      @burnout426 The only difference is that in the dev version the video is frozen in the first frame. The error message is not displayed as in the stable version. But thanks for the attempt!

        @Daigo Here this video plays in the Opera Dev version(61.0.3290.0) on Win8.1x64.
        I see the same behaviour(about freeze at the first frame) as you discribed in Vivaldi.
        In Chrome, Firefox works fine.

          @Daigo So, you're saying it doesn't really play in the developer version either?

            @burnout426 Yes, I installed the dev version, following the steps you indicated. The previous error screen that read "Could not play the media." does not appear. The "play" button is activated, I click on it to start, however, the video is stopped in the first frame. The video timeline appears as fully charged, even with the total time being displayed, but does not play.

                  Just to see if it makes any difference, goto the URL opera://settings/system in Opera, turn off hardware acceleration, restart Opera, and try again.

                    Also, install https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher-5/ and try again masking as Chrome for Windows.

                      Also, if you want, set opera://flags/#autoplay-policy to "No user gesture required" while testing just to see if it makes any difference. It shouldn't, but you can try.

                        Here this video doesn't play on Dev version with hardware acceleration OFF and I see freeze frame like in Vivaldi, but in Vivaldi(with acceleration on) the timeline looks as fully charged.
                        Edit: agent switching doesn't play a roll, the same with flag.

                            windows 10 enterprise

                            The Enterprise version of Windows 10 lacks something Opera needs that the Pro and Home versions have. It probably needs the Media Feature Pack installed. However, that installer is for "N" versions of Windows 10. It won't install on regular Enterprise. If you can find a way around that or if you can find it in "Start button -> settings -> Apps -> Apps and Features -> Manage Optional Features", you should be able to get things working. (If Windows Media Player isn't installed, try installing it to see what happens.)

                            Probably same issue for some/most Win 8.1 users. There's a Media Feature pack list at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions. But, again , it's only for "N" versions and won't install on non-N versions. Maybe there's a way around that.

                              @burnout426 maybe he needs to wait for the upgrade to Opera version 61.

                                @temkem Maybe. Still getting mixed results from users for the 8.1 issue, so not sure.

                                  But on Opera Developer 61.0.3290.0, videos on Twitter work.

                                    I was able to test in 8.1 again, but with Opera Dev this time. The video works in developer for me too. I wasn't able to truly test if the audio for it worked as the laptop I was testing on had blown speakers and a busted headphone jack. I also saw some decoding issues for audio in opera://media-internals. I'll just have to test on a different Windows 8.1 device when I get a chance. I assume you can hear the audio in the video on your 8.1?

                                      In Chrome/FireFox plays with sound.

                                        @burnout426 There is no sound on this video.

                                        If you open this video through Firefox, then there is sound.

                                          @burnout426 I guess if sound works, there should be equalizer visible on the tab in Opera. So it can be tested even without speakers(just to check if it's not muted, here the video is muted by default).

                                            After some time, I had my problem solved. The member @cmarcelo, gave the "golden ticket". I tested it and it worked out for me. Videos that were not running, now play normally.

                                            https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases

                                            Access the GitHub repository and download the ffmpeg version for your OS (Linux, Windows, OSX). Then unzip the Opera root folder. Restart your browser.
