I don't use gnome. This is KDE. I did not download any packages from anywhere. In FF, I went to Add-Ons--->Plugins and selected "Always Activate" for the OpenH264 plugin. FWIW, the exact same thing happens in F27. Which seems to be nothing. A message is shown above the plug-in description saying it will be installed soon, and it never gets installed. In F27 doing "dnf install ffmpeg-libs" (which brings in 22 dependencies) get you H.264 support according to youtube. > > If the former, then that's likely because the f28 > fedora-cisco-openh264 repositories are not populated yet. > (I installed the f27 packages by replacing $releasever in > the fedora-cisco-openh264 repo config with 27 to test.) > > If it's the latter, then I'm curious where that occurs. Well, since the F27 fedora-cisco-openh264 is populated it would seem to indicate that repository isn't relevant to this. > >> I just now upgraded an F27 laptop to F28.

It would seem the answer is to install the appropriate ffmeg libs for the version of fedora one is running. Looking forward to testing when FF60 comes out. Even though I don't use FF all that much. :-) -- Conjecture is just a conclusion based on incomplete information. It isn't a fact.
