ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As mentioned in
https://discuss.kde.org/t/kcontact-seems-to-failed-work-with-ffmpeg-and-related-libs/47250,
downgrading certain libraries work. On my end, I ran

sudo dnf downgrade libavformat-free
which resulted in downgrading 

- ffmpeg-free
- libavcodec-free
- libavdevice-free
- libavfilter-free
- libavformat-free
- libavutil-free
- libswresample-free
- libswscale-free

to        0:8.0.1-6.fc44   from       0:8.1.1-1.fc44              

which solved the issue. I'm pinning these for now.
