I keep getting the enable secure playback in your browser, and even though I've already made sure "Allow site to play protected content" is enabled. What do?

Same here. I'm having the same problem for Spotify website; cannot see anything. It says "Enable secure playback in your browser". Widevine is up-to-date (Version: 4.10.2209.0). Any advice?

Goto Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Site Settings -> Additional content settings -> Protected content -> Turn Off Then Turn On it again. Goodluck!!!

Things you can try:

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder.

Then, start Opera, goto the URL opera://components, click "update" for Widevine, let it update, and restart Opera.

Then, start Opera and goto https://html5test.com/ and make sure it shows "yes" for h.264 support and "yes" for aac support.

Once that's good, goto https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm, make sure it says "Using Widevine" above the video and "Widevine" for EME below the video, and "video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42c00d" for MSE below the video. And, make sure the video plays and you can hear its audio.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/siteData, type spotify.com in the search-cookies field and choose "remove all shown".

Then, goto https://open.spotify.com/ in a new tab, log in, and try to play some music.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://flags/#reduce-user-agent, enable the flag, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://extensions, disable all your extensions, and restart Opera.

If you still ahve problems, make sure you're not using Opera's VPN, and try turning off Opera's Adblocking and tracking protection.

If you still have problems, try all of the above with a standalone installation.

You can also goto the URL opera://settings/content/protectedContent, and make sure "Sites can play protected content" and "Sites can use identifiers to play protected content" are set with no sites in the custom behaviors list.

@mika81194 It seems like you're facing the "enable secure playback in your browser" issue on Opera GX while using the Spotify web player. Even though you've enabled the "Allow site to play protected content" setting, the problem persists. In such cases, it's recommended to ensure that your browser and operating system are up to date. Additionally, consider clearing your browser's cache and cookies, as this might help resolve the issue. However, for a seamless and enhanced experience, I suggest downloading the Spotify Premium app on your PC. This standalone application offers better performance, exclusive features, and ensures a more secure playback environment, eliminating the hassles of browser-related problems. Visit the official Spotify website to download the app and enjoy uninterrupted music streaming.

@kendrasundry That's seems like you've encountered the "enable secure playback in your browser" issue despite having enabled the "Allow site to play protected content" setting. This can sometimes happen due to compatibility or configuration glitches. To troubleshoot, consider clearing your browser cache and cookies, ensuring you're using the latest version of Opera GX, and verifying that any relevant browser extensions aren't causing conflicts. Additionally, check if there are any pending Windows updates that might affect playback security. If the issue persists, reaching out to Opera GX's support or the Spotify support team might provide more tailored assistance to resolve this matter.

@mika81194 Using Opera GX Player on Spotify [Windows] helps protect your data by providing secure playback. All the music you listen to in Opera GX Player is encrypted and sent through a protected channel, ensuring only authorized users can access it. This end-to-end encryption ensures that any sensitive information remains safe from malicious actors or third parties who may try to intercept

Sorry to make the post again but when I'm listening to spotify it often stops suddenly, I don't know if it's due to the browser or not
