Steps to reproduce:

Installed ffmpeg-full 19.08 for smooth h.264 playback. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1628203

Actual results:

H.264 videos play smoothly. Netflix stopped working. Netflix does work with ffmpeg-full 20.08.

Edited in /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.mozilla.firefox/current/active/metadata:

[Extension org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full]
directory=lib/ffmpeg
add-ld-path=.
no-autodownload=true
version=20.08

Expected results:

Netflix should work with 19.08 OR video playback with 20.08

Additional info:

Netflix error: F7355

  • libavcodec-extra installed
  • Openh264 plugin and wivedine plugin activated

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Audio/Video: Playback
Product: Firefox → Core

Apparently I did not have the proper version installed, BUT all the articles I found installed 19.08. It seems for firefox 85 it is necessary to install 20.08!.

flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full (choose 20.08)
