YouTube Sticks But Not in Pop-Out

YouTube gets stuck quickly after launching a video. Oddly, this doesn't happen in the video pop-out window. The only way to make it stop spinning in the tab is to restart Opera.

@spike666 I should add that video works fine on other sites, like news sources, that the ads on YouTube always work fine (hah, no surprise there), and I have a low latency (8ms) high speed (500mb/s) connection.

Well it took a while but I figured this out. Not sure why nobody at Opera can answer the question.

Turns out the problem is GPU acceleration is the problem. Turning it off fixed it. But not until I had completely uninstalled and reinstalled Opera and found that didn't fix it. It had started with the update before the most recent, for some reason.

So for anyone else running into this, turn off GPU acceleration.
