So in the last two days or so, it seems that iPlayer no longer works in Opera. By that I mean when I load up a programme to play, where there should be the content window with a still picture of the program and the play button, there's just a black box, as if nothing is loading up. I've checked with Firefox, Chrome and IE and they all work perfectly fine. I've the latest Flash installed and all my browsers are up-to-date. I've not changed anything with Opera or my AV/FW. I can't understand what's happened to stop iPlayer from working with Opera.

Does anyone else who is an Opera user have this problem? I'd like to know if I'm alone or is this a common problem. :confused::o
 
Never had that problem with Opera. I've just checked and it works fine here using v12.00. Have you tried deleting all private data or a clean reinstallation of Opera?

I had a look in the Block Content menu and there was some Javascript file listed in there for the iPlayer site. I made a copy of the details, in case it wasn't the cause, and deleted it. Videos loaded up fine no problem after that. So how on earth did that get in there? Or was it in there from months ago when I last installed Opera and had set up the filtering settings but it was only in the last days or so that the BBC did something that meant that anyone blocking that file wouldn't be able to load vids?
