      Well, that was close - if the new default is the chromium one i'm done with opera - after what 20 years or something. But it seems fixable. ---- Really scared me there for a second

        I take it back - it's broken, it hangs at regular intervals. Maybe why changed it? I'll give it a week.

                hi there, i read someplace that there was a fix to put it back to how it used to be, im wondering if you by chance knew it.

                  @johndaruk Goto the URL opera://flags/#video-pop-out-surface-layers, disable it and restart Opera. Disable opera://flags/#enable-surfaces-for-videos if you have to too.

                    hi, so i did this, but when i try to activate it, it brings back the old format window, but its only a black window now, do you happen to know whats going on and how to fix this?

                      I'm unable to find the 2nd flag on Opera stable 67.0.3575.52.
                      The 1st flag (#video-pop-out-surface-layers) works in bringing back the old PIP player but it stays completely black for youtube videos.

                      Any workaround for this, besides reverting to 65?
                      It's not such a massive deal breaker, but just the fact you have to click a very specific (and now smaller) button instead of anywhere-except-a-button like the original is incredibly frustrating.
                      It's like the original devs never tried the feature, just chucked it in and called it a day.

                      And I'm not blaming Opera devs for this, because they just enabled the Chromium version, which hopefully will get more support.
                      I am blaming the opera devs for the forced "upgrade" to an inferior feature with no option to switch back to original, even if buggier.
                      Cmon guys, don't do a classic Microsoft, please?

                        Follow-up point (specific to Windows):

                        • The pop-out now appearing as a new Opera window is...double edged? For one, it's easier to find, but also it conflicts with the alt-tabbing history and windows shortcuts.
                        • Unsure if I'd rather have the old functionality back (floating window as part of the main Opera one), or the new one, or a toggle.

                          @dhartescu I can confirm that the updated version disables video output to the pop-out window. It appears black.

                            @johndaruk The fix is the new video pop-out.

                              i think i know what you mean, but even when i try to use the newer one it just makes the video, and the newly created pop-out go black, is there a fix to this?

                                @johndaruk I don't know any that would depend only on the user.

                                By the way, what OS?

                                        @johndaruk Same problem too. The newest Opera version brings frozen or black screen with old PiP player.

                                        And the new one displays a black window too.

                                        Tried with DX11, DX12 and OpenGL drivers, disable / enable acelerated decoding, nothing works.

                                        Any idea ?

                                        A big issue that could probably make me migrate to Firefox, when their new rendering engine will be ready.

                                            Thanks. 🙂 But changing dev channel is a pain in the ass with Opera. Reinsiall, awful sync system (errors, conflicts...), massive configuration to redo (shortcuts config, etc...)

                                            I'll simply wait then.
