          Okay. I tried https://www.vlive.tv/video/154917 and it played fine in Opera. Tried 1080p, 720p and 480p qualities.

                Can your Windows Media player play h.264 files?

                  Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser" and install. Test in that Opera but do not install any extensions and do not enable Opera sync.

                  How do things work there?

                      You can goto the URL opera://settings/system, turn off hardware acceleration, restart and try again. If that doesn't help, turn it back on.

                      Then, if you want, you can play with these flags:

                      opera://flags/#d3d11-video-decoder

                      opera://flags/#use-angle

                        I tried multiple videos on the site, but couldn't find one that doesn't work.

                                  You can also hit ctrl + shift + i to load developer tools and look in the console to see if there are any errors.

                                    Maybe it's a Win7-only issue though, so hopefully someone else can test too.

                                    It might be something outside Opera like security software that's interfering in some way.

                                        You can test in Vivaldi too. If it also doesn't play the videos, it's probably an issue with how Vivaldi and Opera use the Windows Media Foundation to play proprietary media.

                                        Also, even though I didn't need to use it, try opera://flags/#chromium-ua-compatibility to see if it helps you. If it doesn't, turn that off and use https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher-5/ to set a custom UA string of exactly Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/77.0.3865.120 Safari/537.36 to see if it makes a difference.
