Hi,
As the tittle says, Chrome is unable to play videos from Facebook. It shows an image, but does not start playing. Sometimes - very few - it plays the videos with no sound (and I verified sound is not muted). I tried all suggestions available without success. Firefox plays them without issues, but I do prefer Chrome. Any suggestions? This is Fedora 32/Gnome/Wayland. Thanks.
Just to clarify, are you using google-chrome or chromium-browser? How were they installed/where did you get them from?

Oh, OK, sorry for that. Thanks.

This is Chromium, actually. Version is 81.0.4044.138, for Fedora 32. Installed along with chromium-common and fedora-chromium-config. Acquired from Chromium.
You may be missing some codecs.
You could try installing chromium-freeworld from rpmfusion which bundles some codecs.
Alternatively, if you can link to a specific video that doesn’t work we can try to see what is missing.

Thanks, dalto, it worked like a charm. chromium-freeworld does play the videos. I uninstalled regular chromium.
