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.

I have installed Windows 8.1 x64 for one language.
Opera 60.0.3255.59 does not play some Twitter videos

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?

No sound here on Win 8.1x64 with Opera Dev 61.0.3296.0
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.

For me, "nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt" did not make difference. Even without it the original linked Tweeter video played fine on Opera 60 with some updates. I'm not sure what caused this - maybe Twitter re-encoded it at some point with a different codec. I've noticed low quality, and not sure it was the same when I've started the thread. I've tried monitoring the Opera process and did not notice it even tries to access the new .dll file. Someone will have to link a specific video which did not work without this .dll and worked with it.

And yes, https://twitter.com/NOAASatellites is the latest example of how videos don't work under Windows 8.1 even with latest Chrome browser.

@liandri Hi, thanks for try. I found that maybe is the W8.1 (and W7) that makes the problem stable.
Look here (link for bugzilla.mozilla). Link for mozilla, but is the same problem that is about W7 and W8.1
There is a thread about it here also (reddit)
