Yesterday all videos were playing fine. Today open and run Opera 49.0 Version: 49.0.2725.39 Stable with Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (x86_64; Unity) and just about ALL videos won't play!

What happened and how can I get videos to play again?

Yes the last couple days Opera VPN hasn't had the best stability.
This does seem to happen on occasion.

Here we go again..........

Running Opera 50.0.2762.67 - Opera is up to date.
For about a week or so all videos were playing well, right up to today when all vids refuse to play again!

This is getting pretty old. Wish Opera would address this chronic issue and solve it!

Here we go again. Videos ran fine yesterday. Today no videos play!
However with Firefox and Chrome videos run fine.

Help.....

This is installed:

Just started using it. Glad videos play!

However when going to 'Private browsing' my bookmarks no longer open in private, they go back non-private. Earlier versions allowed all your bookmarks to be viewed in private if you wanted. Is there a way to still do this with Opera 60 when using the Private Window?

Will be more descriptive in the future.

Wish this change was not made. The old way was much easier where it was easy to load internal pages from your bookmarks when in private mode.

The last couple weeks been having this happen quite often also!

Get this message with it:

All attempts to reload page fail!
You have to shutdown Opera, restart Opera again until this whole 'Page Crashed' sequence begins again, lately a few minutes later!

This is a real pain, especially when you have several tabs open that all have to be created again and again and again!

What gives???

Opera is my fav browser for many years. Opera 94 is up to date and plays videos great on Ubuntu 20.04 and loads and opens fast.

Upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 which runs great. Installed Opera 94.0.4606.76 up to date and it takes over 2-3 minutes to load and open! Then videos do play but not well or smoothly as they did with Ubuntu 20.04. On 22.04 videos shutter and stunt. Not smooth as they should.

Installed Opera with the deb file as was recommended. Did not use snap because snap caused the same problems as above. Namely took forever to load and open Opera and Vids did not play or look natural.

What has to be done on Ubuntu 22.04 to make Opera 94 run as fine as it did with Ubuntu 20.04?

Running this 'up to date' version of Opera above and it lags, slow to load and does mot play many videos! What's going on?

Prior version of Opera ran great! This new version not so great. Hope it gets resolved quickly.

@leocg I go there and right at top is a blue circle indicating, 'Sites can ask for your location'.

Lower down in, Allowed to see your location: I see: 'https://www.google.com:443
embedded on any host' is allowed.

Google Maps shows me signed in but I cannot go into 2D or 3D functions like when using Chrome, Firefox or like Opera did in the past.

@cybrsaylr When using Chrome or Firefox, you simply open Google Maps, it asks you to sign in, you do that and give permissions and it's done. Everything and all functions work fine.

Opera used to be that way but for some reason not anymore.

@leocg I go into settings page and see Site Settings.
Open that and a big confusing page opens with lots of other who knows what! Go down that and hit another 'additional Site Settings' open that to many more confusing things that who knows what they are for!

As I said all this is quite confusing!

@cybrsaylr This was no problem when using Google Maps with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. All functions worked fine.

This problem began when using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.

@leocg Did that and get a page: Privacy and security/Location, with much below that I can't make sense of.

Very confusing.

@leocg Went into settings, then full settings, then advanced setting and could not find 'content' or 'location' anywhere.

Using latest Opera: Version:99.0.4788.13 but can't use all functions of Google Maps, such as 2D and 3D as you can using Chrome and Firefox.

On Chrome and Firefox you sign into Google Maps and all functions work.

But on Opera I can't use the 2D and 3D functions.
You get this message from Opera: "Google Maps does not have permission to use your location."

How do you correct this for Opera and give this permission to Google Maps?

@cybrsaylr

Running Version: 95.0.4635.37 Opera is up to date

Still having problems. Opera 95 still takes over 2-3 minutes to load and open! Then videos do play but not well or smoothly as they did with Ubuntu 20.04. On 22.04 videos shutter and stunt. Not smooth as they should.

Have Ubuntu 20.04 on another SSD in my system which loads fast and plays all videos great, as they should.

Can anyone help and give me the fix for running Opera as good on Ubuntu 22.04?
