Is this the problem with totem or are there other codecs I need to install?

Seems like there are issue with gstreamer to discover the “new codecs” the fuller ffmpeg supports.

One needs to remove the registry so the directories can be re-scanned for features…

$ rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.*.bin

Can you confirm that it has solved the issue for you ?

Side note:

Best way to install additional codecs is to use (with rpmfusion installed):
dnf groupupdate multimedia

Then everything will be installed as needed…

I’m not the OP. But clearing the registry fixed the same issue for me. Thank you!
