Youtube creates cookie which disables Opera

[Supacasey]

I read the title as well as most of the thread as "Oprah".

[QUOTE=Onlyonebowman;20820631]I thought Opera had a huge backdoor?[/QUOTE]

Including this.

This thread is 4weeks old, i'm sure it's fixed by now

It's still broken for me.

Master, try clearing your cookies, updating opera, and if all else fails delete quicktime.

(it's funny that this was bumped though because now I can't watch videos because it's telling me to update my fully updated flash player... I can only watch them by going to the uploader's profile) if it's the flash error, then you have to do this.

Fuck, I've just got the bug too.
Seems like YouTube updated something.

Here's a quick fix if your really desperate to watch YouTube videos:

1. Right-click and select Source
2. Find this:

var forceUpdate = false;
yt.setConfig('SWF_CONFIG', swfConfig);
yt.setMsg('FLASH_UPGRADE', 'Old Flash? <a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/">Go upgrade!</a>');
yt.flash.update(swfConfig, forceUpdate);

3. Delete it and click on "Apply Changes"

Maybe someone can whip up a quick userscript for the fix.

window.opera.addEventListener(
'BeforeScript',
function (ev){
ev.element.text = ev.element.text.replace("yt.flash.update(swfConfig, forceUpdate);","");
},

false);
//end

Stolen from some post on youtube and it works. Put in user javascript folder.

I'm hopeless at this kind of thing; would you be able to explain what exactly I'm meant to do with this? I'm getting the same "Go ugrade!" error, and I'd really like a fix.

1. Open notepad.
2. Copy in that code.
3. Save in a folder named something like JS. The file extension needs to be filename.js
4. You need to setup a javascipt folder for opera.
5. Press ctrl + F12

Click javascript options.

At the bottom you need to set a folder.
6. You then put the .js file in that folder.
7. Restart Opera.
8. Done

Cool, it works perfectly.

The javascript fix works.
