G'Day!

I've been having issues with media playback on firefox.

Almost any video source that isn't from youtube cannot play in firefox, giving the error: "No Video with supported format and MIME type found"

Testing the same video on Chromium has no problems.

Using Fedora Linux on an AMD system. And Fedora Flatpak build.

System specs below if required.

Any idea to get this up and running would be really appreciated. I think I already installed the propriety media codecs for fedora since the problem isn't showing up on chromium it looks like a firefox issue.

I should note. The problem persists in troubleshooting mode.

A couple packages that is not normally installed on a new Linux distro install is FFmpeg and libavcodec packages.

It is possible to play some Youtuibe videos without FFmpeg installed however you likely will not be able to play the live streams or recently uploaded videos on Youtube.

Smells like ffmpeg / OS issue and not browser. I have no issues with Rumble and Odysee. see screenshot You should provide a link to that screenshot you posted.
