Opera 11.60 Youtube Embedded Videos Not Working?

Hi Folks,
I recently upgraded to Opera 11.60 from an older version, and sadly embedded Youtube videos have stopped working. The [>] icon apears in the center of the video but when I click it nothing happens. Viewing Youtube by itself works fine, just not the embedding for some reason. I use Windows 7 x64, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Got the same problem with the new 11.60, running Vista x32 with latest updates.

I have no problem with YouTube embedded video.
I'm using Opera 11.60 and Windows 7 x86 without SP1.

Having the same issue, I reinstalled Flash Player, Opera Turbo is off, still, just a black rectangle with the video title and the overlaid "Play" icon in the middle, both unusable. (11.6 on Windows 7)

Every video? Say, this video? For me (using 12.00 alpha under Linux, but should probably be the same as 11.60) ...

a) Before clicking on it, I see the preview with an arrow on it - and not Opera's arrow in a circle, it's an arrow in an oblong

b) of course when I do click on it, it works just fine.

If that video does work for you too, then how about a link to one which doesn't?

This one does. And, since yesterday, I found that indeed, some work, like those from this site: npr.org.

Some that don't are here and here, for example.

Currently running 11.60 on Windows XP, both your links work here. Blocked content, perhaps?

Hey, thanks for making me recheck it on my side. I did a more comprehensive Delete Private Data than the one I tried before posting here (pretty sure I tried deleting "Plug-in data" and "entire cache" already, but now I checked everything but the password manager and bookmarks history), and now they all appear as they should.

Yep, that purge solved it. Hooray!

Strange, I only recently cleared everything but the passwords. Might've been just recently before or after the update.
