Just spent sometime testing with the WidevineCmd from Chrome and from another running Spotify Opera profile without success.
In my case, even passing the Flash command line, Opera doesn't run the plugin, despite seems to be detected.
Despite I don't use Spotify I'm not satisfied with something broken.

@zalex108 And the allow protected content is properly configured?
If yes, then I really have no idea what the problem could be...

Yes, those options are enabled.

The worst part of @Simonhawk problem is that Spotify does't work in any Opera version.
Let's see what happens once test the workaround.

I have returned with unfortunate news
I tried messing with the "WidevineCdm" folder but no fix. As mentioned, that component is not working properly or at least properly displayed. The versions i worked with was 64 bit and transferred over my 32 bit Chrome files. Didn't work. Uninstalled Opera, installed 32bit. Transfered Chrome files. Didn't work. Uninstalled. Back at Opera 64 bit. You said this was chromium, which is not exactly the same as google chrome, instead the open source version. Could that be why?
I even tried running Opera as admin to try to update it but nothing worked.
Thank you all

Downloaded Chromium 32bit. Didn't see Widevine anywhere. Went through the components that were orignally 0.0.0...... but Updated all besides one that wasn't working as shown below
Interestingly enough, spotify web player doesn't work for chromium. Since I never tried it in chrome (only firefox) I tried it in Chrome and it worked.
component list for chrome:
Tried in Edge and it worked. Don't have Explorer (why would I) so I can't try that.
*I also want to mention that I went back and downloaded flash for Opera and it did not appear in Opera://components. Did the same thing for chromium and the results were the same. No flash component like in chrome. No spotify working. Both for chromium and Opera.
I also tried turning off Windows Defender/Firewalls. No luck.

Have you seen any black cat crossing the street before the Opera installation¿? xDDD
I think that Flash doesn't appears in that place anymore.
In my tests on the unworking Spotify profile, I've managed to block the "support" layer with an adblocker, then, Spotify site appears but don't play music despite you can move around the web and you can use the music controls.
At the other hand,
You told that Twitch worked, but testing it, it works without Flash.In my Flash profile version, sometimes I've been forced to refresh many times into the About Adobe site to make the version appears, but the plugin was working, and until went to a Flash site and make the plugin to load doesn't appeared in the version check site.
You can try in other site and see what happens.
A gaming site could be a good test site, I use zigiz.com.As a remembering, VPN and Turbo reverts any setting to "Click to play."

@zalex108 Went to the site. Clicked Solitaire > Play for fun > Then a new window pops up requesting me to click the play button > I do so but nothing happens.
I go through my extensions and turn off all extensions including the built in ad blocker and still nothing. Turned off Opera Turbo and still no luck.
Tried a different game, "5Dice", same result. Tried another game, "Sevens", same result.

I had to enable Flash for that site, I'd used "SiteSettingsSidebar" as we spoke before, check it, if not done it yet, you can use the extension or the Default Opera settings.

Just want to know everyone another one of my attempts found on the web--
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux-Windows-Web-Player/My-browser-Spotify-is-not-working/m-p/1402249#M162619If you don't feel safe clicking links the instructions are--
Step one: Open web player
Step two: Right click,Inspect
Step three: Click 'network'
Step four:Press F5
Step five: Press CTRL+F and type play.spotify.com
Step six: Right click and click clear cache. Right click again and click clear cookies!This didn't work for me, in fact I couldn't find the "play.spotify.com" information mentioned so instead I went through a lot of the options and cleared cash/cookies but nothing worked.
Tried the USB installation and once again, did not work.

@nvmjustagirl Tried the first extension suggested, "Opera
Web Player for Spotify". Looked into the second one and that's a Chrome extension. I see no way to download and apply it on Opera -
