Libffmpeg and PepperFlash are both quite amenable to being 're-located' via the tee command, so I've left those two clauses as they are, with very minor modification.Įxperimentation has shown that although Opera pouts like a spoilt brat & refuses to play ball IF it can't read Widevine from /opt/google/chrome, said directory doesn't have to actually reside in that location. Ln -s $HERE/opera/WidevineCdm /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm Tee '$HERE'/opera/resources/pepper_flash_config.json >/dev/null /dev/null <used a combination of approaches to 'fix' this intransigence on Opera's part. The issue has always revolved around Opera's refusal to 'read' Widevine from any other location than /opt/google/chrome.a location we haven't really used in Puppy since Google flushed 32-bit Linux builds down the pan way back in 2016. It did the job, but the browser wasn't as easy-to-use as I would have liked it to be. The last couple of packages I released of this had made use of a small SFS for 'loading' libffmpeg/Widevine before starting the browser, which was - as I openly admitted - a somewhat 'clunky' workaround. A modern browser that won't access it is a waste of time as far as I'm concerned.

NetFlix, as y'all know, is a pre-requisite for me. These problems have now been finally resolved. I've always liked it, though some of you may recall the merry issues I had with the earlier releases as far as the media codecs/Widevine, etc., were concerned. Now then this will be the 'regular' thread for Opera-portable.
