I have no problems watching Netflix with Chrome, but in Opera every attempt brings an error message.

acidinmyfridge last edited by@bilko had the same issue (though on windows); couldn't update widevine-plugin, so i installed silverlight, closed browser and opened it up again, netflix worked and continues to do so without any issues.
You think you know, but you have no idea.

@acidinmyfridge I wonder if they have changed something at Netflix, because this used to work for me previously with Opera.
If I try viewing Netflix with Safari it pops up with a message like in the attachment, saying that Silverlight is needed, but that doesn't happen with Opera. Chrome just works with nothing else required.

@bilko i saw that it does that nods i wasn't able to figure out, why that only occurs with Opera. So far, installing silverlight is the only workaround i found which makes it possible to watch netflix in Opera. At least with windows. Don't know if it works with mac the same way.

@acidinmyfridge It probably will and I'll give it a try, but I've been finding lots of problems lately viewing video in Opera, including Flash and even MP4 not so long ago. None of this was happening 6 months ago.

@bilko i am using site settings sidebar extension for the flash-player issue, that works the best for me. on preferred website, just set plugin+NPAPI plugin to allow (pop-up too if needed), then open that website in a new tab, from now on flash content will be displayed without having to click anything, i use this for facebook games for example. works perfect. you do that on any website, it will save the settings for each website. There is another work around as well, in an on-going thread, here's the link:

@acidinmyfridge Thank you, that has actually worked.
I had the flash setting on recommended already, but then added [*.]netflix.com as an exception. Now Netflix works smoothly in Opera. There was no need to install silverlight.

@leocg Yes I agree, but adding Netflix as an exception under the flash settings allows it to play smoothly, otherwise I get the error message without the helpful suggestion to use silverlight that shows up with Safari.
