Yesterday all videos were playing fine. Today open and run Opera 49.0 Version: 49.0.2725.39 Stable with Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (x86_64; Unity) and just about ALL videos won't play!

What happened and how can I get videos to play again?

@leocg
But am on Linux running with Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS .

Yes the last couple days Opera VPN hasn't had the best stability.
This does seem to happen on occasion.

Here we go again..........

Running Opera 50.0.2762.67 - Opera is up to date.
For about a week or so all videos were playing well, right up to today when all vids refuse to play again!

This is getting pretty old. Wish Opera would address this chronic issue and solve it!

Here we go again. Videos ran fine yesterday. Today no videos play!
However with Firefox and Chrome videos run fine.

Help.....

This is installed:

Just started using it. Glad videos play!

However when going to 'Private browsing' my bookmarks no longer open in private, they go back non-private. Earlier versions allowed all your bookmarks to be viewed in private if you wanted. Is there a way to still do this with Opera 60 when using the Private Window?

Will be more descriptive in the future.

Wish this change was not made. The old way was much easier where it was easy to load internal pages from your bookmarks when in private mode.

The last couple weeks been having this happen quite often also!

Get this message with it:

All attempts to reload page fail!
You have to shutdown Opera, restart Opera again until this whole 'Page Crashed' sequence begins again, lately a few minutes later!

This is a real pain, especially when you have several tabs open that all have to be created again and again and again!

What gives???

Opera is my fav browser for many years. Opera 94 is up to date and plays videos great on Ubuntu 20.04 and loads and opens fast.

Upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 which runs great. Installed Opera 94.0.4606.76 up to date and it takes over 2-3 minutes to load and open! Then videos do play but not well or smoothly as they did with Ubuntu 20.04. On 22.04 videos shutter and stunt. Not smooth as they should.

Installed Opera with the deb file as was recommended. Did not use snap because snap caused the same problems as above. Namely took forever to load and open Opera and Vids did not play or look natural.

What has to be done on Ubuntu 22.04 to make Opera 94 run as fine as it did with Ubuntu 20.04?

May have solved that frequent crashing problem.

My desktop PC is a first generation Dell i7 purchased back in 2009 with 8 GBs of RAM. It still runs great. In fact since putting in all SSDs it runs better now than when it was new!

Anyways I do push it now. Run a few browsers besides Opera and have sometimes 30 tabs open, or more, when running them. My System Monitor shows most of the 8 Gigs of RAM used and some had to go into the Swap file for help. Well Opera acts a bit quirky then, stalls has trouble keeping up and then crashes a lot. Firefox, Brave and Vivaldi run more stable by comparison while doing this and never crashed.

So since RAM is cheap, got and installed and now have 16 GBs of RAM. PC recognized it in both Linux and Windows with no problem. Noted a marked improvement in PC performance overall. And so far Opera has not crashed once and runs better than before. Maybe that was the issue all along when pushing PC like I have.

@leocg
How and what do I rename it to?
This is all very new and confusing to me.

@leocg
How do I do that?

@cybrsaylr
Well updated Opera today to, Opera One(version: 115.0.5322.77) Opera is up to date.
Hoping that would correct all this crashing issues but a couple minutes ago Opera crashed again!

In the process of restarting Opera reloading all my tabs again.
This is really getting pretty annoying........

@leocg
Hope it gets corrected.
Opera is my fav browser and some times I have 20+ tabs open that worked fine. Then Opera crashes and I have to restart and reload all those tabs! That's a real pain!

@cybrsaylr

Well Opera just crashed again a minute ago!

@cybrsaylr
Opera just crashed again a minute ago.
Had about 10 tabs open that have to be reloaded all over again.
This is pretty annoying.

@cybrsaylr Where was my problem moved to and why?
