<![CDATA[Will Opera Ever Support H.264 And MP3]]>I was wondering if Opera will ever support videos using H.264 (video) and MP3 (audio)? These are both supported by Chrome and IE. I only ask because there are some experiences that I need to change browsers to enjoy. I assume the audio ones are MP3, but I guess they could be AAC.

On a side note I noticed when I use My Browser option Opera scores 508, but when I select Opera 24 it has a score of 504.

where is the mp3 codec that Opera uses?

Sorry, no idea. I guess it uses the system's ones but i'm not sure.

It seems that Opera is having troubles finding it (at least for me). I even created a thread of this: https://forums.opera.com/topic/5759/opera-25-mp3-support/1.

I didn't try in version 26, but I don't see why it shouldn't.

When I try to open the file [this] happens. Also, Opera is not able to play embedded .mp3 files from any site, (the issues I mentioned above), etc...

Yes, that flag is enabled by default. I use Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit.

Should be working on Win7 afaik.

If you try to open the file from Opera, does it works?

Really? I'm using the latest Beta build (25.0.1614.35) and the mp3 support is not working. When I drag and drop a .mp3 file into Opera it does nothing!

Here it plays the file.

Do you have opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback enabled? Also, which Windows do you use?

Yes. Unless something unexpected happens you should see it working by default in Opera 25.

Chrome automatically plays the file as soon as I drop it. I also have the following problems: "Google translate" has no voice, why I can not hear the sound on this page?.

That just made my day. And to think had I not quit using Opera Next, or Beta I would have known that already.
