@ilbert It's necessary also to download libffmpeg. Instructions here

@ilbert Solved!
I followed this guide with some adjustements:

1. download the last Google Chrome .deb file:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

2. extract it in the same folder:

dpkg -x google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb .

3. go to the directory where the extracted WidevineCdm folder is located:

cd opt/google/chrome/

4. find the directory where Opera looks for the WidevineCdm folder:

cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/resources/widevine_config.json

In my case I got:

[
  "/opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm",
  "/opt/google/chrome-beta/WidevineCdm",
  "/opt/google/chrome-unstable/WidevineCdm"
]

so I had to put the extracted WidevineCdm folder in /opt/google/chrome/

5. copy/move the extracted WidevineCdm folder in that directory:

sudo cp -r WidevineCdm/ /opt/google/chrome/

(if /opt/google/chrome/ does not exists, create it)

6. make sure that folder is readable by everyone:

sudo chmod 755 /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm/

7. start/restart Opera

8. Enjoy your paid streaming services!

I think it's pretty much the same as this guide.

I followed this answer from @bombacha and now it works.
But I'm still having troubles with Netflix:

and with Prime Video:

@truden I tried also this but it doesn't work...

@truden I installed the FFMPEG snap

Now:

• if I use the original libffmpeg.so, I get the same error as klcjr77's.

• if I follow your instructions, it keeps crashing as I said here.

@truden didn't work for me, I'm on elementaryOS Hera (Ubuntu 18.04 based).
Now I'm getting this error:

Now Opera crashes also on screenshot.

I'm running Opera 71.0.3770.271 on elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera (Ubuntu-based distro) and I can't play videos from any website except Youtube (live videos don't work even on YT).
