I have no clue what happened but when I reset my PC, it now comes up with this error. Any clues on what happened?

Link to video page?

What OS? If Windows, what version of Windows and is it an "N" edition of that version?

Does https://html5test.com/ show "yes" for h.264 and aac? If yes, goto the URL opera://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode, disable the flag and restart Opera. If that doesn't help, goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration and restart.

@burnout426 Any twitter videos come up with this error. Windows and it's the N version
Disabled the video decode thing and the hardware acceleration but it still doesn't work.

@skyvi If it's a N version, you need to download and install the media package as already said.

it's the N version

You have to download and install (or just enable, depending on your version of Windows) the Windows Media Feature Pack. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions-c1c6fffa-d052-8338-7a79-a4bb980a700a. Then, it should say "yes" for h.264 and aac at htps://html5test.com/.

Disabled the video decode thing and the hardware acceleration but it still doesn't work.

Make sure to reenable those.
