Hi, I’m on fedora 38, rpmfusion enabled, ffmpeg-libs installed, libavcodec-freeworld installed as explained in the chromium’s README.fedora file, but i cannot play certain video files i had no trouble playing with chromium-freeworld (which is now deprecated).
I already followed the rpmfusion’s multimedia howto to install all possible codecs.
an example video i cannot play is this
Note that i have no problem playing that file in google’s chrome, firefox or vlc after i downloaded it.
The h264 test page shows the same output in both chromium and chrome, and i can play the same formats from this page
Any clues?
Which additional gstreamer1 packages have you installed.?
in addition to
vlc
With all those I can play the video you linked as unable to play.

i got all the one you mention, in particular the following:
$ sudo dnf list --installed | grep -E 'gstreamer1-plugin|freeworld|ffmpeg' | cut -d ' ' -f 1
compat-ffmpeg4.x86_64
ffmpeg.x86_64
ffmpeg-libs.x86_64
ffmpegthumbs.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugin-libav.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugin-openh264.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-fluidsynth.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-wildmidi.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-zbar.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-base.i686
gstreamer1-plugins-base.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-good.i686
gstreamer1-plugins-good.x86_64

gstreamer1-plugins-ugly.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free.x86_64
libavcodec-freeworld.x86_64
libheif-freeworld.x86_64``
I only can play that link using google’s chrome (and firefox and the deprecated chromium-freeworld), but not chromium
Would you mind sharing your full list of installed packages? I’m willing to check them one by one to get chromium to work…
Btw, I also tried with a clean user (meaning no old chromium config, no extensions, …) with no luck
Sorry, I misunderstood which browser was causing the issues.
