Problem sorted. Went back to the official Opera download - and redownloaded the Opera browser software and problem resolved!
Looking like another broken Opera update caused the problem

GeneralYou tube not playing in Opera One
I click on the saved tile - You Tube opens it looks as if the saved file is about to play then simply stalls. If you copy and paste it to another browser the link works as advertised.
What on earth have Opera broken this time - and does anyone have a step by step fix please??

@captainhindenberg In what sadly is becoming a daily routine v102 updated, doesn't work. Duly deleted and V101 installed and everything works!
Opera - please get your act together - sort out V102 and turn off Auto updates until you
do.Otherwise it's sadly Edge - which seems to have the east problems at present.

@celticcross That was lucky; I'm still in hack had to reset again this morning and sadly, very sadly unless the Opera team come up with a solution (or suspend the auto update) thinking of Firefox

Download opera 101 link here Download Opera 101 from https://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/ Remember to virus check the downloaded software .
On Windows: Go to control panel - programmes and features - select and uninstall Opera, - being careful not to select the uninstall Opera data tick box.
Once this process is complete.
Run the V101 download link that you downloaded earlier and all data should be restored!

BlogsRE: Introducing Opera 102
Having rolled back to V101 yesterday and speed tabs and book marks restored (RESULT!) Auto update took me back to V102 overnight and sigh - no bookmarks and totally auto generated ( and useless ) speed tabs.
Uninstalled V102 again - being careful not to select the uninstall Opera data tick box. and reinstalled V101 again and everything works.
Wondering if Opera will fix this shambles, or if this will become a daily ritual, or my patience will snap and I will follow the growing trend and switch to FireFox?
Any chance of a helpful comment from anybody on the Opera team around this ongoing Farrago with V.102 ??

@opera-comments-bot Just a pity that the v.`102 update wipes all bookmarks and previous stored speed tabs.
I removed V102 via my control panel, being carefull to retain all data. Then reinstalled V101 and everything worked.
