      Trying to play protected content on Spotify. I tried to perform some of the steps mentioned on the threads present here, but it seems they are a bit old. I tried using this script as many of them mentioned, and there is a libwidevine.so in WidevineCdm directory, but I can't find the widevine_config.json file in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/resources/widevine_config.json. Is it possible that the json file's position have been changed, or is it just me facing this issue?

        @tushr If you look for the file, it can't be found somewhere else?

          @leocg Yes actually, I searched the whole directory, even installed Opera multiple times, but I just can't find it.

              @leocg Yes it is listed, and it says Up To Date

              but when I click on 'Check For Updates', it says component not updated.

                @tushr Check for the path of Opera's profile directory in opera://about, Widevine files should be there.
