Description:
I am experiencing video playback issues on Opera GX running on Ubuntu 24.04.

Affected platforms/websites:

• Twitch (streams fail to play or show errors)
• Kick (video playback issues)
• WhatsApp Web (videos not playing properly)
• X (Twitter) videos not loading or failing

System information:

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04
• Browser: Opera GX (latest version)
• GPU: [coloque aqui sua GPU - ex: AMD Radeon RX 6600]
• Driver: [se souber - ex: Mesa / proprietary]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any of the mentioned platforms
2. Try to play a video/stream
3. The video fails with errors or does not load

Expected result:
Videos should play normally.

Actual result:
Playback errors or unsupported video messages.

Additional notes:

• Issue may be related to codecs (Widevine) or hardware acceleration
• Happens across multiple websites
