Well, I did verify that even the FF

I don't believe that this is an issue with required plugins at
this point. As a new example, the video in
https://www.iceni.com/transpdf.htm (screenshot
https://pasteboard.co/JjDtMduG.png), does not load in my Firefox.
However, using the developer tools in Firefox, I downloaded the
embedded video (.mp4) from the link I saw in the Inspector. I was
able to play this downloaded video in the default video player in
Fedora with Gnome.
So I would appreciate if someone tells me if this means that this
is not a codec issue, but maybe some permissions issue or
something else thats happening with Firefox,
FWIW, I have fired up another VM which is 100% stock Fedora 32. The
open264 plugin is disabled
and there is no ffmpeg installed. Result it that the video does not
play.
If I were to add rpmfusion and install ffmpeg I am sure it will
work.
So, have you installed ffmpeg? If not, then I can't be of any more
assistance.
