I'm running MacOS Monterey v. 12.6; Opera version 91.0.4516.16 (x86_64). When I try to play a video from a website, I sometimes get the following error: There was an issue with accessing the network for media playback. The sub-error code will contain what specific resource was unable to be accessed over the network. | NETWORK_ERROR encountered, code: 1400.
This doesn't happen on all websites, only some. In this case, it's CNN.com. Turning off Ad Blocker eliminates the problem, but I don't want to keep Ad Blocker off. The page works fine in Google Chrome. How can I set an exception for the website so Ad Blocker doesn't block video playback?

I’ve done that, and it works. But I obviously don’t want to keep it off. What can I do so it will work properly without crippling another function? -

@johnnybill You can enable your extensions one by one until you find the cause of the problem.

I know what is causing the problem. I want to know how to fix it, so I can use the ad blocker. Once again, I know it’s the ad blocker that is causing the problem. I just want to fix it. Can anyone please help me with this? The problem isn’t that I don’t know what the cause is; the problem is that I want to be able to use the ad blocker, and still be able to view videos. Clear enough? -

@johnnybill First thing would be to test with other adblockers to see if they also cause the issue.
If so, then it's probably up to the site to fix it. On the other hand, if other adblockers aren't triggering the same problem, then you need to report it to the authors of the adblocker that is causing the issue for it to be fixed.

@leocg Thanks! You finally solved my problem! I disabled Opera's ad blocker and installed AdBlockPlus. Now the videos work.
