@hirwaunman Just tried Vivaldi (and this chrome based browser was developed from Opera) it streams Paramount and my other streaming sites without any errors!

@hirwaunman I don't really want to but, it looks like I will have to dump Opera and go with Edge, because I cannot use streaming sites on Opera! I have used Opera for years and will be sorry to dump it, but life goes on and I will just have to go with it!
Thank you all for your help!

@hirwaunman Perhaps the fact that my Opera version is 103, and I cannot get Opera to update to version 107 which is the latest stable update? Is there a way to update by downloading this update and then installing it over my current version (I don't want to lose all my settings by doing a clean install).
I don't understand why my system will not update to the latest stable version of Opera? I have a fairly powerful PC with plenty of Ram and Hard Drive space and run Windows 10 pro.

@blackbird71 Been away for the day so only just tried your suggestions - No dice, none of them work?
Anyway Microsoft Edge is also developed from Chrome and it plays streaming videos perfectly!
And it is not just Paramount but Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney - None of them can be streamed?
Opera worked without problems up until 2 or 3 days ago with the Add Blocker and hardware acceleration and the Tracker on! Restarting the system does not fix it either?
My conclusion is that the fault is not with the streaming services but with Opera!

@leocg Windows 10 pro - Yes, it is supported! This is an Opera problem. Edge works fine.
2 days ago Opera stopped , and that error code 3304 was posted from Opera! Nothing has changed in my OS or on my system?

@leocg It's 107 today, but I can't access it for some reason? 103 is the latest update I can get?

@leocg If you are asking me what that error code is - I have no idea?
All I know is this is a problem with Opera as my other browsers will stream with no problems?
Though I did get a message saying that my Opera browser was an old version and would not work because it needed updating. But my version is Version:90.0.4480.103 which is the latest according to Opera? Anyway it worked without problems up until yesterday?

I am using Opera latest version - I have used this browser for years and used Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney and lately Paramount without any problems streaming. But yesterday Opera would not let me run any content from these streaming sites, I keep getting error code 3304.

I have run Paramount and Amazon Prime and Netflix on the Edge browser without any problems today, but Opera still gives the error 3304?

I have not changed anything in Opera that would cause this, and all my other saved sites run without any problems, even BBC iPlayer, and Sky Go?

Any idea what is wrong please?

Thank you for the answer I needed, can I ask you, is this site run by Opera, or is it a fan based forum? The reason I ask is if it is run by Opera Devs, then there should be a requests area where we can ask for these features and others to be considered in a future version?

@leocg With the greatest respect, that doesn't answer my questions? There is no realistic way to duplicate the information on each dial background ever if it were possible to fiddle around with the dial which I doubt would work?
If you know different then please give some details of how to do this - I am very good with graphics programs!

I know this has been asked before probably several times, but I have never read an answer? It would be very useful to be able to change the colour of the speed dial boxes to a preferred colour so that certain similar sites could be grouped together. I have 60 speed dial sites on screen. If this cannot be done please let me know? But if it is something that can be implemented in a future version then please give me an idea when?

I really think that many users would like this feature to be added to Opera!

@leocg Do you think I should uninstall and reinstall Opera to see if that works? The only problem with doing that is I would loose all my speed dials (48 of them).

@leocg Are you going to the Forum page? The tab for the forum is on the bar at top of the page.
The forum page keeps loading and unloading as soon as I access it! This has been happening for several weeks.

I visit a Website forum http://www.pixarra.com (go to forum at top of home page).
this forum is useful for my art hobby.
But on Opera when visiting the site the home page keeps loading and unloading over and over, so I have to leave the site and use Microsoft Edge witch has no problem accessing it properly.
I disabled the Add blocker and checked my attachments but the same problem occurred?
Up until about 3 weeks ago Opera opened this site with no problems?
Any advice please?

@hirwaunman Bump!

I keep getting this error message when trying to access SKY e-mail:

Oops! Something went wrong
It looks like your browser is blocking cookies.

Please change your browser settings to allow cookies when logging into Sky.

If this problem continues, contact customer services.

Error Number: 289

I have checked several times in settings on Opera and cookies are fully enabled for all sites.
Microsoft Edge has no problem accessing this site, so the problem is with Opera.

Anyone have a solution to this problem please?

@burnout426 Add Blocker switched off solves the problem, but like others I do not like sharing my data! The Edge Browser has no problem running Disney+ movies, so I would say that the Opera Add Blocker is the problem when using Opera? Until very recently Opera worked flawlessly with D+ even with the Add Blocker running,

@hirwaunman You have my genuine thanks for your help!

I'll be honest, when I first read your suggestions I thought no way they were going to work? But the first one I tried was disabling the add blocker and tracking software, and it worked!
But why add blocking (Disney Plus doesn't run any adds) and tracking (well who knows?).
So very often the less obvious things work!
I would never have thought of this solution, and I am still a little in the dark as to why it worked? ..... X Files anyone?

I am using the latest version of Opera 64 bit, I have used Opera for many years.
Recently I re-signed on Disney Plus streaming service, I have used Disney on Opera many times in the past without any problems.
In trying to watch a movie or any other show I found that after a few minutes of play the screen would freeze and nothing would stream without freezing. If I waited a short while (Minutes) the stream would start again, but after a few more minutes it would freeze again.
Nothing I tried even changing settings helped to stop this problem, Netflix and Amazon Prime has no problems running correctly on Opera, and Disney Plus works perfectly on the EDGE browser?
I have 32 gig of memory and an eight core processor and fairly high end graphics card also plenty of hard drive space, running Windows 10 pro latest build!
Anyone know what is going wrong with Opera?
