<![CDATA[Protected (DRM) content can't be played]]>So how do I get DRM content to work. I just keep getting errors about my browser not compatible. And cannot play content. And that desktop versions of Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari is the ones supported.

Feels weird that Opera isn't supported! I've checked and can see that Protected content IDs are allowed (default) on the site settings. And I can see Widewine is on components etc.

Everything I've found is for linux in terms of fixing this.. But I'm on Windows. So please help!

And I can see Widewine is on components etc.

Both Widevine components at opera://components show a version and not 0.0.0.0?

What does it say at https://html5test.opensuse.org/? Does it say "Yes", for h.264, VP8 and VP9 and does it say "Yes" for PCM, MP3, AAC, Vorbis and Opus?

At https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm, does it say "Using Widevine" above the video?

Does it have a check for:

video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42c00d"
video/webm; codecs="vorbis,vp8"
video/mp2t; codecs="avc1.42E01E,mp4a.40.2"

for MSE below the video?

Does it have a check next to "Widevine" under EME below the video?

Does the video play with audio?

If everything is all good with all that, it's most likely not Opera that's the problem.

Goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type the problem site's domain in the search field and click "Delete displayed data". Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "Cached images and files" for all time. Then, make sure Opera's adblocking and tracking protection is completely off at the URL opera://settings/privacyProtection. Also make sure lucid mode is off at the URL opera://settings/lucidMode. Also make sure the video popout is disabled at the URL opera://settings/videoPopout.

Then, close Opera.

Then, hit Windows key + r to open the run dialog, type cmd and press enter to open a command prompt.

Then, type:

"%localappdata%\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

and press enter to start Opera while pretending to be Chrome.

Then, goto the URL opera://browserjs and disable browser.js for the session.

Then, goto the problem site and try to play things.

So it should work with Opera as well with some extra stages?

And again, content works on the respective sites, but not on the tv providers collective page for some reason. And then there's of course some shows that isn't on any other page than their collective shit.

And if it even matters, Windows 10! Obviously the best Windows of the two.
