Fix DRM Issues for Streaming Websites with Opera

After installing your Linux distribution and your preferred browser (Opera or Opera GX), you may encounter issues when trying to watch videos on Netflix, Prime Video, and other streaming services.

Here’s how to fix this issue in just a few simple steps:

  1. Go to the following address: https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases and download the latest version matching your architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
  2. Close Opera if it’s not already closed, then extract the libffmpeg.so file from the archive and copy it to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/. If the lib_extra folder does not exist, create it.
  3. Restart Opera and enjoy your streaming websites.
