@vwbusguy have you been able to play videos on Facebook using #Silverblue ? Curious to know tried installing ffmpeg/ ffmpeg-devel does not seem to work. Youtube works fine though. Did not see much about this issue (in Google search results)..
Although it is nothing critical, but.. 🙂

@shaunakhub I'm honestly not on Facebook hardly at all anymore. I'm able to watch videos on here, Twitter, and YouTube with Kinoite, though.

@vwbusguy
I am unfortunately stuck with Facebook as my friends can't use anything else. So, its the only way to keep in touch with them.
Found the solution in the meantime (trial and error) 🙂 . Need to install GStreamer Multimedia Codecs - H.264 from software center.
Thanks for the revert 🙂

@shaunakhub @vwbusguy many choose to use Firefox from Flathub and install the “ffmpeg-full” flatpak platform. You can even optionally remove the Firefox from the base silverblue image so you don’t have two firefoxes ( “rpm-ostree override remove firefox” ). I do this, and for me this means all videos seem to just work.

@pauldoo @shaunakhub That's certainly a choice. I'm using the base image #Firefox on my #Kinoite box and I'm happy with it.
