<![CDATA[Netflix on Linux Ubuntu]]>I am using Linux Ubuntu (18.04) Since I started using Ubuntu I can not watch Netflix, when playing netflix I come to a page abut demands of "HTML5" and "Silvernight" player. Is there anyone who knows a way fixing this and play Netflix on Linux with Opera Browser?

 for support Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, etc...

ll /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm/
ll /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/
ll /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_x64/

in this path if you have "libwidevinecdm.so" you have to copy path "widevine_config.json" this file.
your file like this:

cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/resources/widevine_config.json
[
   {
      "preload" : "/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so"
   },
   {
      "preload" : "/opt/google/chrome-beta/libwidevinecdm.so"
   },
   {
      "preload" : "/opt/google/chrome-unstable/libwidevinecdm.so"
   }
]

first copy "libwidevinecdm.so" /opt/google/chrome
sudo cp /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_x64/libwidevinecdm.so /opt/google/chrome

then add to this file path widevine_config.json.

sudo nano /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/resources/widevine_config.json
add this line:

  "plugin" : "/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdmadapter.so"

then file like this:
[
{
"preload" : "/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so",
"plugin" : "/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdmadapter.so"
},
{
"preload" : "/opt/google/chrome-beta/libwidevinecdm.so"
},
{
"preload" : "/opt/google/chrome-unstable/libwidevinecdm.so"
}
]

don't forget the "," :).
hope it helps.

@johnnyboycurtis said in Netflix on Linux Ubuntu:

On Ubuntu 16/18 LTS, you can bring support for Netflix by copying the libffmpeg file from Google Chrome. You can run the simple command:

sudo cp /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so

Please refer to the following article for an updated solution Widevine + H.264 Support on Ubuntu 19.10

Best,
Jonathan

Thank you for your feed back.
I tryed to copy the libffmpeg of Google Chrome (from sudo nautilus session) ... But I can't. My google Chrome is a snap installation. Do you have a tip ?
Thank you a lot.

sudo cp /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so

It requires a recent version of Google Chrome and Opera. This provides a support fix for Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Video.

* e.g. bionic.

By the way: the version .100 is still working here, when I add a symbolic link to the lib in "/opera's-installation-root/lib_extra/link-to-the-libffmpeg.so".

For once, the opera devs surpassed the ubuntu ones in keeping the package up to date!

Regular opera. Yep 76

Also, may I ask what version of chromium does ubuntu have right now in its repos? I assume it is 75.x, which is still compatible with chromium-75-based opera 62.
Keep in mind though that chromium 76 was released a couple of days ago, so things will break again once ubuntu packages it.

I'm on Mint as well and was just using Firefox for video since I'm lazy. Then updated and it works. Decided to try it after noticing videos on websites were playing more efficiently.

p.s. Winevide is a key library for playing drm content like netflix.
