Steps to reproduce:

After updating these packages

[2025-10-08T02:01:23+0300] [ALPM] upgraded ffmpeg (2:7.1.1-5 -> 2:8.0-2)
[2025-10-08T02:01:23+0300] [ALPM] upgraded libvpx (1.15.0-1 -> 1.15.2-2)```


Actual results:

Streaming media is not playing. For example, on the site rezka.ag (authorisation is required), or https://optiview.dolby.com/resources/demos/test-stream/

Developer console: ```"Cannot play media. No decoders for requested formats: application/vnd.apple.mpegurl"```
$ firefox-developer-edition:

firefox-nightly-bin-145.0a1.20251007.213923 also affected. I think it's because of the new version of ffmpeg.

I apologise for the incorrect tags in the description.

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

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

Arch built the latest version of Firefox on ffmpeg4.4(thanks Yochanan from Manjaro Team for information):
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/firefox/-/issues/19

So, installing ffmpeg4.4 solves my problem.

The bug is still a valid bug for others if its broken with ffmpeg 8... cf https://marc.info/?t=176217360500004&r=1&w=2

Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Ever confirmed: true
Resolution: WORKSFORME → ---

actually, probably dupe there
