled, then no video image appears and clicking play button means nothing as it stays dark. Reset the setting to allow, and same problem after the 7 second mark (every time).

@burnout426 I would of tried Internet Explorer 11 but that is a shameful product (videos on twitter don't even run).

After a couple of days, really liking this OPERA. Little things that you use to make the browser more productive.

Is Opera open source, or is this a Chinese company now?

Opera is not open source. And it's a Norwegian company owned by Chineses.
