@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?

@victorxstc said in Most Youtube videos work perfectly but a few Youtube videos not working in Opera:

However, I have now installed the codecs externally.

What specifically did you install?

@leocg Thanks for explanation.

If you change your YouTube settings to use AV1 on low resolution videos, does anything changes?*

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 It's the second one.

@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).
