Python Selenium Opera for Youtube - getting error

I am trying the code from the following URL and it seems to be working for Opera-
Drive Opera with selenium python
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome import service
webdriver_service = service.Service('.\operadriver.exe')
webdriver_service.start()
driver = webdriver.Remote(webdriver_service.service_url, webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.OPERA)
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
input_txt = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
input_txt.send_keys('operadriver\n')
time.sleep(5) #see the result
driver.quit()
But I get error when trying to search in Youtube with the following Xpath code-
driver.get('https://youtube.com/')
input_txt = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="search"]')
input_txt.send_keys('operadriver\n')
Error

Any suggestion why it's not working for youtube?

Try this
driver.get('https://youtube.com/')
input_txt = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#id="search"]')
input_txt.click()
time.sleep(1)
input_txt.send_keys('operadriver\n')

Unable to display website on chrome when ran the program

I had recently started learning automation with python using selenium. I had installed chromedriver but when i run the code chrome displays no output. My code:
from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("www.wikipedia.com")
Output
Output :
C:\Users\Admin\PycharmProjects\untitled\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/Admin/PycharmProjects/untitled/1.py

with
"https://www.wikipedia.com"

Your error is not
unable to send message to renderer
as you mentioned. According to the stack trace you posted the problem in the line 6
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path="chromedriver.exe", )
and the problem is:
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created
It seems like you specified an invalid path to the chromedriver and Selenium is unable to initialize the driver and create a session.
You should also check the version of the chromedriver with the guide.
Here you can download the valid version (I have taken your Chrome version from the stacktrace).

yes it did start and then close with the error log above, and also i have the correct version

Selenium doesnt fetch url (3 lines of python)

Using chrome 76.0.3809.132 with chromedriver 76.0.3809.126 the testing browser opens but throws a traceback on the driver.get. It isn't able to fetch the page.
Tried couple of arguments, and tried looking for an older version of Chrome with an older chrome driver, which seems impossible.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("www.google.com")
Output:

Try to insert https://:

driver.get("https://www.google.com")

Much thanks!

Try to download latest version of chromedriver and put it to C:/Python27/Scripts/ instead of outdated one

you should provide full path of chromedriver.exe, see the following:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:/Python27/Scripts/chromedriver.exe')
