@leocg For future reference, the codec of the failed video is this (from Stats for nerds):
Video ID / sCPN **************/ EZ61 J81N W9WM 3699 2W3G Viewport / Frames 777x437 / 0 dropped of 600 Current / Optimal Res 256x144@30 / 256x144@30 Volume / Normalized 100% / 100% (content loudness -0.1dB) Codecs avc1.4d400c (160) / opus (251) -

What does https://html5test.opensuse.org/ in Opera say for h.264 and opus?

@burnout426 it says it has both of them. However, I have now installed the codecs externally. I wish I had checked this before installing the codecs so that I could see whether my Opera lacked codecs for them or not.
Anyways, now I can watch all previously failed videos. Though it still lacks some codecs like h.265:opensuse.org says:
video element Yes ✔ Subtitles Yes ✔ Audio track selection No ✘ Video track selection No ✘ Poster images Yes ✔ Codec detection Yes ✔ Video codecs MPEG-4 ASP support No ✘ H.264 support Yes ✔ H.265 support No ✘ Ogg Theora support No ✘ WebM with VP8 support Yes ✔ WebM with VP9 support Yes ✔ -

@victorxstc In the previous posts, the log seems to show that the problem was with the AAC codec.

@leocg All reports are for the same video. is it possible that Youtube has changed the codec of the said video from AAC to H.264?

@victorxstc Nope, because AAC is an audio codec and H264 is a video codec.
Usually they are together.
If you change your YouTube settings to use AV1 on low resolution videos, does anything changes?

What specifically did you install?

@leocg Thanks for explanation.

Apparently it needs me to sign into my Youtube account. I am using Opera without an account.
I logged into my account and set it to always use AV1. But no change happened. Please note that my problem was resolved a couple of days ago after installing external codecs; so we should have tested this AV1 setting beforehand.

@victorxstc Try the option that I mentioned, to use AV1 for low resolution.

@leocg There was no such an option. The only available ones were these:
AV1 settings Auto (recommended) Prefer AV1 for SD Always prefer AV1 -

@victorxstc Okay. Usually codec packs like that only provide DirectShow codecs that wouldn't help with Opera as Opera uses the Windows Media Foundation instead. But, if things are working for you now, might as well go with it.

@leocg changed the settings but nothing happened again. Again, I think it is a bit too late for this test. I should check this out in the next installation of Windows and Opera (when the issue exists again).
