Since my second to most recent post, I tried gnome with X11.
Got a useful error message: no H.264 decoder.
Now, with X11, videos can play videos.
Firefox can play videos with either wayland or X11.
I did a
sudo dnf install 'mesa-*'
It went through, but without apparent effect.
I also did a
sudo dnf install'*nvidia*', but got a whole lot of conflicting requests:

I added some line breaks for legibility.

mesa is what provides opengl.
Best guess is:
mesa-dri-drivers, mesa-vdpau-drivers and mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
that have video drivers, but also some other mesa pieces that provide
opengl may need to be install (or installing the above may install
those extra pieces).
I have
mesa-dri-drivers.x86_64 23.1.8-1.fc38
mesa-vdpau-drivers.x86_64 23.1.8-1.fc38
mesa-va-drivers.x86_64 23.1.8-1.fc38
and lots of others.
glxgears and glxinfo will tell you the opengl install state.
glxgears will run on bot X11 and wayland.
On wayland I have
[hennebry@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-2723-dynamic ~]$ glxgears -info
GL_RENDERER = llvmpipe (LLVM 16.0.6, 128 bits)
GL_VERSION = 4.5 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 23.1.8
GL_VENDOR = Mesa
The claimed frame rate is over 700.
On X11, the renderer is i915 (chipset Q33) and the
claimed frame rate just under 60.
On both glxinfo claims 390 GLX Visuals and 840 GLXFBConfigs,
all of which have None or Slow as a caveat.
i915 reminds me:
My monitor's native resolution is 1440x900.
After installing F35, 'twas a mighty struggle
to get anything other than 640x480.
I do not recall details of the battle.

Can anyone play videos on F38?
If so, how did you do it?
Firefox in uncommunicative when it will not play a video.
Videos says "cannot initialise OpenGL support".
