Thanks for finding that! I'll try it out.

Hey,

I actually got to trying it out now,

seems to work! After installing that pack for Windows N on my win7 64bit, restarting, now! I.e. videos, and whole websites, that did not work before, now work.

Thanks!

If there was a way to find out whether some sort of MS CD / DVD of the past contained such update diles, as there sometimes were, and knew the name of the CD (like MSDN year/month whatever),
then one could look on archive org where they host old CD / DVD images, which seems separate from the websites archiving.
I once found an MSDN DVD iso image with some old .NET installer that I needed for something, there.
Although that little update... vs. some whole service pack... I guess unlikely.

Thanks for digging that out. I was under the impression the archive does not keep binary files from websites.

I get error 0x8007065e (data of this type not supported) when trying to execute it, though.
Supposed fixes I've found suggest fumbling with the windows update system and waiting some magic number of minutes in between some of the steps, borders on gambling as unspecific as that is to what's really going on behind the scenes...
I guess I'll try it.

I have the same problem. Using Opera GX 71.0.3770.441

I have Windows 7 "N".

The link for the "Windows Media Feature Pack" for windows 7 does not exist anymore, and I cannot find it on the microsoft site anywhere.

Every other youtube video doesn't play. streams don't work, other video sites don't work.
A "gaming browser" that doesn't play gaming videos is kinda useless.
How come niche browser like Slimjet and Iron play all videos no probs? If it's about too expensive license, how can they afford it? The market share of Opera should be quite bigger than those two combined.

It looked promising because no other browser I have seen offers as strict a processing resource hogging clamp (most browsers are absolutely insane, worst offender being Mozilla - ok that's true of all of their products, seems they just don't care),
but I guess I'll have to go back to Slimjet, which has at least periodic memory optimization. And it "just works" w.r.t. videos.
