Are you on regular opera or snap?
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. -

@jimunderscorep Cancel that - it doesn't work anymore, after another update. You're right, things broke again lol.
Regular opera. Yep 76

Hi @jwalker8 You can add the the line/repo:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/canonical-chromium-builds/stage/ubuntu ubuntu-name-matching-your-mint-version* main
to your/etc/apt/sources.list
, and update the package (it's already @132 there), or simply download the appropriate pkg for you Ubuntu version from here, and install it manually.
* 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".

@jwalker8 have you tried running the command,
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.

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 ?

My answer below is no longer usable on Ubuntu 19.10 and later.
@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,

I have a same problem. If you have google chrome you can do this for widevine.
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/chromethen 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. -

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