Hi I have the latest version 86.0.4363.23, on Ubuntu (Linux) 18.04, and until yesterday I had the latest version of 85, everything was fine. But now except for Youtube, I can't play any video from any website. Whether news, entertainment etc.... Moreover, I usually watch Netflix from the browser and I get the Widevine Content Decryption Module error:

Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 4.10.2449.0
Status - Components not up to date
Check for updates

And this is the result it gives. The thing is that I refresh the page and it says that the components are up to date, but I hit it again and it says that they are not.

Never in all that I've been using opera, which is since versions 30 and something, I had never happened. And no matter how I install it, in ubuntu (either snap or deb). It doesn't fix or work.

It is something desperate, that every time there is an update, in one of them, always happens this problem of videos in Ubuntu (at least in my case).

This is like having a browser in beta or test version, but it doesn't work. And I deleted cokies, I went to browse without add-ons and also in private mode... and there is no way.

You can't do anything that has to do with video...

Best regards

Postadata:

Every how many days an update comes out, because the 86.0.4363.17 was perfect, but this .23 final, this to be polished... at least in linux (ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04)

Any solution?

@burnout426: In snap format, it's fixed, in .deb it's still the same. Thanks for the information.

I confirm that it is not possible to upload anything, in any web site either mega or similar or even outlook itself with attachments. I use ubuntu 22.04 lts. I think it must be that this version is based on the 116 latest version of chromium, and not the current 117. Anyway.

Pues ello en esta ultima versión, me sucede esto. los primeros dias de tenerla es decir, cuando salio el 31 hasta hoy, no ha habido ese problema, pero hoy le cuesta al abrirse bajar el consumo de gpu se tira como un minuto y a veces en webs como Youtube se sube hasta niveles altos.

Uso ubuntu 22.04 lts. Si alguien tiene alguna idea. Informo y recalco, esta limpio de ayer el cache y pasa sin pestañas abiertas.

Un saludo

@burnout426:

I saw that it was updated and now everything is correct. Just as I did critically I appreciate the update and the work done.

As for the other, I obviously do not use Ubuntu 14.04 lts, but the 22.04 Lts, and in it I have both the .deb, and the snap package of Opera. What I was trying to tell you, is that I use only the ffmpeg, that there is compiled in snap package, that already left link in the previous message, since the one that you comment, cannot be put if this the other installed, by much that one is snapackage, and the other .deb, always end up having problems of dependencies, I do not say it I, say it the ones that have used it.

I hope and it is not critical that for next stable versions in snap package of opera, it does not take so long to have them ready, but sometimes and I recognize that it is better to wait a little, so that the product is optimal and usable.

Best regards.

@burnout426: burnout426 , the windows thing, it solved itself. Everything was up to date.

As for linux, that only works if you have it installed, https://snapcraft.io/chromium-ffmpeg and I have it installed since I was using ubuntu 14.04 lts.

If you have this one you can't use the other one. Since all that comes from the installation of the system, when you are doing it, it asks you if you want third party software, and it already includes the videos etc.. Then you add the so called ubuntu restricted extras. I have both in this version of Ubuntu 22.04, which is the one I'm currently using, as I've already mentioned.

The problem of the videos, in the end it doesn't depend on those add-ons, but on chromium/chrome, to be updated. I have Chromium installed for that.

But you haven't really answered the question, which is when the snap opera package will be updated to the stable version, as well as the .deb. And by the way I will comment something funny. When I was on 18.04 Ubuntu Lts, the .deb, in the middle I do not remember the year, I think 2 years ago, about June told me .. no longer update me, and I went then to snap opera, and I had no problems until today, except for an opera 87, which crashes all the time.

The question is when will the current version of snap opera be updated. The videos, if it is a tiresome, because it happens in all versions of opera and that happens, as explained in my first post of response, because the basis of chrome / chromium in which developers are based opera, is never the current, as already mentioned antonio1678 in this thread opera stable 99, and as I already showed in the links.

So, the videos is a matter of polishing again this 99 version just out of the oven, which will take I don't know a week or 14 days. I say 1 week or 14 days, because I don't know how long it takes to release stable opera in days, since the previous stable opera was released.

Without further ado, I hope you can answer me you or anyone else, the following, for when the stable version of opera, in snap package.

I already saw a thread, where it seems that people who have snap opera, had a bad time, because it always has problems of this type, it seems the poor version, and rather it seems that they want in opera that we use the .deb, when in the long run the .deb, in linux (ubuntu etc), always give problems of dependencies, not so snap, that occupy more, but you can revert to a previous version of a package, while you wait to have the current, but of course with snap opera package, you can not be using a version like the one you have, but you can't be using a version like the one you have in your package, because you can't use the .deb. when in the long run the .deb, in linux (ubuntu etc), always give problems of dependencies, not so snap, that occupy more, but you can revert to a previous version of a package, while waiting to have the current, but of course with snap opera package, you can not be using a version like the one I use the 89, which is based on the chromium/chrome 112, as I indicated in my previous post in this thread, because in the long run, brings problems for everything and the browser becomes unusable.

I hope they will give more love to the snap opera package, and update to the current stable at once, because there were also cases, which were not updated for a long time. It's a pity that such a good browser, in something so basic to put the current chrome/chromium version, always put one that is going to give problems.

In the end people for issues like this will go another browser.

As antonio1678 says, you are one version behind chrome/chromium, because the 99, which came out now, that is today, is based on 113.0.5672.93 and when you do the html5test.com, you get that the videos or codecs for example, are not enabled, ie you do not see anything except for some of yuoutube, because the 264, are not enabled.

I use windows11, on a laptop, and the truth is what antonio1678 says. But my work pc is ubuntu22.04 lts, and I have opera.deb updated today, but the videos do not work, because it lacks the 264 codecs, you just have to do the html5test.com

But it is even worse, if like me you use the snap package of your browser, if we go to your website, in downloads and we give linux package snap, it sends us here
https://snapcraft.io/opera and if we click on the box next to where it says install, we will see that the stable version 98.0.4759.15, which is the one I'm using, because it is the only one that approves the html5test, for videos, but there is more, if we give in that box we will see another version that says this:

latest/edge 99.0.4788.10 Today that is to say, that in the snap package, canocial considers that this version of today, is an edge version not stable. although the deb point is Version: 99.0.4788.9, a minor number.

So as an ubuntu user and user of your browser in snap format, I would like to know when you will release the stable version in snap version. Because if one goes to the ppa.deb package, the stable version that they consider, is the one you just released today, but for snap it is an edge. How do I understand this.

The snap is not updated, in stable format, since version 98.0.4759.15, any explanation?

Also as I mentioned I use windows11 and it is the same, it is updated to the stable version, that you have released today, but you can not see the videos, because the html5test, gives as a result that the codescs 264 are not in the browser and is more, as antonio1678 says, you go in a version, which is having problems even if it is the 113.

I use snap opera as always and even as the title of the post says it has not been updated .39 of the 98 stable version. has there been any problem? and that .39 was released 3 days ago...

If you know anything I will be grateful.

Greetings.

Got the stable 98 version, just today via snap, doesn't work, it hangs literally as soon as I enter, I can't click anywhere, the right button dropdowns don't appear, if you maximize you get a double screen, if by any chance the right button dropdown appears, nothing is written. Other people who have windows have told me the same thing. If you click on a speed dialers folder, it opens, but you can't click on it. You can't type anything in the browser, it uses a lot of memory resources.

I use it for work, and I'm sold, and downgrading to the previous version is not an option.

My question is when they will be able to fix this because it is respectfully a bit embarrassing. I have to lose 2 weeks of work

Sorry if I upset anyone, I don't mean to, but I'm writing this in the heat of the moment.

Greetings

Hello, leocg:

After 15 days, less than 10 minutes ago Snap Opera has been updated to 91...20. I honestly don't know what happened to them, or if they had problems. Now, they have already released two developers, from 92, so it wouldn't be surprising, that it will give much more than 10 days, to this 91... 20, since 92 is coming soon. I hope, that they update it at the moment, as they have always done, with the deb and rpm, and that they had always done with the snap.

Best regards leocg. And thanks for all your help these days.

the version of opera snap is 91.0.4516.16, but in the blog (https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2022/09/opera-91-0-4516-20-stable-update/), there is a link to download from snap, but as I said, it is .16, instead of .20. I have ubuntu 18.04, with opera via snap. And I also have opera in .deb and snap in an ubuntu 20.04, and the deb there in 20.04, is in .20, but the snap is in .16 ( from version 91.0...) Is there any reason for that.

I leave link to snapcraft.io, where you will see that the one that comes out is the .16 and not the .20, and the day of update on September 16 and not the 21 when the .20 was released.

Any solution.
