<![CDATA[Video Pop-Out broken (again)]]>I need my oldstyle video pop-out. Help me please.
New one is so bad (can't see big and small pictures at the same time, ugly shadow at mouseOver, can't change volume etc.)

I fixed it at the past usuing
opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers

Useful link from this forum: opera 66 video popup has a limit in sizing, no controls, etc

Opera 67 (67.0.3575.31) broke it totally.
Oldstyle pop-out doesn't work at all (black screen). What can i do?

So basically:

  • Downlaod the offline installer of an old version
  • Turn off your internet connection
  • Run the installer
  • Rename the opera_autoupdate.exe in the related sub-folder in Opera's installation directory
  • Turn on your internet connection

Why was it removed? I can't find an answer here????

Also i dont understand why, it is not at least improved that the position and size are saved in the popup with the new style...

And I have not found any instructions to disable the auto update function, only rename opera_autoupdate.exe, but this dont work

Same Problem without solution... the new Pop-Out Style is really shit...

I don't understand why they deleted the old style and didn't make it freely selectable...

Is there a way to deactivate the autoupdate so that I can use a older version with the old style where it still works properly?

@oelmensch I found the solution there! I enable -Override software rendering list- and disable -Use surface layers in Video Pop-out-

it seems works fine on youtube and other streaming sites!

am glad ya got things work 'n..

but am confused and i do not mean to despute what ya said -

ya said this that ya - (disabled -Use surface layers in Video Pop-out)
What version of opera did ya disabled this flag in.. *just ask'n..

the reason i ask is i think version 66.0.3515.115 was last version for the old style pip was working..

if ya disable that flag in the newer version of opera the (Video Pop-out)
will be black and non work 'n except for sound perhaps..

if ya set the flag @ (default or Enabled) ya get the new (Video Pop-out)..

if ya got the old style PIP work 'n in the latest opera version do tell and show how.. *thankyou in advance..

I made a try in the Opera Developer: 69.0.3630.0.

OldStyle Pop-Out.
opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers: Disable
Black pop-out window, video is in the main window.

New style shit.
opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers: Enable
Black main window, video is in the pop-out window.

Do nothing at all:
--disable-gpu-compositing
--disable-direct-composition-layers
--disable-direct-composition

Since I've updated Opera to version 67.0.3575.53 the Pop-Out player doesen't work anymore.
That means when the flag is disabled (like it has to be in the older Versions) and I press the button to pop out the Window the old Window pops up but frezzes shortly after that, the main Window (e.g. Youtube player) works properly.photo5420583009607855599.jpg

When the flag ist set on Default or Enabeld (like you said it should be) and I press the button to pop out the Window a black Window pops out in the right corner of the screen and the main Window turns black aswell but the Video contiues (I think so because the sound is still there).photo5418106668903935725.jpg.

I hope you have enough information to solve the problem.

Adding new features is a right way...
only if you can keep good parts from the past.

I believe that people from Opera can fix it.
Furthermore, opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers is broken now and must be fixed anyway.

Since the change is happening for technical reasons, I don't think we can have the old video pop-out back.
