      Having the exact same issue on Opera GX. Super super annoying. Doesn't matter what website, as long as it's a video i'll get the same issue. Contemplating moving back to Chrome at this point.

        Just wanted to say that the latest Opera update fixed it for me.
        So for my issue it started with one of the updates in March and was fixed with the latest update.
        I hope you guys eventually get a fix from Opera as well.

          @kallenavn I'm still testing, it was very random for me. Thanks for your report!

            Sorry to dig up an old Topic - but this is happening again 🙂

            Been going on now for a couple of weeks.

            Windows 11 - 22H2 - 22621.675
            Opera GX LVL4 (core: 91.0.4516.72)

            Seems to be happening on Twitch when viewing videos with Codex avc1.64002A,mp4a.40.2
            The Video freezes, sometimes for 5-10 sec, sometimes for up to 3 min.

              How comes this never got any attention to Opera so far?
              This issue still exists to me as well, and seeing how this issue isn't solved yet, makes me wonder what Opera devs are doing...

              Could we get a fix for this, or does anyone know how to solve this?
              It's quite annoying to the point that people are transferring to other browsers than Opera...

              Quite disappointing I must say.

                @pyrosu Any examples and steps to reproduce? Videos play fine here usually.

                  @leocg still happens, the problem hasn't been fixed yet.
                  If you need an example, type "terraria but calamity death mode is actually enjoyable?" on youtube and skip to 4:05.
                  The video will start to buffering. I don't know if can send the link or image of the problems, because I just created the account to report the bug, and haven't read the rules yet.

                    I have no idea when and what fixed it, but this problem is gone for me for a long time now (more than a year for sure). I didn't have any hardware changes on my pc, so it had to be an automatic software update.

                            I am currently having this issue. I watch a show on one monitor and surf the internet on other monitors and every few times I open and close tabs Opera drops out the show. I have to reload the show and restart it each time it does this. Very annoying.

                            I watch shows on a variety of platforms and it happens to all platforms. I watch whatever the lowest quality is generally 360p or 720p as internet out here only goes up to 20mbps. I have snoozing tabs to save memory turned off, and I tried turned on neither seems to make a difference on the dropping out videos.
