Hello,
I updated Opera today to version 64.0.3417.92 , but it seems like every video stream is broken. Youtube Live Streams will show "Your browser does not currently recognice any of the video formats available.", Twitch player says "The video download was cancelled. Please try again. (Error #1000)" or sometimes "This video is either unavailable or not supported in this browser. (Error #4000)" and Mixer just loads indefinetly.
Since it worked yesterday I suspect the update. I have already tried clearing cookies and browser cache but nothing seems to work. Disabling extentions also doesn't change anything.
OS: Ubuntu 19.04

And did you make sure your Chromium codecs library was also updated?

If you use the deb version of opera, ubuntu updated chromium and it's packages to version 78 a couple of weeks ago (for 19.04), so they are no longer compatible with opera 64 which is based on chromium 77.

Are you on linux? What distro are you using? If you're on anything Debian/Ubuntu based, then see this post for solutions dealing with codecs and Widevine. Widevine + H.264 Support on Ubuntu 19.10
