In Silverblue, I notice that

Here’s what rpm-ostree status says:

 ~  rps

I followed Howto/OSTree - RPM Fusion to swap mesa:

rpm-ostree override remove mesa-va-drivers --install mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
rpm-ostree install mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld

Couldn’t override remove mesa-vdpau-drivers because it said it couldn’t find it.
AMD 5600G (integrated graphics) and no external GPU.

EDIT: I also did the little rpmfusion dance - How to rebase to Fedora Linux 40 on Silverblue - Fedora Magazine

Is anyone able to advise please?
Sorry to tag you directly @siosm, anything you can share should be useful.

Try installing libavcodec-freeworld and then reboot.

rpm-ostree install libavcodec-freeworld

Thank you! That worked.
Adding a link to a page I found related & useful - Firefox Hardware acceleration - Fedora Project Wiki

In case anyone wonders where vainfo comes from, it’s in the package libva-utils.
