Hi,

i like some time to play videos from Youtube when i play games, but when i open a game or open more taps in opera the video it self freeze but the audio still working and when i try to pause it and play it again the video and sound freezes the only thing to fix it is to refresh the tap 2 or 3 times.

I tried another web browsers but didn't get this issue, and i'm suffering from this issue over like 6 months.

If anyone got fix please share, i tried troubleshooting like disable hardware acceleration or extensions but didn't help.

Hi,

I just did fresh install of windows 10 and downloaded latest version of opera 72.0.3815.400.
and everying this is working except Adblock is not working, i tried uninstall and install again but still not working, tried multiple website still all of them had ads, i checked the settings adblock and block trackers are enabled.

Can someone help me with this issue?

@nvmjustagirl I'll wait couple of updates and see it they fixed the issue with re-enable hardware acceleration

@ocirnes lol He also said this This fix helped me, but what's the benefit of Hardware-accelerated video decode if lagging like that?
And it will effect on another websites like Vimeo if i kept it disabled?

i'm sure he wants to keep Hardware-accelerated video decode... maybe he doesn't like a load on his GPU !
but i guess not you since ya got same problem... just because you gave up doesn't mean he will.. lol

I want to keep it enabled if it will help decode the video better and gives more benfits.
but issue cause by hardware-accelerated video decode but they need to fix it so i can enable it again in future.

@aii-s Disable hardware-accelerated video decode by typing this
opera://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode
into the address bar and pressing enter. Then you have the possiblity to deactivate it.
It should fix your problem.

@aii-s most videos on youtube are encoded with VP9/VP8 codec, That means older GPUs can't decode VP8 or VP9 at all.. unless your video card supports it..

This extension will make YouTube stream H.264 videos instead of VP8/VP9 videos.. Extension is called - H264ify - found here

But ya will need to install this chrome extension to Opera 1st called - Install Chrome Extensions - found here

My GPU can decode VP9/VP8, i have GTX 960 it's from Nvidia Maxwell family GM206.
but i will try your extension if i face this issue again.

I have same issue here, but also freeze in different websites too not just FB.

Using Opera v52.0.2871.30

I disabled hardware acceleration and i don't see any flicker for now
But i think hardware acceleration should make video more smother not flickering

Can anyone help me here?
