I started the latest chromium, went to vimeo.com, and tried to play a video. It failed with a message about the player. I am able to play videos with firefox, so I think this is specific to chromium. I don't normally run chromium, so this might be expected behavior without the widevine plugin installed. Fedora will not include patent encumbered software, and mp4 is patent encumbered. You will have to follow the directions on the page you pointed to. To follow those instructions you will have to install the chrome browser, and then copy the libraries over, and uninstall chrome if you don't want it installed. Maybe someone more knowledgeable of chromium can clarify whether the widevine plugin is necessary to play mp4 videos. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
