@furrynutz I reinstalled and when I change to dark theme and play a video it still crashes within 1 - 2 seconds. Back to light theme and everything is fine.

Hey @rtomasz

Just updated and everything was working fine and playing videos.

Switched to dark theme and played a youtube video and crashed within about 5 seconds.

Switched back to light theme, and currently have 5 youtube tabs open playing videos with no problems.

Does anyone else use the black theme? After the updated and recovered Opera was set to the white theme by default - and videos seemed to play.

I changed back to black theme and videos stopped for me.. changed back to white and voila!

Could maybe help someone else's issue?

This is really weird but just yesterday after posting in here I 'updated and recovered' Opera and reset all my flags back to default.

Without adding any extensions back in and only importing my bookmarks I have been watching a Youtube video for 4 hours now with no problems (was crashing within 2 or 3 seconds for the past few months).

This has been happening to me for around 2 months now, with every update I hope this is fixed but no luck

Currently using:

Version:63.0.3368.88
Opera is up to date
Update stream:Stable
System:Mac OS X 10.13.6 64-bit

I have un installed, re installed, created new accounts, disabled extension, cleared caches and nothing seems to work.

I love this browser but its getting to that point now.
