hey there. I just installed (tried a couple re-installs even) of Fedora Workstation, latest version on my desktop and am having issues updating after the first boot. Interestingly, it was working early on an install I did, but I had to re-install for reasons and it no longer works.
Is anyone able to verify if this resource really is missing from the server?
Here is my output of sudo dnf update:

I cannot reach this endpoint from my browser either. Could this be down for everyone, or is it something about my system or IP specifically?
When I try to install that package, it says itās already installed: sudo dnf install noopenh264
Package "noopenh264-0.1.0~openh264_2.4.1-2.fc41.x86_64" is already installed.
Iām open to workarounds - not sure if I use this codec regularly or not, but Iād just like to update my system without using the --exclude everytime
So just an update, I can now reach the rpm file in my browser and download it, but trying to install from that throws the same 404 error on the repo. I will try installing a VPN to see if itās possible that my IP has been restricted for some reason.
Good to know Iām not the only one. Iāll be sure to post if I find a workaround or solution. Sounds like it may just be a server problem or something though.
Interesting. It seems like that performs the updates without issue. I assume I still donāt have the codec, but maybe I can get by without it. Or try re-enabling the repo in the future to see if it indeed was some sort of outage. Appreciate the help!
I am from Montenegro and I am facing the same issue. I can ping the ip that it gives me and it works but when i try opening the link in the browser it gives me:

Debian user since the 90ās. Today is my first Red Hat / Fedora experience since like 15-20 years ago. What a joke. Cant install Fedora because Fedora doesnāt even have MIRRORS on the packages if one host is down or not workingā¦
Sorry for the rant, nice way to not recommend Fedora and Red Hat at work.
No way to exclude this package in the installer or just Ignore!? The whole installation process is stopped.
(btw, I tried from many EU countries, it isnāt a geoblocking issueā¦ at least not if you wish to block EU)
Based on my/our āinvestigationsā I would conclude that it is either an issue with URL rewriting at ciscobinary.openh264.org or an issue with the extra / that shouldnāt be there in the dnf repository that needs to be resolved.
I am relaxed ā¦ itās just incredible that it is totally broken and Fedora hasnāt put any mirrors or āIgnoreā optionsā¦
Seems pretty stupid that you canāt even install the OS because of one package, which isnāt even needed to GNOME to run, I just want to install Fedora with default desktop environment and I canāt chose to NOT install this package from the installer.
Why does the installer just abort instead of giving the user the option to ignore at least?
Of course I can install Fedora without GNOME and then install it manually. Thatās not the point, point is the installer is broken if it requires non-mirrored files, that are not even required by the Desktop Env, and just stops the installation.
