I am re-trying Opera out after a long time away. I am currently using Vivaldi but it appears that Opera may be quicker.

Unfortunately Linkedin.com is having trouble in Opera. I am getting this error message on certain posts: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

I loaded this website up on Vivaldi and there were no errors. What could be happeining and what can I do to fix? FWIW, I am not using the ad blocking function nor any ad blocking extensions.

@mchipeur Does it happen only on LinkedIn?

@leocg I just found a recent forum post that is probably related. The post indicates that Opera for Linux doesn't play h.264 videos based on it being "proprietary" codec. This is odd because Vivaldi doesn't have any issues with these LinkedIn videos. Here is the url:
