the default app for opening youtube links ? it used to be the case round the time of jellybean that all videos from youtube would open the youtube app, but that was back when I was using opera mobile a.k.a opera classic. now that I've made the switch to opera for Android v30 I miss this feature as youtube video playback is total s**t. the videos show bright green and pink hues only and are unwatchable. all knowledgeable help welcome. waits for garion |

Isn't it in settings where you choose all your default programs for music video PDFs etc?

not quite, usually when selecting a file or service Android will give you a list of applicable apps to open it with. at that stage you can choose whether to select something this time only or for always. but from inside the browser I use you don't get that because it's capable of playing videos (supposedly). it's fine with everything except youtube videos which are mostly unwatchable... |

you're not given the option to select anything in opera when clicking a youtube link, there's never been any dialogue even on previous versions that did open the youtube app. clearing opera's defaults will just clear it from being the system default browser.

btw - on a related point, since there's no internal way to clear the cache in the latest builds of Opera, check it out in your application manager sometimes, as it can get quite large - I cleared mine the other day and it was 126mb

From what ive seen on opera forums you can enable off road mode to fix that problem.

I'm using off road mode but it still plays them internally. Basically it behaves like a normal browser.

maybe on an earlier version ? it doesn't work now, plus they've renamed it turbo mode...
