      I have enabled VP9 in youtube and also VP8 in opera flags in Opera 19 but Opera still does not play VP9 videos in youtube. The same video plays in VP9 in Chrome.

                    YouTube wasn't/isn't serving HTML5 video formats properly to Opera (one issue involving the codec and another involving the resolutions available). Then Opera added a browser.js patch to force YouTube pages to deliver the Flash version of the player as a workaround while YouTube team would fix their site. That's why you're receiving the Flash version. If you disable Flash in opera:plugins you might be able to play the video in the HTML5 version.

                      Disabling Adobe Acrobat - 11.0.06.70 from opera:plugins permits the JW Player media player, which I embed on http://ultimatetemptations.com and http://fubar.com, to visually appear and play as usual for

                      Version 12.17
                      Build 1863
                      Platform Win32
                      System Windows 7

                      of Opera.

                      Thank you for posting the suggestion as it worked in my case.

                        Remember! It is not all videos play with HTML5.
