@stefanw1337 What version of Windows?

@leocg I deliberately did post in Opera "One" forums, didn't I? So yeah, the "normal" Opera.

And if it even matters, Windows 10! Obviously the best Windows of the two.

Also I did try some sites that worked. But my TV provider has this one collective site, where it doesn't work. But the seperate streaming service web pages they work.

@stefanw1337 It's a N version of Windows 10 by chance?

@leocg Yeah, and that is not Opera GX, Opera Air or Opera One? Just regular Opera?

@stefanw1337 If you are using a N version of Windows, you need to install the media package to be able to run protected content

@leocg No, not N. Just regular Pro version.

And again, content works on the respective sites, but not on the tv providers collective page for some reason. And then there's of course some shows that isn't on any other page than their collective shit.

@stefanw1337 If the problem is only on one page, maybe it's an issue with that page.

@leocg Well, they say only those broswers are compatible, but the page works on the others. So it should work with Opera as well with some extra stages?

Goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type the problem site's domain in the search field and click "Delete displayed data". Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "Cached images and files" for all time. Then, make sure Opera's adblocking and tracking protection is completely off at the URL opera://settings/privacyProtection. Also make sure lucid mode is off at the URL opera://settings/lucidMode. Also make sure the video popout is disabled at the URL opera://settings/videoPopout.

Then, close Opera.

Then, hit Windows key + r to open the run dialog, type cmd and press enter to open a command prompt.

Then, type:

"%localappdata%\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

and press enter to start Opera while pretending to be Chrome.

Then, goto the URL opera://browserjs and disable browser.js for the session.

Then, goto the problem site and try to play things.

@stefanw1337 said in Protected (DRM) content can't be played:

And I can see Widewine is on components etc.

Both Widevine components at opera://components show a version and not 0.0.0.0?

What does it say at https://html5test.opensuse.org/? Does it say "Yes", for h.264, VP8 and VP9 and does it say "Yes" for PCM, MP3, AAC, Vorbis and Opus?

At https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm, does it say "Using Widevine" above the video?

Does it have a check for:

video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42c00d"
video/webm; codecs="vorbis,vp8"
video/mp2t; codecs="avc1.42E01E,mp4a.40.2"

for MSE below the video?

Does it have a check next to "Widevine" under EME below the video?

Does the video play with audio?

If everything is all good with all that, it's most likely not Opera that's the problem.
