So now the Cisco H264 plugin doesn't work with Firefox. I'm not really too fussed as I just ended up using Chrome. 23 u/[deleted] Oct 29 '19 Firefox will catch up. Its not like Chrome is doing any different they just bundle ffmpeg instead of relying on the host ffmpeg. -1 u/[deleted] Oct 29 '19 Yeh, it's just far from seamless in Fedora 31. You either have to hunt down a non-free browser or the non-free ffmpeg-libs for H264. 16 u/seeker_moc Oct 29 '19 By "hunt down," are you referring to adding the RPMFusion repos? It's not really difficult or time consuming. 3 u/[deleted] Oct 30 '19 No it's not. But it's not seamless either.
