In Fedora 26 clean installed, I run into sites using H.264 content
that produces a "no video with supported format and MIME type found"
in Firefox as preinstalled; and also Chromium from Fedora repo.
Is this page still valid?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264
Even doing everything on that page, I'm still running into the
following confusion:
1.
about:support in Firefox
Compositing Basic
Hardware H264 Decoding No; Failed to create H264 decoder
Decision Log
HW_COMPOSITING
blocked by default: Acceleration blocked by platform
OPENGL_COMPOSITING
unavailable by default: Hardware compositing is disabled
2.
Numerous examples of site that won't play content

http://abcnews.go.com/US/video/h264-test-16x9-medium-10415218
3.

This says H.264 is not supported
Are there bugs I should file? This is all pretty confusing.
