Today, after Opera update this method doesnt work again. I think that it is time to say goodbye Opera.

Opera is worse and worse every day. It doesn't make sense to use it anymore.

Update:

I just noticed that widevine stop working with my opera Version:64.0.3417.83. The problem is that Google Chrome change their libwidevinecdm.so location from /opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so" to: opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_x64/

All you have to do is modify your widevine_config.json in the resources folder of your opera (Mine is in /usr/lib64/opera folder)...

@Pibe Thank you for your tip.
Unfortunatly it doesn't work for me.
I have opera 63 on linux 64 bit.
I have done each step you recommand and after I have the error :
Code d'erreur : O7701-1003
Impossible to find WidevineCdm on the computer.
I have chrome on the same computer and it works fine.

It doesn't work for me too.

Have you read this topic?

The libwidevinecdmadapter.so link in your post above links only to text/xml.

try this one

libwidevinecdmadapter

@awesome-nils

It's strange. I used this solution on 2 laptops and it works.

1. Did you use the right setup in the point 2?
2. Do you use also another user agent besides the one mentioned in the point 2? If yes then switch it off.
3. Check also what you have in the file widevine_config.json. It should be located in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/resources
   My file contains
   [
   {
   "preload" : "/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so",
   "plugin" : "/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdmadapter.so"
   },
   {
   "preload" : "/opt/google/chrome-beta/libwidevinecdm.so",
   "plugin" : "/opt/google/chrome-beta/libwidevinecdmadapter.so"
   },
   {
   "preload" : "/opt/google/chrome-unstable/libwidevinecdm.so",
   "plugin" : "/opt/google/chrome-unstable/libwidevinecdmadapter.so"
   }
   ]

Hi, I gave a solution here

Hi, I found a solution, just follow my small how to.

1. Put files libwidevinecdm and libwidevinecdmadapter to /opt/google/chrome
   If that folder doesn't exist then create it. If you don't have those files you can
   download them from my googledrive
   libwidevinecdm
   libwidevinecdmadapter
2. Install User-Agent Switcher addon and setup it to chome Linux and the highest chrome number
3. Watch Netflix

@tastymineraler IMHO, any browser that is considered to compete with Chrome or Firefox should be able to play Netflix and other sites with movies. It is a big part of browsers' use nowadays and I cannot imagine a modern browser without that functionality.

BTW, it works in Vivaldi out of the box.
