- Here is a hack to watch Netflix on Opera with Widevine DRM support.
- Download official Opera DEB and, weirdly, remove it after installation.
cd ~/Downloads sudo dpkg -i opera-stable_*.deb sudo apt-get autoremove opera-stable sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera
- Install other necessary things
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras flashplugin-installer sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-dev
- Setup Opera PPA
wget -qO- https://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add - && sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=i386, amd64] https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free" && sudo apt-get install opera-stable
- Install something which has
libffmpeg.so
- VS Code, Slack, Skype, Chromium, etc., are good candidates
- Opera comes with
libffmpeg.so
, but it does not seem to work
cd / find . -iname "libffmpeg.so" ./usr/share/code/libffmpeg.so ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so ./usr/lib/slack/libffmpeg.so
- Update the path of
libffmpeg.so
in Opera foldersudo nano /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/resources/ffmpeg_preload_config.json # Add any of the find results (Except the one in Opera directory) as the first element of the array "/usr/share/code/libffmpeg.so",
- Option 2
sudo cp /usr/share/code/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/
