Hello, With a slight delay this week, we would like to publish new Opera 82 developer version. It includes some news: Check out Automatic video pop-out. Video conferencing pop-out is very popular so we are also making this improvement for Youtube videos too. Your video will be popped-out automatically when you open a new tab,…

No news regarding the issue in chromium when WMFVideoDecoder is used instead of VDAVideoDecoder for h.264 videos on some graphics cards and as a result very high CPU load? No interest from Opera side in this case?

@andrew84 From your logs you previously posted, it was found that:

• Neither Chrome or Opera can use D3D11VideoDecoder to decode h.264 on that system.

• Chrome uses FFmpeg to decode H.264 in software while Opera uses the Windows Media Foundation decoder.

• Opera ends up being less efficient in this case, either because the Media Foundation decoder is less efficient than FFmpeg, or there's something sub-optimal about the way Opera uses the Media Foundation, or both.

Nothing more to report than that though.

@burnout426 Yes, only Edge works correctly here.
I mean that opera devs could report it to chromium.

@indiqazzz I couldn't reproduce the problem editing or deleting a bookmark in the panel or via the bookmarks toolbar or the opera://bookmarks page.

Start with a new Opera profile. Or, close down Opera and delete the Bookmark and BookmarkExtras files in the profile folder.

You could export your bookmarks and reimport them to see if that's enough to fix things.

Are you using Opera Sync though? If so, you might have to reset your data at sync.opera.com in addition to starting with a new profile.

@andrew84 If Chromium (not any of Opera's modifications or use of WMF) is doing something wrong (different than what it used to do), you can file a report yourself at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list to get the ball rolling. Just click "new". You'll have to be very detailed about the probably system and versions of Chromium Opera is using that you're comparing and provide all the logs etc.

Once you have that, maybe an Opera dev can comment on the bug.

For me, on YouTube, automatic disconnection of the video does not work.

My proposals for changes in Opera (Google Document).
- There are not enough signs to put all the links here.

@jojo0587 I think this is a visual bug in this case. There should be a column instead of rows, like previously.
*But I agree there should be more categories, like in Chrome or Edge

@jojo0587: did you enable it in Settings?
Here it works. But if I manually detach a video, it'll stop working. To make it work again is need to reopen the video in new tab.

@andrew84: I ran a fresh install of portable Opera Developer and it didn't work. Video disconnection is enabled by default, but manual. I was looking for an auto-disconnect option - did not find it.

@andrew84: OK. So please, on the subject of my suggestion, press the thumbs-up button.

@jojo0587 It works here, at least on YouTube. When you change to another tab, video pop-up appears on the bottom right of the screen.

It doesn't seem to work when you open a new tab, you need to go back to the YouTube tab and then return to the newly opened tab for the video pop-out to show up.

When you click on the icon to upload a image to the forum, Opera crashes. Anyone else with that issue?

I'm on Windows 11 for the matter.

@leocg No crash here (win 8.1)

@leocg: Really. Works, but not always. You can see the function is not refined because the pop-up does not always appear.

@jojo0587 Here it appears, unless you do something manually with it. What makes sense in my opinion.
