<![CDATA[YouTube won't play after latest upgrade]]>Opera upgrades are usually smooth and seamless, but his time YouTube videos will not play. I get an error message telling me to try again later. I upgraded to the latest Flash player, disabled all plugins except Flash, deleted Flash caches & reinstalled Flash, uninstalled and reinstalled Opera, and was finally reduced to installing Chrome, which plays videos just fine.

Are there any suggestions on how I can get Opera to play YouTube videos? Vimeo plays just fine, but YouTube returns an error message.

Though it seems some sites could overshoot the compatibility in certain future.
I'm running it on XP 😎

My laptop works just fine with version 12.17.

Perhaps I should uninstall all versions of Opera, delete plugins, clear the caches, remove registry entries and reinstall one of the earlier versions. Any suggestions along those lines of thinking?

One could be interfering. Try disabling them at menu Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+E).

Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. Downloaded ppapi and disabled npapi.

More info:
Just played a 1080 YouTube video in Chrome and have been monitoring the connection speed--about 55Mbps. It appears that the video is attempting to buffer instead of starting right away and maybe times out(?). There is no data transfer while Opera attempts to buffer. Also, I can place the mouse pointer along the YouTube time slider and get tiny pop-ups of the video.

Any ideas?

After the installation, go to opera:plugins (type it on the address bar an press enter) and disable the npapi flash.
