I recently installed Opera GX and absolutely fell in love with it. The amazing sidebar shortcuts and the entire gaming feel, caught me in. I got everything setup, some extensions etc. And everything was working fine.
Except since 2 days ago. None of the videos on Twitch, Netflix etc play. There is some issue with either decoding the video or the library it uses just crashes (because I at times see the Page has crashed, please reload)
I have gone through the forum and have literally tried every single solution I could. I will list them below
-
Tried fresh install, incognito mode, new profile, opera stable launch. Basically going back to mint condition. Did not help.
-
Tried removing Widevine as component and reinstalling. Tried copying the one from Chrome. Did not work either. Chrome and Opera GX are using both the same version as well.
-
Tried disabling Hardware Acceleration. Did not work either.
-
Windows version is Windows 10 Pro, 21H1, so do not need the Window Feature pack. Still tried to install it, was incompatible.
-
I have tried allowing cookies, disabling ad blocker, tracker blocker etc.
-
Everything is updated. Windows 10, Opera GX, Nvidia drivers. Have a 3090. Here are the version info
Opera GX: LVL3 (core: 78.0.4093.186)
Windows: 21H1 (19043.1165)
Any suggestions or solutions would be highly appreciated. Really need the help. I love this browser and now that I have tasted it, I do not want to go back to chrome.
(Chrome has no issues at all)
