Strange that firefox can play it, but totem cannot.
AFAIK Firefox has its own built-in codecs, while totem uses the gstreamer library and plugins. Here's what I have:
$ rpm -qa gstreamer* gstreamer1-svt-vp9-0.3.0-11.fc40.x86_64 gstreamermm-1.10.0-22.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-good-qt-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-good-qt6-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-good-gtk-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-1.24.4-1.fc40.i686 gstreamer1-vaapi-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugin-libav-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.24.4-1.fc40.i686 gstreamer1-plugin-openh264-1.24.4-2.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-libs-1.24.4-2.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.24.4-2.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-svt-av1-2.1.0-1.fc40.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.24.4-1.fc40.i686 gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64
Note that gstreamer1-plugins-ugly is from RPMfusion because of licensing issues.
Could not find it in rpnfusion-nonfree-* . Found it in rpmfusion-free-source rpmfusion-free-updates-source rpmfusion-free-debuginfo rpmfusion-free-updates-debuginfo
None of them seem right. I installed the rpmfusion .rpm's listed here: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration I had to use rpm, as firefox just downloaded.
To search for the package, I used sudo dnf --enablerepo=rpmfusion-* whatprovides '*plugins-ugly-1.2*' | grep Repo
From which rpmfusion repo did your gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1.24.4-1.fc40.x86_64 come?
This wrangling with fedora vs. rpmfusion has a familiar ring to it. Once I have the correct repositories, wold it be wise of me to: 1. Delete all the gstreamer stuff. 2. Mark all my rpmfusion repos as having a higher priority than the redhat repos. 3. Install the gstreamer stuff. ?
Would this require booting to a non-graphical level?
