I just deleted it because I don't use it. It's not on my computer. Plus if this were to cause problems, wouldn't it be system wide (across all browsers) instead of affecting just Opera?

zalex108 last edited byBut Spotify is working on FireFox, then should work in any browser, despite Dolby system.
Try disabling the AntiVirus and any other network interfering software.

Hi,
Logged in just to say that I had exactly the same problem, also on a new installation of Opera while both Chrome and Firefox were working properly. But i managed to overcome the problem using a "stupid" solution, because there is something broken on the browser...
If you go to opera://components you will see a single entry called "Widevine Content Decryption Module" that shows version 0.0.0.0
Next to it is an update button that... Doesn't work... (!)
So what I've done, since Opera is based on Chromium was go to my Google Chrome install location and copy the "WidevineCdm" folder to the same location on the Opera install location. (Note: When windows asked me to overwrite the present folders i said YES, when it asked me to overwrite present files I said NO - Don't know if it does anything bad or not, but i wanted to try it with NO first...)
After this i restarted the browser, opened opera://components again and there it was Version 1.4.8.1029Spotify web player now works as it should.
Development should see what is wrong with the automatic download of this component, because it should download it automatically, and it affects not only Spotify web player, but Amazon and Netflix videos as well...
Hope you can solve your problem using this tip.
Best regards from Portugal,
Bruno

I've read that solution on Netflix problems post, but doesn't worked for some users.
Let's see what happens for @Simonhawk.
PS:
I'll check this workaround for my Opera Stable too.

@zalex108 Yes, for me it worked for Spotify. I didn't try Netflix, because i tend to use the Netflix app for Windows 10.
I basically remembered a problem I had a while ago with my work computer that only had Firefox installed, and at that time we were not able to install any more software on the machines, so the only way to fix that problem for both Spotify and Netflix then was install that component on that browser (easier said than done, because they also had policies in place for firefox to remove all external components that were not approved by the company).
As i said, i hope it helps people... -

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
