      @avl I have the same issue. It started after updating opera and my mac on the same day.

      It's happening on sites like

      • IMDB where the video starts then freezes and then you see : This video file cannot be played.
        (Error Code: 224002)
        .

      • Tumblr where the video disappears as soon as I try to play it.

      • On instagram the video starts playing then stops.

      • It's also happening on various streaming websites, such as Vidtodo where the video does not play at all and it says The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.

      Would love some help! thanks. The videos are playing fine on Safari, but I usually prefer Opera and would like to keep using it.

          Hi guys, and what if you enable the opera://flags/#ffmpeg-demuxer-everywhere, and restart the Opera, does it help?

                Hi @matt616, nice to hear that, but enabling or disabling works?

                  It was disabled by default for the version of Opera that I was using, so I selected enable and that worked for me.
