Fix for Windows 7 crash and <video>

February 21, 2010 · by Haavard

Here's another Windows build.

HTML5 <video> should be working again, and we reverted the fix that caused the crashes in Windows 7. The changelog is basically:

Fixed: DSK-282162 <video> element no longer working
Reverted fix: DSK-278062 File icons in the download dialog are stretched

You can now watch the video from Friday's Mac build on Windows too.

Thanks to those of you who gave us feedback on upgrading for the previous build! Do let us know if anyone finds any further problems when upgrading.

Keep reporting crashes as well!

WARNING: This is a development snapshot: it contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

Great, didn't want to install the previous build because of the Win. 7 crash known issue (although I have thumbnails disabled)

Using the context menu button on the keyboard in a text field does open the right menu, but the spelling options are missing (add word, remove word, the suggestions, the "Dictionaries" menu et cetera). Known issue, or should I report it?

Hello, will there be geolocation support again?

They mentioned they were changing the geolocation provider, so it sounds like the feature is really to roll once that issue is sorted out.
Rafał Miłecki21. February 2010, 12:36
Do you have some plans (expected time?) for introducing video seeking?
Honza21. February 2010, 12:37
Thanks for answer. I'm looking forward to it.

Upgrade Failure... 10.1 to 10.5 XP SP3, MSI

Usually (at least previously) it was toolbar.ini... so deleting that worked... this time, deleting that, operaprefs, sessions, etc... still fails...

Sent a report...

Msi install had the same prob as previous build, when to install, progress bar never moved and I had to kill 6 or 7 procceses.
That was while the install dir was \Opera v10.50\, and not my main browser dir.

When set to \Opera\ it wanted to repair my install.

Both setups were the previous build, both had there prefs ini set for each dir.

So it's sctually worse then before.

Classic installer worked perfect while in the \Opera v10.50\ folder.
However it tries to pick C:\ as default even when it should know that my main browser/opera is on H:\.

It seems most of "my" previous issues are still around.
And it seems slower maybe, it defently seems slower from min use then the alpha builds.

Also, if you are going to be promoting HTML5 Video... for *~~expletive~~* sake... swap the the "Media Sound Off" and "Media Sound On" icons... it's a 30 second job...

If I upgrade from my 10.10 bookmark file (about 250KB) it gots shrinked to ~50KB and a loot of bookmarks is missing
Nico21. February 2010, 13:04
Thanks a lot for the new Build

Everytime I try to watch the movie from Friday, Opera freezes and I need to kick the process (Windows 7 x64). I upgraded from Friday's Windows Snapshot, if that matters.

Still problem in e-mail client: if you double click a message title in message list, an empty window opens. When you switch View -> Display -> Prefer Plain text / HTML, the message appears, but the tool bar seems to be inadequate: no previous/next button

Yeah, sorry... it wouldn't start, just show the crash report dialog.

Going through each of the start-up options, no change... I'll try again later and try and narrow it down, all I know is that it's something in the 10.1 profile... deleting it entirely...started fine...

In other news, upgrading 10.5 3263 to 3266... but this may not be Opera's fault... 2 of my RSS feeds reset their %whatever% that tells them what I have read or not... both LifeHacker and Slashdot (in case anyone else has those and it's the RSS feeds themselves), reset to about 12 hours ago.

Did you add your e-mail address (the one you use in your profile)? I may be able to search the crash database.

Oh, and could everyone please try to focus on the actual snapshot? This is not the right place to post or discuss requests.

I removed the offtopic post seeing you guys removed the others.

Yes... and the "Last Page" was also MAIL WINDOW (irrelevant, but if it helps)

Are you using a desktop firewall or other ad-blocking software that might restrict access to Google Analytics?

1.
Windows Live Hotmail not working

upgrade from previous build.. This problem exists starting from build 3261. Before that everything ok. Windows 7 Prof 32bit.

2.
Cookies problem

when opera crash, the cookies all lost. Sometimes I can't login facebook or blogger because those sites report that my functional cookies are not turned on. I go to Preference and choose "accept cookies", but problem still persist.

Anyone can confirm?
illiad21. February 2010, 14:13
Um, do you REALLY NEED Google Analytics ???? I find it slows down many sites.....
