Didn’t some distro remove hardware transcoding support for some non-free codecs for AMD hardware? I remember being really pissed at Manjaro for that a while ago when I noticed Plex was devouring my CPU. Maybe something related to that if you got AMD and hardware acceleration is forced?

Just use VLC, problem solved

The Fedora documentation has the answer: Installing plugins for playing movies and music

Fedora (combined with RHEL) has great documentation, take an hour, read the docs and you’ll have a great experience.

I just installed fedora a couple of days ago and this happens to me too…

I guess I’ll try a different distro 🤷‍♂️ it was being a nice experience until I tried to play a video

insteall it from dnf, not flatpak
