<![CDATA[Opera, Netflix, and Linux]]>Is it possible to get Opera to play Netflix shows under Linux? I've tried several "solutions" but none seem to work: Error Code: O7701-1003

I have installed WidevineCDM via Google chrome, however it is not listed under opera://components or chrome://components:

MEI Preload - Version: 1.0.5.0
Subresource Filter Rules - Version: 9.6
CRLSet - Version: 5512

I really want this to work, as I like Opera's VPN feature.
It can't really be that hard to get right!

Version:64.0.3417.54
Opera is up to date
Update stream:Stable
System:Manjaro Linux (x86_64; XFCE)

Why should opera be an exception to it?

FYI I am watching Netflix in Opera + Ubuntu right now.

For the moment, it seems as the most logical solution to the "opera can't find the widevice lib" problem.
