I've noticed some sites now require HTML5, which Firefox apparently doesn't support, at least not the version in Leap 15.2. I tried installing an addin, but that didn't work.
HTML5 works in Chromium.
Any plans to correct this?

you do realize that if you want latest/greatest, you do not opt for "Leap" <any><version> but use Tumbleweed.

We do, but if sites use html 5, then we need a browser that supports it.

It is working fine here (in firefox).
It probably depends on which packages you have installed from packman.

Yes. Does that mean that it includes everything that has been introduced into FF since that release?

No, it means the reverse. That's the point.

HTML5 "support" is a matter of degree. HTML5 has been around since before the birth of openSUSE. It's in a state of continuous change.

It isn't explicitly firefox stuff. It is versions of libraries used by firefox.
I install anything in packman that contains "ffmpeg" or "libav" in the name. I'm not sure if that is enough.

My FF (same version) score is 503, quite a spread. I do use packman, but can't say if any of those binaries are being called by FF. YaST doesn't indicate anything additionally installed for FF. And that url plays fine in my FF.

James,
This runs perfectly with Firefox 68.9. What does it do in your browser? I go to the site and the CNN clip about Corona virus starts playing and the blonde girl starts jabbering away at it -- all good.
I don't do anything special, just clicked on your link and it started playing.

I got an error about HTML5. This was on an update from 15.1. I'll have to check on my notebook too. Installing the VLC codecs seems to have fixed the problem.

a lot of mails but only sparse information ;-)
So let me try to clarify a few things: HTML5 as explained before is a general term for modern web technologies. The issue for you was about HTML5 video/audio support apparently. The example URL was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuXtfS6QIR8 right? This video is shown to me via VP9 Video and Opus Audio Codec. In that case I find it a bit unexpected that you needed packman for that video. So for Firefox 68 only H.264 should require packman support and it obviously has patent reasons where it doesn't matter if HTML5 is around for a while or not. Also this is now the case for a very long time in openSUSE and there cannot be much done about it.

Works for me. Codec information according to "Statistics for nerds": Codecs avc1.64001f (136) / opus (251) This is apparently H.264 which requires libavcodec from packman. If you have that it should work with Firefox. I'm not sure why it doesn't for you.

I guess it is because you haven't switched all libavcodec to packman and that is also the reason why Chromium works but Firefox doesn't. Both might use different libraries based on what they prefer internally.
Firefox 78 for example (68.x probably similar but haven't looked it up) starts searching with version 58 and then proceeds getting lower. Your version 58 is from Leap not not from Packman. Therefore it does not work. Switch version 58 to packman or remove any version 58 from your system (if it has no deps but most likely it has)

as written from others here, you need the codecs and maybe other things from packman. if you have had only one libavcodec in leap 15.1 (from packman), it was working, now you have 2 different versions of this libavcodec installed in leap 15.2 - this could be some "leftover" from the upgrade version 57 and 58. firefox / chromium seems to use different versions.
i would do the following:
remove older rpms (...57) then change all media related stuff to packman. (as i have written in a other mail at this list a couple of minutes before:)
yast2 / softwaremanagement
view / repositorys chose "packman"
now in the top (over the list of package names) there is in blue color written: "switch system packages" klick on it and all packages what are already on your system AND also installable from the "packman" repo will be changed to packman.
this works in most cases since years for normal use of the system. only if you try to compile things locally you could run into some errors because of the packman rpm's.
and by the way, the codecs have to be from time to time checked, not always older packman codecs (57) will be removed if newer (58) will be installed. if you run into dependency problems, of course you could also have more versions on the system. but check (as mentioned before) that all are from packman.

That seems to have done it for those 2 I posted today. I was unaware of that method for switching to Packman. I had previously done it a package at a time.
tnx.

I guess it is because you haven't switched all libavcodec to packman and that is also the reason why Chromium works but Firefox doesn't. Both might use different libraries based on what they prefer internally.
Firefox 78 for example (68.x probably similar but haven't looked it up) starts searching with version 58 and then proceeds getting lower. Your version 58 is from Leap not not from Packman. Therefore it does not work. Switch version 58 to packman or remove any version 58 from your system (if it has no deps but most likely it has)
So, how do I force that package to use Packman?
It's simplest to go into YaST/Software management, and first go to the Options menu and select "allow vendor change". Then search for libavcodec, highlight the Versions tab, and select the latest Packman package. Click OK to make the change. You may have to change one or more other packages also to Packman, though I think not.

Simon Becherer posted another way, that converts everything in one go.

I haven't installed anything from Packman. I updated my desktop system from 15.1 and ThinkPad from 15.0. I don't ever recall getting Firefox stuff from Packman.
It isn't explicitly firefox stuff. It is versions of libraries used by firefox.
I install anything in packman that contains "ffmpeg" or "libav" in the name. I'm not sure if that is enough.
While Packman helped with the one link I provided, here's another that fails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vepQloYhgqs
Works fine for me, on 68.9.0esr, Leap 15.1
You still haven't done the packman switch.

As mentioned in another note, these problems started with 15.2. I had no problem with 15.1.
Because you have not done the full packman switch. You must ensure to do this every time you install or upgrade openSUSE. You should know this.

Actually, I did this morning and those links now work.
Perhaps adding Packman could be an option during the install, to avoid all this stuff.

not legally possible :-(
and as long as I could test, packman is no more in the community repos... I had to go to the (very good) wiki page and add the repo by hand

Common, you have been here for years, you should know this.

I think the community list is retrieved online from somewhere, so perhaps somebody forgot to update it :-?

There are a lot of people who might not know that who'll get frustrated at this sort of thing. Why doesn't Chromium have the same problem?

may be. It was an update from 15.1 on a little used computer of my linux user group, but network worked.
it had some minor problems (all unused repos removed, no kde complete run at first (but ok after reboot)

In which way? URL you provided fails in both Firefox and Chromium on Leap 15.2 with default repositories.

Every link I provided, that failed with Firefox, worked with Chromium. I tried them with both browsers, before I posted them. I haven't yet seen a URL that fails with it.

There are many ways to do things; now you know of two more. ;)

I was not talking about them, but about you. You are not new, you should know this. The situation is basically the same in decades.
New people are directed by old people here or at the forum at the instructions on how to get multimedia working. I remember the forum has a sticky post in the multimedia area prominently explaining how to setup multimedia.
You can, for instance, google "opensuse multimedia wiki page" and find things.
https://en.opensuse.org/Concepts_multimedia https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Multimedia
Mainly the first one links to several others:
https://en.opensuse.org/Codecs https://www.opensuse-community.org/ https://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats https://en.opensuse.org/Restricted_formats https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Install_Packman_codecs https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Sound_concepts https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Audio_troubleshooting
And don't forget the one I mentioned at the forum: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/536314-Multimedia-Guide-for-openSUSE-Leap-15-1
The 15.2 one hasn't being written yet.
Why doesn't Chromium have the same problem?
I don't have chromium, but I have Chrome, precisely because being commercial it does things differently. Probably includes some codecs inside.
