Correction: could not initialise openGL support
I've installed pretty much everything I can think of, including *opengl* , *openGL* and *mesa* . No go. Firefox can play local movies.
Maybe a codec issue? Try 'mediainfo' on the file and possibly install any missing codecs from RPMfusion.
$ mediainfo chloe*.MOV | grep -i codec Codec ID : qt 0000.00 (qt ) Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Codec ID : avc1 Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding Codec configuration box : avcC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity Codec ID : mp4a-40-2 Codec ID : mebx Codec ID : mebx Codec ID : mebx
I've not gotten anywhere searching for any of these. 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.
