Opera GX unsupported media player

I just encountered this issue that should be addressed and implemented to make the browser competitive rather than simply different from the rest.
I went to this website - ( https://www.warhammer-community.com/warhammer-animation-astartes/ ) and it showed this error:

@leocg No, Pro.
I don't think nor believe it would've been anything to do with it, considering it depends from browser and not OS...entirely two different things. And like I wrote, it plays on Edge, it doesn't play on Mozilla and Opera GX, especially the error that basically says that browser is not supporting it. -

@leocg In this case, it looks like there's a problem with the audio. Happens in Firefox too. So, something is wrong with the media. Vivaldi seems to handle it, so it might be possible for Opera to work around the issue. Chrome fully using ffmpeg handles it fine of course because ffmpeg is so forgiving and robust.
Will see if a dev can look at it.

Yea. Today at work, where we use Chrome, I checked there as well, and on Chrome it works just as fine as on Edge. Just the Firefox and Opera doesn't seem to. But glad the issue has been narrowed down.

Just in case you didn't see this comment in the Mozilla bug report, the problem is that the aac audio in the file is 96kHz, which is more than the Windows Media Foundation AAC decoder is supposed to support. That's why Opera can't play it either. But, that sampling rate support list seems to be outdated. So, Opera and Firefox might eventually be able to remove their > 48kHz check and let the Windows Media Foundation play it on versions of Windows that support > 48kHz.

Still not being able to play. I get this when I close on the cross in the corner.
Before I press it it shows the same what was before.
Update: Wait...I just checked what version of Opera GX I have, and it's only LVL2 (core: 73.0.3856.427) not 76... The version you mentioned is for regular Opera? Because I use GX, and the version is way far ahead of 73 that you mentioned.

@smaddeus Yes. You'll have to wait for the fix to reach Opera Gx, which will be some time after it reaches the stable version of regular Opera.
