The fedora-cisco-openh264 repo provides that in a packaged
form, so enabling the repo and installing it gets you the
plugin binary.  After that you just need to enabled it in
the Firefox config.  That's what I did to test.

Since I installed the package for f27 on an f28 system, I
can't be positive that it didn't work with youtube because
of that or if it wouldn't work even if it was built for f28.
I don't really care enough to dig too much.  I'll try to
check it again once the f28 repos are in place.
