I followed Ed's advice and installed chromium-libs-media-freeworld and
chromium-vaapi from RPMFusion.  In downgraded the fedora chromium to 77,
but installed chromium-freeworld-78.

Name        : chromium-freeworld
Version     : 78.0.3904.108
Release     : 1.fc31
Architecture: x86_64

And when I run chromium-freeworld, instead of chromium, I am able to
play videos.

There are only 39 commits between 77 and 78, and 77 was built only 2
months ago, so it isn't like it is ancient.  I didn't check security
updates, so there might be some critical update, but likely not.
