So we're back here again, aren't we?
I have no folder:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/operaI couldn't find any widevind_config.json, so I made one, and tried to follow the guide made waay back on these forums, and read the comments and really, it's kinda messed for me right now.
Does anyone have an updated guide?
Running
Xubuntu 20.04 and
Opera 68.0.3618.125And I have Chrome, and DRM works there.
Opera devs, please pay attention in class, and fix this once and for all! -

Paths
Install: /snap/opera/76/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera (also I tried to write and copy here, read-only, even with chmod 777 and sudo nano)Profile: /home/user/snap/opera/76/.config/opera
Cache: /home/user/snap/opera/common/.cache/opera
$ locate /usr/*/opera
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/opera$ locate /opt/*/opera
$ whereis opera
opera: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera /snap/bin/opera -

Get the non-snap version of Opera and then see https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_widevine_config.

@fonm Exactly the same answers. Any more ideas? I need to try the non-snap version I suppose.

@burnout426 I mean, even after installing snap:
$ sudo ls -lR /usr/lib/opera | grep widevine_config.json
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/opera': No such file or directory$ sudo locate /usr/lib/opera | grep widevine_config.json
$ sudo find . widevine_config.json | grep widevine_config.json
find: ‘widevine_config.json’: No such file or directory -

@stefanw1337 I guess that is exactly because your are using the snap version. Did you try the regular version?

@leocg Snap is the regular version, for the everyday user? At least, that's what the store installed for me. The other store was upgraded at some point to the "Snap Store".
I haven't been testing that much, as you can see the folders are the same as before. But when I went to check for DRM, it said it had widevide, so I suppose it's fine.

@stefanw1337 Snap is one of the ways to install Opera on Linux. There are also the Deb and RPM packages.

@leocg I know, which is what I did to install the non-snap version(dpkg). But shouldn't the easier option have the most mainstream options and choices for the "normal" more casual user? You know, those new to linux?
Edit: seems more software is weird on snap. For instance Spotify.

To get the snap version of Opera to use proprietary codecs, I guess you need to do something special. I don't know the details, but https://www.google.com/search?q=chromium+ffmpeg+codecs+extra+snap+package might help. The snap-provided codecs must be built for the version of Chromium Opera uses just like with the non-snap version. Then, for Widevine, you might have to do something similar. https://www.google.com/search?q=chromium+widevine+snap might help.

@stefanw1337 To fix this on new Opera installations just copy lib: libffmpeg.so to the Opera directory.Terminal command: sudo cp /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/

@fonm I mean, good for you?
$ locate /usr/lib/opera|grep -i ffmpeg
And for the sake of sudo:
$ sudo locate /usr/lib/opera|grep -i ffmpegNothing. This with both snap and non-snap installed.
