There are a plethora of video formats, and you'll often not have a clue what codec is being used (things like .avi .mov .mpg filename suffixes don't indicate what's really inside them). At least installing ffmpeg will get just about everything supported in one go. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

I was told I should install ffmpeg. I had used Fedora 32 before, and Firefox in it, and had been able to view videos without having to install additional software. I have yet to install ffmpeg. I am too lazy to activate the rpm fusion repository. Im just hoping some new Firefox update will get my videos going. I can't even watch Netflix. Good luck, Please let me know if you find out how to get videos playing, Well I had tried everything else so I activited the rpm fusion repository, installled ffmpeg (a HUGE download and install) and it solved my problem.

Firefox unable to play online videos
I am running Fedora 32 up to date. It is a relatively new install and I noticed a few days ago Firefox is unable to play any online videos, including those on CNN.COM and Foxnews.com as well as other sites. I get various errors including error #4 from CNN. On foxnews the circular loading image just continues forever. I noticed Saturday I believe Firefox was updated to 80.0.1.2 but I don't recall whether it was able to handle online video before the update. How can I debug this?
