Download Opera browser with:
X videos not playing in new Linux Mint OS
I can watch X videos on this old windows computer fine, but on my Laptop, with new Linux Mint OS, the videos refuse to load.
I'm not sure if this is Mint issue (missing codec) or a opera browser issue (missing codec)
AI seems to suggest there is a special hidden codec that is needed but did not say which one ! LOL

They said I hadn't login for many, many days so were about to delete my account. Not sure if this is valid or a scam ?
So i logged in - Hello .
Please don't delete my account, I haven't logged in because Opera just works !
I'll give Opera 3 days to fix this otherwise I'll be looking for a new trustworthy browser.
.
@graywoulf Well YouTube has lost me as a viewer, there's no way their average content is worth the stupid, stupid ads they pump out - it's offensive to me. they are trash.
And in turn, why Opera if i can find another browser that actually blocks "the trash"
Could Opera please recommend a PC OS that isn't trying to undermine users, and works best for Opera ?
(1) Doesn't interfere with Operas ad blockers / Tracker blockers etc
(2) Isn't trying to steal user data.
I know W10 seems to work with Opera ok ? but that's still a MS program, it could subverted at any time.
Thanks
@leocg Netflix seems to work ok.
I just tested running Andor E:12 on my old laptop with W10 .. and it worked Fine !! .. bingo !
aaarrgghh. I just bought a new laptop with a cancerous OS !! W11 !!
@leocg I'm having issues with Andor Ep 12. Then I tested "Guardians of the Galaxy - Xmas Special" and same issue as Andor.
If I click on the Disney icon on my new laptop, it runs those movies ok. I assume it uses the default browser for W11.
I have contacted Disney regarding this problem, they said they would get back to me in a few days. I told them I use Opera.
@leocg It's fresh download of Opera, just a few days ago. i don't think there is any extensions .. but I'll check.
Yes, no Freeze of Opera, just doesn't play / download video. Maybe it's a W11 thing ? I don't trust W11 .. when is Opera going to make a Pc OS ?
@leocg hmmmm, tried removing Track blockers, still froze. Then I tried removing Ad Blocker, still froze.
hmmmm..
it goes - Blue screen, "Disney Plus" logo, then rainbow beam logo (white), sound effect. Then "Original" below that. Then nothing, loading appears to be stopped as i need to click the "play" icon, to start loading. Then i get a spinning circle, loading cursor for about 10 seconds, then the screen is black with a smaller Disney Plus logo .. and frozen.
hmmm. ..am I missing a add-on ?
@leocg No, but I cannot see how that would help ?
I can run Netflix ok, so i assumed it was Disney+ problem .. but then I tested a different Browser, and Andor played ok ..so .. ???
I will try disabling stuff.
I wonder if certain channels are targeting non-compliant browsers, those who block ads. ???
Does Opera ad blocking block YouTube adverts ?
Never had any ads before my upgraded Laptop to OS W11, but now I seem to be bombarded by ads.
Any help appreciated.
I bought a new laptop, upgraded my broadband to 250MBPS ..but now Opera freezes up when I try to watch the last episode on Andor on DisneyPlus. I know the problem is with Opera because I was able to actually watch the episode on my laptops default browser.
Opera worked fine before all my upgrades.
PC laptop, new OS - Win11, old OS Win10. Old broadband speed - 40 MBPS.
Any help appreciated.
