When I right click it says "about adobe flash player 16

So I assume I am using flash player - what do I do? is there something else in settings?

Make sure your flash player version ends with 305, which is the latest one. 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.

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".

Thanks Leo got new flash player - seemed to be the same one? As it mentioned Opera Downloaded it and installed it

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

Is that the best available?

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

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.

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

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.

Adobe currently maintains a NPAPI version of flash and a PPAPI version. 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.

Flash player still not good and not sync so I tried out the suggestion above and the link to youtube let me default to html5 ..... this looks a little better ..... speech now seem to sync near enough

Hope this default sticks next time I go in?

Thanks again for all your help on this..... it is much appreciated.... nice to talke to the experts!!

For me the youtube sidebar is no longer working after the latest update. I click on the button that makes it show up but nothing happens, only the button changes to its "sidebar visible" state.
