So, Pluto TV seems to have changed its interface and with that, it tells me that the videos are "not supported on my web browser". I was able to use Pluto on Opera with no problems up until that point. I tried updating Opera, but that did not fix it.

Confirmed in Opera 134.0.5954.56 64-bit on Windows 11 with https://pluto.tv/us/watch/live-tv/. Same issue in Opera Developer and Opera GX. Works fine in Chrome and in the latest Vivaldi snapshot.

Not finding any workarounds.

Starting Opera like this:

"%localappdata%\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/151.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

to pretend to be the latest Chrome Stable on Windows doesn't help.

Going to the URL opera://browserjs and disabling browser.js doesn't help. (I checked browser.js and siteprefs.json and there are no workarounds for pluto.tv anyway.)

Closing Opera, deleting the 2 Widevine folders in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable", starting Opera, going to the URL opera://components, clicking update for the 2 Widevine components to redownload them and restarting Opera doesn't help. "Google Widevine Windows CDM - Version: 1.0.2738.0" and "Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 4.10.3050.0" to be specific.

A fresh profile doesn't help.

Disabling "Graphics acceleration" at the URL opera://settings/system doesn't help.
