Problem

I’ve installed Codecs from RPMfusion and official repository, from software and command line. But Still I can’t run 10bit HEVC or 10bit H.264 videos in totem.

This is how it looks like

Is this a Fedora-specific issue? If not, it’s probably best addressed as a bug report with the upstream project at Issues · GNOME / totem · GitLab.

It was fedora specific issue, I just moved in to Fedora. I could play these videos in Manjaro. I found out that It was Hardware Accelerated Codec.

After adding rpmfusion and installing codecs from Gnome software (search “Multimedia Codec” and install everything), I had to this: Howto/Multimedia - RPM Fusion

Yes, I have the RPM Fusion enabled and I do not have any problems playing the specified videos on Fedora.
