Description of problem: Firefox OpenH264 Plugin for WebRTC (mozilla-openh264 from repository fedora-cisco-openh264) is not recognized or does not work. Instead, after pressing "Check for Updates" in Settings -> Add-Ons -> Plugins, the Mozilla-Plugin is downloaded and installed. According to [1] the Mozilla Plugin should not be downloaded automatically in Fedora due to licensing issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-76.0.1-1.fc32.x86_64 and mozilla-openh264-2.1.0-1.fc32.x86_64. mozilla-openh264 is installed from fedora-cisco-openh264. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mozilla-openh264 from fedora-cisco-openh264 as explained in [1] 2. Create a Firefox fresh profile, activate the WebRTC H264 Cisco Plugin in Settings -> Add-Ons -> Plugins 3. Check about:plugins. It shows: Datei: system-installed Pfad: /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/d1qgjuys.xxx/gmp-gmpopenh264/system-installed Version: system-installed 4. Test functionality https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/pc_test.html (check Require H.264 video) -> "No H264 found in the offer!!!" 5. Click "Check for updates" in Settings -> Add-Ons -> Plugins and wait some time 6. Do the WebRTC test again -> "HIP HIP HOORAY" Actual results: WebRTC test responds with "No H264 found in the offer!!!" as long as it is shown as "system-installed". It works after step 5 with the Mozilla Plug-In (excerpt from about:plugins below). Datei: 1.8.1.1 Pfad: /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/d1qgjuys.xxx/gmp-gmpopenh264/1.8.1.1 Version: 1.8.1.1 Expected results: a) WebRTC test should work with system-installed plugin and b) should not be replaced by Mozilla-Download after pressing check for updates in Settings -> Add-Ons -> Plugins. Additional info: Please also note this bug in status "closed EOL": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1648024 I did not change any related settings in about:config. The path under 3. does not exist. OS: Fedora 32 Workstation (with Gnome) [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264
(In reply to wurstsemmel from comment #0) > Expected results: > > a) WebRTC test should work with system-installed plugin and ... Please also see my related bug report on gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 not working in Gnome Videos (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1840867).
Should be already fixed in latest updates by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1883006
Yes, it works with the latest updates with system-installed plugin (mozilla-openh264). Thanks for the great work! (Please close the bug or let me know if I should/can do it.)
