This is something I first saw at first branch and I have continued
monitoring it since. There has been no change.
The problem is that MP4, and AVI videos will not play on Totem. This is
probably not a blocker based on the current criteria. I doubt that a bug
report is even a proper thing to do. However this seems likely to cause
some discontent and commentary.
My current clean install is from Fedora-WS-Live-37-20221013-n-0. It is
fully updated. I have also loaded the Free video codecs from
RPMFusion.org. In Software --> Codecs when I try to install the the
gstreamer-libav Software says it's not available. So it can't be
installed. I've looked for it on
RPMFusion.org with no luck. I found
gstreamer1-plugin-libav in the fedora repo then installed in and did a
reboot. This solved the problem. MP4, and AVI videos now play in totem.
Software --> Codecs still says that gstreamer-libav is not available.
I think this either needs to be installed by default and remove it from
Software --> Codecs or put it back in
RPMFusion.org where it can be
installed the way users are used to. For now I'll just add it to my
install script.
gstreamer1-plugin-libav has no AppStream data for GNOME Software to
recognize it. If someone wants to write a metainfo file for it, pull
requests are welcome.
