Re: Videos won't play

I saw an old topic about this and was going to reply there but it asked me to start a new topic as it was quite old.

I am using OPERA 51.0 and have an awful time playing videos from any site. Most times I just get an error or it will start playing then stop half way through and say it's not available in my country. You Tube seems to be OK but that's about it. This is very frustrating. To see the video I have to open Chrome. I like the features in Opera but shouldn't have to open a different browser to watch videos. Any help appreciated.

@burnout426 said in Outlook mail opening tabs in Opera:

opera://settings/content/cookies
Well that was easy....lol. I disabled all the extensions and noticed one there for Outlook Speed dial which I have never used. I turned that one back on right away and all the tabs started opening again. I disabled it and then deleted it. Will be interesting to see if it comes back. I know I didn't put it there.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

Thank you again.

Thank you so so much. Lots of info there. It worked doing your first 2 suggestions about turning off VPN and adblock. I have kept your reply on my laptop so I won't lose it. I'm great at that.

Thank you again. Much appreciated.

but the start page is a speed dial is it not? a couple of websites I go to on Opera either don't work or it will not accept the url.. I copied the url from Chrome to Opera and still got an error trying to log in.
This is all info and things that just don't seem to work the way I think they should.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

When I used Google Chrome I had my own Start page and Google Calendar which started when I opened the browser. Since I'm using Opera now my start page require s me to log in every time. Is there a way around this? I've looked in settings but can't find any way there. Thanks for any help.

Hi
I am so sorry. I thought I had replied to your helpful email. Not sure what happened to it.
Anyway, Yes always had to sign in to my start page and my google calendar no longer logged in because they are pushing this new Workspace which I neither need or want but my calendar was now a push for workspace. I would put the exact URL and it was being redirected so I gave up and I am now using my ZOHO calendar which I like better anyway. I now have my start screen signing in without issue now. So I'm good to go.

Thank you so much. I do appreciate your help and apologize for being late.

Hi
This may sound odd but I want to totally do away with speed dial. To me it is horrid and invasive. I don't want it or need it but I've tried all the 'fixes' I see online and nothing works. In settings it says 'Hide Speed dial' but that doesn't work either. I have a new tab page that I love and want to use that. I was able to use my own start page so is there a way to use my own new tab page. They should at least make speed dial an option and not mandatory. Thanks for any help. My browser is Version:93.0.4585.37

@burnout426 Thank you so much. Sorry I'm late replying but - priorities right? I asked a friend of mine to help and he read your reply and fixed it so it seems to be running perfectly now. Thanks again.

I got a new windows 11 Pro computer a week ago. Downloaded the latest Opera and proceeded to do what I needed to do.
It started giving me those "This site cannot be reached" messages and now every site I try to get to I get that message. I can't even get to google to download chrome. I've ran the troubleshooter 2 or 3 times to no avail. I've followed other instructions but nothing seems to work. It talks about a Proxy server but I don't know what that is. Any help would be awesome. Thank you. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

@orshee I am also having this problem. Such a waste of time. This is a brand new computer. When I first put opera on it I

Simple but elegant. Love the muted colors. Very soothing

@dismond
I totally agree. It's not rocket science

@leocg
I don't have a problem with the start page. It's the new tab page that I have a problem with but it's ok. I've gone back to chrome. It works ok....just slow.

@oddssatisfy
As far as opening a new tab, yes I am still having this issue.
