I run mplayer, and have no issues with mp4. Have you tried an install of mplayer and ffmpeg from rpmfusion? They might even pull in the dependency that seems to be missing for vlc with their install, and then vlc will work as well. I *have* had this exact issue intermittently with firefox playing mp4 videos on vimeo, even when it works on mp4s elsewhere. I suspect that is a problem with their player or feed, though, not with my setup. > This is what I currently have installed: > gstreamer-0.10.36-11.fc21.x86_64 > gstreamer1-vaapi-0.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-13.fc23.i686 > gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.6.1-2.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer1-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-28.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree-0.10.23-3.fc22.x86_64 > gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.19-18.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.6.1-1.fc23.i686 > gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.23-7.fc22.x86_64 > gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.31-15.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-plugins-espeak-0.4.0-7.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.13-15.fc22.x86_64 > gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-13.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras-0.10.23-28.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamermm-0.10.11-8.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-0.10.36-13.fc23.i686 > gstreamer1-libav-1.6.1-2.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-0.10.36-13.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer-tools-0.10.36-13.fc23.x86_64 > gstreamer1-1.6.1-1.fc23.i686 Here's a list of gstreamer related packages I have installed.

Occasionally, when I have a problem, I switch back to see if it is gstreamer related. And, yes, I'm still on f21. I have no internet facing services enabled, and I'm running kernel 4.4, and I compile my main vector for vulnerabilities, firefox, from the nightly sources daily. I'll install from scratch eventually (probably f24, it looks like it's going to be a winner and the template for the future), but for now, this works. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
