I've been happily running Lubuntu on several machines - installed Opera and ran it just fine on those - including YouTube videos.

Hubby installed a fresh copy of Xubuntu on a laptop plus Opera and nope, it will not play YouTube videos.

"Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available."

I've added the YouTube Flash & HTML5 extension and restarted the machine, but it still won't work. I even turned off the VPN and made sure YouTube thinks I'm where I am... But still the same error.

Hubby doesn't like Opera, so won't put any effort into fixing my problem. Can anyone help?

@jeremias333 - I'm glad I'm not the only one, but I had hoped someone would give me some ideas...

Hubby finally looked at it - and although regular videos work, livestreams won't at all. So, I have to use Chrome for those.
