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!

@jimunderscorep
Just tried it and yep, it don't work!

Guess I'll just have to wait....

In the mean time using Chrome Firefox and Vivaldi which have no video problems.
Wish Opera would get this issue corrected.

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?
