Description of problem: On a fresh install of Fedora 36, Youtube refuses to play some videos like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3gFBri0ZpU. Instead of playing, the error pops up and says: "An error occured. Try again later. (Playback ID: fBPIhprijn3DZILG)". I was unable to load the video even after refreshing the page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Firefox 100 & 104 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Running in terminal "dnf install -y ffmpeg-free" with RPM repositories enabled the problem was fixed. I don't know if this is much of a bug but newer Linux users would benifit from having Firefox work out of the box.
It's because clean Fedora 36 install does not have mozilla-openh264 package installed - and that provides the H264 playback. mozilla-openh264 is required as Recommends: mozilla-openh264 >= 2.1.1 so I'm not sure if that's supposed to be installed or not by default.

We can't distribute this package. It should get pulled in on the first system upgrade. (In reply to Martin Stransky from comment #2) > These may be related: > > https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/84 The here goal is to install it automatically in the future.
I just tested that and it is not puled by update. I need to run 'dnf install' explicitly.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '36'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AutoFirstBootServices is something that is supposed to help with this.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
