Netflix Issue
-
Hey. So I'm having a problem with Netflix. I'm a longtime Vivaldi user, and I've had my three streaming services that I've watched on it for most of that time. But suddenly, Netflix won't air on my browser. Their customer service insists that the only solution is for me to change browsers. I'm reluctant to do that, partly because if I change for one thing, I'll end up changing for everything eventually, which will end up being a huge pita. But also because two of them (a rep and a supervisor) tried almost no trouble shooting steps before telling me to do it.
I've received sound technical advice in this forum before, and it's my hope that someone who is smarter about these things than I am can come through for me again and tell me a way to watch Netflix on Vivaldi. Thanks in advance.

@CStallone I had this problem a while ago on Windows - one of my Vivaldi installations refused to play Netflix regardless of whether I used a fresh profile or not, another installation worked just fine. I didn't do too much research into the issue because I was just moving from Windows to Linux anyway and it works just fine on Linux.
So I haven't tried this hint yet myself but try and see if it works for you
@Jainil2003 said in Why Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, Spotify Does not work in the Latest Version of Vivaldi.:
go to vivaldi://components and update Widevine Content Decryption Module
Usually on Win11 running Vivaldi Snapshot builds. Opinionated about working efficiently with email. Folders are evil | Mail workflow: receive, read, reply, mark as read, done.

@WildEnte: okay, so is there no way to make it work on Wndows?

Did you try this as mentioned above?

(Rereading my previous post I realize that I have not made obvious that this was a hint)
If this doesn't work then that doesn't mean it can't work in Windows, it just means I don't know.
