Just an FYI, this is also affecting Windows 10 systems. It is not limited to Windows 7.

@leocg I think the videos have something in common, that have ratings of viewers over 18 years of age, maybe this has some effect on the error.
Referred to the operating system, I think that is not the problem since in Google Chrome the videos are seen correctly, and it is used in the same webkit. In addition, it only happens in some videos since the last Opera update. I have been an Opera user since 2002 and it has never happened.

There are some video and audio fixes in general and for Win7 in Opera Developer 69.0.3623.0 at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2020/03/opera-69-0-3623-0-developer-update/ if you want to test before they reach beta and stable.

@Alphablake Of course a Google company would tell you to use a Google browser.

@Alphablake By your post at https://forums.opera.com/post/202095, are you saying you tried things in Opera 69 and you still can't play any videos?

Does it help if you refresh the page?
I started experiencing the same problem recently with youtube videos.
But it happens only sometimes, and after refreshing the page video is playing fine.
But I'm using O58. Win 8.1x64- I don't remember such errors ~2 -3 weeks ago, but now I get these errors not often but regularly, mainly when I opens video from Google search results. Often I see the error and do nothing, after few seconds video starts playing
