Streaming Sites will not play anything?

I am using Opera latest version - I have used this browser for years and used Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney and lately Paramount without any problems streaming. But yesterday Opera would not let me run any content from these streaming sites, I keep getting error code 3304.
I have run Paramount and Amazon Prime and Netflix on the Edge browser without any problems today, but Opera still gives the error 3304?
I have not changed anything in Opera that would cause this, and all my other saved sites run without any problems, even BBC iPlayer, and Sky Go?
Any idea what is wrong please?

@leocg If you are asking me what that error code is - I have no idea?
All I know is this is a problem with Opera as my other browsers will stream with no problems?
Though I did get a message saying that my Opera browser was an old version and would not work because it needed updating. But my version is Version:90.0.4480.103 which is the latest according to Opera? Anyway it worked without problems up until yesterday? -

@hirwaunman And the pages help say nothing about that error? What about your (re)search?
Current stable version is 106.

@leocg It's 107 today, but I can't access it for some reason? 103 is the latest update I can get?

@leocg Windows 10 pro - Yes, it is supported! This is an Opera problem. Edge works fine.
2 days ago Opera stopped , and that error code 3304 was posted from Opera! Nothing has changed in my OS or on my system? -

@hirwaunman Did you try searching about that error? It seems to be related to network issues.

blackbird71 last edited by@hirwaunman Suggestions at the Paramount+ site (https://help.paramountplus.com/s/article/PD-Why-do-I-see-error-messages-when-I-try-to-playback-video-on-Paramount) for error code 3304 are to try: 1-Turn off browser ad blocker if enabled. 2-If using a Chrome-type browser, disable hardware acceleration. 3-Try restarting the computer and relaunch the browser.

@blackbird71 Been away for the day so only just tried your suggestions - No dice, none of them work?
Anyway Microsoft Edge is also developed from Chrome and it plays streaming videos perfectly!
And it is not just Paramount but Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney - None of them can be streamed?
Opera worked without problems up until 2 or 3 days ago with the Add Blocker and hardware acceleration and the Tracker on! Restarting the system does not fix it either?
My conclusion is that the fault is not with the streaming services but with Opera! -

@hirwaunman Perhaps the fact that my Opera version is 103, and I cannot get Opera to update to version 107 which is the latest stable update? Is there a way to update by downloading this update and then installing it over my current version (I don't want to lose all my settings by doing a clean install).
I don't understand why my system will not update to the latest stable version of Opera? I have a fairly powerful PC with plenty of Ram and Hard Drive space and run Windows 10 pro. -

@hirwaunman I don't really want to but, it looks like I will have to dump Opera and go with Edge, because I cannot use streaming sites on Opera! I have used Opera for years and will be sorry to dump it, but life goes on and I will just have to go with it!
Thank you all for your help! -

@hirwaunman Just tried Vivaldi (and this chrome based browser was developed from Opera) it streams Paramount and my other streaming sites without any errors!

I get this when trying to stream amazon. Can't find a "relaunch now" option under "about opera"
Digital Rights Error A later version of Opera is required for Prime Video. To check for updates, click the Opera menu, click About Opera, and then click Relaunch Now.``` -

@duhwolf5150 There isn't such button. Either the information is incorrect or it refers to a very old version of Opera
