Hello everyone,
My Specs: I use Deepin Linux 20 (community/64 Bit) and just installed the Opera browser trough their store. The version is 66.0.3515.27. No addons or extensions.
The Problem: The problem is I cannot watch media on Netflix, Disney+ or Spotify. It will give me errorcodes like 07355 (Netflix) or it doesn't load (Disney and Spotify). Youtube works ok, but some videos won't play because my browser ,,wouldn't support HTML-5".
I can log in on every site and scroll trough their videos, series etc. I can search but if turn on an video it will give the problems.Is there a way to bring it to work?
Thank you for reading.

Just started to experience similar issues here - Opera 73.0.3856.284
Operating System: Linux Mint 20
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-58-generic
Architecture: x86-64I've pretty much exhausted everything I could find on the web. Nothing has cured it.

@Frizzledoldbutt The directions at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_libffmpeg_config were gathered/tested on Linux Mint FWIW.

Whenever a new opera version is availabe I do a fast check on a dutch website npo.nl, to see whether live streaming and watching old programs work. On Ubuntu 18.04 all works fine in combination with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra.
Ubuntu 18.04 :
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_87.0.4280.66-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb
opera-stable_73.0.3856.344_amd64.deb
Ubuntu 20.04 :
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_1%3a85.0.4183.83-0ubuntu0.20.04.2_amd64.deb
opera-stable_73.0.3856.344_amd64.deb (same version)
On Ubuntu 20.04 the DRM protected video content refuses to stream and or play.Any tips how to get the newest opera to work properly on the most recent LTS edition of Ubuntu ?

@PixCatholica, I did some research and replaced libffmpeg.so with the one I downloaded from https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/amd64/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/download
Download the package, find libffmpeg.so in it and extract it.
Open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (this path may vary) click with right mouse button on "opera" folder and "Open as Root". Replace the libffmpeg.so with the new file.
Now you can play videos.Thanks, this works for me, Opera 75 on Debian 10.
Lol, I even reported a bug to Opera team before this.

Yesterday I switched my os from Windows 10 to Kali Linux. I installed opera for Linux but now I can't see videos from social media while Youtube videos are working properly. In other browsers I can see those videos but I can't see this here. Why?

What solutions?
I'm having the same problem. Utube works fine, but nothing else works. -

@tstowshin Maybe Facebook is just blocking Opera? Can you watch videos in other pages?

I'm using linux mint 19 & 20.
Mint 19 Opera is working fine and mint 20 which I just installed, Opera has the problem.
A look at .config/opera for mint 19 shows that pepper and widevines are installed, while mint 20 has no pepper dir and widevines looks like a rudimentary basic form.Can I just copy my whole .config/opera file from 19 to 20?
