I don't know how Avast is behaving now because I just "refreshed" Win8.1 and didn't install additional protection yet. IE uses ActiveX Flash and Chrome uses PPAPI so that's why they were not affected. While with PPAPI Flash (beta version in the Dev Opera stream) it was normal like other browsers (up to ~10%) and Opera could "breath". It occurred with NPAPI Flash, it was very bad on Firefox too.

For 480p (and higher) videos NPAPI Flash on Opera uses ~80% of my CPU and if I left Avast enabled the process manager would point to it using +25% of the CPU as the video streamed and that split is impossible of course it means it went above 100% of CPU usage in total, delaying processing causing lag/stutter. Ok, I was just asking because in my PC Avast was giving me problems.
But it's best if others who have Windows 8.1 comment on that aspect. I don't believe Windows 8.1 should be an impediment to enjoing YouTube in Opera.

It's my recollection that generally the YouTube problems have related to simple things, such as the person not having the latest update (gotten by going to the flash website in the Opera browser), or through having turbo mode enabled. Perhaps, someone else will comment on this thread - if they use Windows 8.1, whether they have YouTube problems. Since I use Windows 7, I just haven't focused on it. There may be an issue with Windows 8.1 and YouTube for Opera. You can always reset it to "disable," after trouble-shooting - if the change doesn't help you. So I though maybe you should go to Opera://flags and enable that feature, to see if it makes a difference for you. The approach for him that worked was finding in Chrome://flags "Disable hardware-accelerated video decode" and enabling. March had jerky vimeo video, and he said his problem was solved as a result of advice given at: In that thread I cited in my last post, James C. Do a virus and malware scan? Let's rule out that something like that is affecting Opera's video playback performance.
Also, make sure turbo mode is not activated (in your menu).ĭ. (fyi my setting in Opera://flags is not "enabled" and I'm having no problem with YouTube videos, but we may well have different operating systems, computer resources, etc.).Ĭ. I'm not an expert on it, but in this thread, it seemed to make a difference, so I'm passing it along as something to try. If this doesn't help, you can restore the setting to what was. Open a new tab and go to "Opera://flags"įind "Disable hardware-accelerated video decode" and click "Enable" Restart Opera (I'm using by analogy, something I saw from discussion in this thread. Otherwise, the latest version of Flash may be operating on the other browsers, but not for Opera.ī. Did you go to the Flash website "in the Opera browser," and install the latest version that way. I just wanted to be suggest four additional points for consideration:Ī. Perhaps, you are straining the computer performance. Also, make sure you don't have a lot of tabs open when you are playing YouTube. I assume the issue isn't broadband speed, because YouTube is playing fine in other browsers. No stuttering or choppy video performance. Does your computer meet the minimum requirements for Opera 22? I use Windows 7, with 8 ram, 64 bits system, and I have no problem at all with flash videos. I'm assuming for this discussion you are using Opera Blink (the latest stable version is version 22, so if not, let us know.
