We now support playback via openh264 but I'm not sure how that interacts with flatpak sandbox. I switched to Flathub Firefox in the meantime, so I'm not sure if the issue is still there. I am successfully reproducing this issue on my system. I use a different Twitch video for reproduction, as the video from the issue description is no longer available. The video currently used for reproduction: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/805606231 Version info: # flatpak info org.mozilla.Firefox Firefox - Web Browser ID: org.mozilla.Firefox Ref: app/org.mozilla.Firefox/x86_64/stable Arch: x86_64 Branch: stable Version: 82.0.3 License: GPL-3.0+ Origin: fedora Collection: Installation: system Installed: 272.6 MB Runtime: org.fedoraproject.Platform/x86_64/f33 Sdk: org.fedoraproject.Sdk/x86_64/f33 Commit: b5d22ba2cd8048fcc71a4116e94b7ef92de5fdf709a86c69f4c901a06316bbd9 Subject: Export org.mozilla.Firefox Date: 2020-11-10 05:54:04 +0000 Alt-id: 95136e74cb2a94ce87851d63860d52ec94aded8411376bf7c63e23ddc1d02372 I confirm I cannot reproduce this issue with Flathub Firefox. Still a problem. |
