I am running Fedora 32 up to date. It is a relatively

I get various errors including error #4 from CNN. On foxnews
the circular loading image just continues forever.
I noticed Saturday I believe Firefox was updated to 80.0.1.2 but I
don't recall whether it was able to handle online video
before the update.
I posted a message about this a few weeks ago

. I was told I should install ffmpeg. I had used Fedora 32 before, and
Firefox in it, and had been able to view videos without having to
install additional software.
I have yet to install ffmpeg. I am too lazy to activate the rpm fusion
repository. Im just hoping some new Firefox update will get my videos
going. I can't even watch Netflix.
Good luck,
Please let me know if you find out how to get videos playing,
Well I had tried everything else so I activited the rpm fusion
repository, installled ffmpeg (a HUGE download and install) and it
solved my problem. Videos now work everywhere.
Thanks for the suggestion and I jhope it will solve your problem as well.
Frank
