Hi,

I'm a little confused about the h.264 codec and chromium in 15.5.
I can play the video from
https://html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/

in both chromium-119.0.6045.199-bp155.1917.5.x86_64 and
firefox-esr-115.6.0-lp155.1.1.x86_64.

But when I try to join a webex meeting with chromium, it tells me

"Video and shared content not supported by browser settings
 Activate the H.264 video codec in your browser settings so people
 can see your video and shared content and you can see other videos
 and shared content."

Firefox works fine. chromium also says "not supported" on
https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/pc_test_no_h264.html
while Firefox says "supported".

I've installed chromium-ffmpeg-extra from packman and added rpms from
http://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/openSUSE_Leap/x86_64/
but it doesn't change anything.

Is there anything else I can try to get webex running in chromium?


Does the Leap 15.5 update several days ago solve your problem?  The error messages on Chrome were not quite what you were seeing, but most videos on YouTube would not play.
