<![CDATA[Opera 27: YouTube not working]]>So I recently upgraded from Opera 12 to Opera 27 (latest stable build with the most recent update). I love the browser but I tried YouTube for the first time last night and the browser failed to handle the site. The video loaded and the video timer started ticking but then the video image froze and refused to play. I refreshed the page a few times and it happened every time. I have updated to the latest Opera 27-compatible flash version from the flash website.

This however should be irrelevant because YouTube now uses HTML5. Help?

PS: It's also worth noting that the latest version of Firefox handles YouTube perfectly on this machine.

it doesn't seem to work on those sites

That is not a helpful description of the problem. You will need to give us more information if you want help. Also, have you tried the private window thing I mentioned above?

This setting is causing many problems in many websites when using opera (doesnt happen with other browsers). This is probably just one more problem to the list.

I click on the button that makes it show up but nothing happens, only the button changes to its "sidebar visible" state.

They both have the same version number but have to be installed separately. https://forums.opera.com/post/67845 already explains what you have to do to install the right one.

As for HTML5, yes, YouTube has an HTML5 version of the site but you have to change a setting on their site to enable it. I don't know it off the top of my head but its easy enough to google.

Leo, dont understand was told that 305 was the ppapi version - is there any difference? If so where do I get it from?

Afaik both npapi and ppapi are in the same version number, or very close at least.

You should be able to get the ppapi version at https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

HTML5 can Youtube use this? if so and its better how do I set it up - looked in youtube and cant find anything?

You need to enable the html5 player at https://www.youtube.com/html5

Note that some videos may not be played in the html5 player.

It's the ppapi/pepper one? It looks better if you use the html5 player?

seemed to be the same one? As it mentioned Opera Downloaded it and installed it

You said you only have the npapi one and Opera should download the ppapi version.

Seems to be less video stutter pauses but still some and the voice does not sync?

I've been noticed some issues with flash player recently. Don't know if it's a plugin issue, an Opera issue or what.

Is that the best available?

Don't know if the best but it's basically the only one as support for npapi is being dropped by Chromium.

What is ppapi flash? its not there

It's a new plugin architecture. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ using Opera and download it. Don't forget to uncheck the "optional offer".

Also check if you are using ppapi flash (you can verify it at opera:plugins).

Also try empty the cache and also your OS %temp% folder.
