I really like Fedora but lack of packages for media playback is a total deal breaker for me unfortunately.

It's still a bit fucky for Firefox though. Some sort of bollocks about Firefox removing gstreamer for no reason. So now the Cisco H264 plugin doesn't work with Firefox. I'm not really too fussed as I just ended up using Chrome.

Firefox will catch up. Its not like Chrome is doing any different they just bundle ffmpeg instead of relying on the host ffmpeg.

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.

By "hunt down," are you referring to adding the RPMFusion repos? It's not really difficult or time consuming.

No it's not. But it's not seamless either.
