Whenever i go fullscreen on a video even though it's loaded in it just starts showing the loading circl and stops playing, When i exit fullscreen the vid plays again. It's like this on every site so it's not the fault of the site i'm using. And the videos do play on other browsers.
Can anyone help me so i can watch vids on opera again.
Thx

@CaptAD No problems playing videos on fullscreen here, both on Opera One and Opera GX.

@leocg So the thing happening on my end is that:
When I press the F key it goes into full screen mode but the video starts lagging and buffering. The audio continues to play but the video starts buffering (shows the big loading thing while the audio continues to play in the background.
On exiting full screen the video comes back to normal.

My opera version is:
CORE: 117.0.5408.162 (LEVEL 6)
