Hey everyone,

Is anyone else having this issue? Since the recent update (around August 28, 2025), my Opera browser on Android can't play videos on most anime streaming sites. The player just gets stuck on an infinite loading loop.

My Setup:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy M12

Android: 13

Opera Version: 91.1.4817.85143 (Latest)

Sites Affected:
All these sites are broken:

animekai.to, .bz

animetsu.cc, .to

Animixplaytv.to

hianime.to, .sx, .nz

What I've Already Tried (Nothing Works):

Cleared app cache and data.

Reinstalled Opera.

Restarted my phone.

Checked my internet (it's fine).

Important: The sites work perfectly on Chrome and Firefox on the same phone, so the problem is 100% with Opera.

The issue seems to be with the latest version of the app. It's like the browser can't connect to the video servers on these specific sites anymore.

Has anyone found a fix for this? Or is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Maybe if more people report it, Opera will notice and push a fix.

Thanks for any help!
