Symptom
Problem started like a month ago. Videos (Youtube, Twtich) played back in the browser randomly stop for no reason at all. I have to manually press the play button again to start them.
It's not an internet issue, the videos are not buffering. They just stop, like if someone had pressed the stop or pause button. It's very random, sometimes it doesn't happen for hours, than it just does it again.

Since then I have reinstalled the browser, cleared browser data (except passwords and autofill data), disabled all extensions - including Opera's own adblocker. None of it seemed to help. I have a fairly strong PC (i9, gtx 1060, 32 gigs of ram), and Windows 10 with up to date drivers. Other browsers don't seem to have the problem. I'm open to any help and suggestions. I love the browser, I have used it for years, I would prefer not to switch.

@defaultlife It's very very strange. I was anxious that it might be a problem just on my end, but I guess not. Thanks for the info, let's hope for a quick fix! Besides this forum thread I have also made a bug report to the devs, I think it's important that you do the same.

I have no idea when and what fixed it, but this problem is gone for me for a long time now (more than a year for sure). I didn't have any hardware changes on my pc, so it had to be an automatic software update.

@kallenavn I'm still testing, it was very random for me. Thanks for your report!

@kallenavn Thanks for your detailed description. Our problem is similar, but not exactly the same, although it seems very likely that they have a common cause. Please send your detailed bug report to the developers. I'm not sure they are reading the forums.
