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 (https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/KBIQRN6JBTDLYE7LMP5NPLHNWC7QTDUO/#3GNTJ3Y7ELRYRI6UOZ3AYX63SXW5CEF6) . 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.
