In addition, on these sites, I began to hang and slow down the video. If I hover my mouse over a tab, the video stops hanging and slowing down.

Had trouble finding URLs as I don't have accounts with them. But, I hunted on Google for some .

I tried with https://ok.ru/live/1386345799187 in Opera 66.0.3515.2 64-bit on Windows 10 1909 with the video set to 480p and 720p. The video does not studder at all for me and plays fine. There's also very little difference in CPU usage when the tab audio indicator is animating and when it's not.

I also tried https://vk.com/video-126024280_456239281 (which is just an embedded youtube video) and the same results.

All seems good to me.

@burnout426: I have the following results with the first video on Win8x64 (approx. the same timeline and I turned off antivirus). As you see CPU speed shows maximum when unmuted and ~3 times less when muted.

@andrew84 Thanks for checking.

@burnout426 There's a difference also if I hover the cursor over the tab or mute it, I forgot to mention. So, I'm not sure how big is the difference, it seems that the animation always shows the full speed, but when muted the cpu speed varies (but I see the full speed not so often with muted tab in contrast to the active equalizer)

@andrew84 I have similar results on Ytube with 720p (not 60fps) video. So maybe I can't confirm the issue on these 2 sites. I don't know.

But the CPU load is not so bad. The video on the website vk.com and ok.ru started hanging and slow down . And if I hover my mouse over a tab of these sites, then the video starts to play well.

Are you sure this is Opera's problem? As soon as you open the video on vk.com and ok.ru, buffering begins, which can cause hangs and slowdowns within seconds.
For me personally, the fix "DNA-82626 [Win] High CPU usage due to media indicator animation" solved the video problem, I don't see much difference with Сhrome now.

Yes, I'm sure, since I can see that the buffering has already passed.
And when you hover over a tab vk.com or ok.ru the video starts playing normally.
on stable Opera 65.0.3467.48 there is no such problem on the site vk.com

@temkem I checked again in Opera Developer 66.0.3515.2 and in Opera Bera 66.0.3515.3, I have no problem. It’s strange.

@johnd78 @temkem Dear fellows in front of the screen,

There is nothing strange about having different hardware and software.

I turned off the opera://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode flag and the videos on these sites began to work normally.
But why isn't there such a problem on stable Opera and no problem on the Vivaldi browser?

@temkem Not sure. Guess there could be a change in Chromium that caused the difference. I guess you could compare opera://gpu between stable and developer to see if there are any differences. Also, with Vivaldi, I'm assuming you tried the snapshot and not stable. Vivaldi is often behind in Chromium, so you want the latest snapshot to at least get a build with a newer Chromium.

@andrew84 Does the issue go away for you too when opera://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode is enabled?

@burnout426 opera://gpu/
the difference between the stable version and Opera Developer is that Developer includes
Viz Hit-test Surface Layer

Have Vivaldi Snapshot 2.9.1735.3 version of Chromium(79.0.3945.45) higher than have Opera Developer and Opera Beta, but have Vivaldi there is no such problems and have him, too, included Viz Hit-test Surface Layer and all same sections that and have Opera Developer and Beta

I guess you could disable opera://flags/#enable-viz-hit-test-surface-layer just to see if it makes a differencer for Opera. I guess you could also try disabling chrome://flags/#video-pop-out-surface-layers so Opera Developer doesn't use Chromium's new pop-out feature. Even if you're not using the video pop-out, maybe there's an issue with it behind the scenes. Just a wild guess though.

@burnout426 no, it doesn't help. Especially on Opera Beta by default disabled flag: opera://flags/#video-pop-out-surface-layers
and there is this problem too.

I don't want to confuse you, but here with this flag disabled I have the same behavior. But I mean only the higher CPU load, I had no problems with hanging video on ok.ru previously too.
And regarding the CPU load, I have similar behavior with both YouTube and ok.ru videos (720p not 60fps).
*I can add that I'm using O58 currently, and the same YTube video (720p) consumes less resources in overall in 58version than in the last Dev version (with active equalizrer, antivirus is off), but in 58 there's also the cpu load become less when tab is hovered by the cursor. When I turn the antivirus on and put higher quality (1080+) it's already hard to say.
