However, I did happen to have a 42.2 VM, which I had created before installing it as my main OS. That VM played those videos. I then cloned that VM and verified it played the video. Next, I updated the cloned VM to the latest updates and SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, the videos now fail. I went back to the original VM and those videos played OK. So, this problem was caused by some update that appeared with the past 2 weeks or so. I verified this by taking a VM where the videos worked, but then failed after the updates.

Incidentally, I first came across this problem on my desktop system and also experienced it on my notebook. Both the 42.2 and Windows 10 Virtualbox VMs are on my desktop system.

Find out what file does avc1.4d400d?

Found two sites:

http://www.leanbackplayer.com/test/h5mt.html

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16363167/html5-video-tag-codecs-attribut...

So, was there an update recently that would affect that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

On the Spanish mail list someone commented a more or less similar problem (Windows). But he can download the video using wget (which you can get using the cliget addon to firefox). I guess that you can instead of wget give the link to VLC and download while watching on the fly. Or you can try using "youtube-dl", a CLI command to which you give the page URL and it parses the page to download the video. This is the one I use (packman). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Why should any of that be necessary? It worked fine, until a recent update.

Yes, I know, but: you find out if those tools can get the videos, two, you get a backup method. And you can add the info to the bugzilla. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

All the videos work for me. 42.2 up to date. Packman repository in play. Chrome, vivaldi and firefox.

I have heard privately from another list member who is having the same problem. Also, given that I was able to recreate the problem simply by updating an existing VM shows the updates caused the problem That's now 3 out of 3 systems where it fails for me. I have no idea why you're not experiencing the problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It was caused by ffmpeg creating a cuda specific h264 codec and the browsers preferring it but it won't work on video hardware that doesn't support it. I had to switch to openSUSE's official ffmpeg to see the bug in firefox. I rebuilt ffmpeg without cuda and the problem was solved. The update is in update test atm and will appear soon. The reason most other users didn't see the bug is that they use Packman ffmpeg.

How curious! Thank you for the feedback. :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
