I don't generally have problems playing videos around the Internet but I've stumbled across one that causes issues on my Leap 42.3 machine. See for example this page (the large video at the top): https://retro.tcl.fr/les-travaux-du-metro-de-la-croix-rousse/
I only see a black background with a badly coded (only partially visible) and annoyingly blasé message at the top saying 'in order to view the video, update your browser.'
I'm on the standard Firefox 52.8.0ESR release from the Leap update repo. If I try with the latest Opera I see the video keyframe but playback still fails. However, on another box running a different Linux distro and with Firefox 58.0.2 (Quantum) the video plays fine.
The info on the video leads me to jwplayer.com, where all the demo videos play fine on my openSUSE machine, so since it seems to be HTML5-based I don't know what specific codec this troublesome video is using. Does anybody running FF52ESR on Leap have it working?
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. 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.
