Comment (by ken@…):
Bad news - without any additions, firefox will play ogg/theora (.ogv)
videos - but nothing else.
For mkv and avi it only offers to save the video.
For that Big Buck Bunny mp4 it offers 'open with' but then reports - no
applications found for "Quick Time video" files. Similarly for mov, also
for wmv except wmv all seem to be described as "application/download" mime
type.
It does play youtube.
On the other system where I first built ff48.0 it was able to open the mp4
and at least some of the others, so I guess that runtime ffmpeg '''is'''
needed.
When I get as far as ffmpeg I'll confirm that.
