on my Firefox it plays a video which seems to be a standard H.264 one.
You can see also on www.html5test.com if your browser can play H.264.
Interesting. I hereby declare this can of worms officially... open. I loaded that site on both machines. My non-openSUSE box with its newer Firefox scores a bit more highly, but all of the audio/video and codec-related categories are identical. They are both fine with H.264 but it says neither machine can play H.265 (nor MPEG-4 ASP), although I know I have H.265 things installed too on this openSUSE PC.
If not it is typically an issue that the installed libavcodec/ffmpeg is the original openSUSE one which does not allow to play H.264. In that case you need to switch for example to the packman version of those libraries.
All my media and codec-related stuff is from Packman already. It's not really too important. Seems there's a complex load of codecs and sub-codecs within the broad definition of HTML5 and I've hit one of the tricky ones. I didn't want to be believe the lazy message from the web developer could be (somewhat) correct but maybe FF52ESR just doesn't cut it. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
