H.264 not working in Firefox 60.1

Gadzinisko · July 16, 2018, 6:44pm

Wasn’t sure if post this in “Multimedia” or elsewhere.

Ever since last update of Firefox (a while ago I admit) I noticed that some web videos weren’t playing. I went to youtube.com/html5 and I see this: https://i.imgur.com/y6ROiWH.png “H.264” and “MSE & H.264” should be working and were working on the previous FF version. I tried updating to FF 61 from mozilla repo, problem still present. I tried renaming .mozilla folder to refresh the browser and see if it was some setting, still doesn’t work. I tried removing Packman and taking all the codecs from official repo, but that also failed.

Problem only affects my desktop, me notebook that also runs Leap 15 has everything on this youtube page checked.

For now I reverted the update and use previous FF version, but I can’t dodge the updates forever.

Oops, just after posting this I came up with potential root of the problem myself… and fixed it by myself after all. Now everything seems to be working fine.

Sorry for being to eager with posting this. Can somebody delete it seeing as it’s a clutter?

OrsoBruno · July 16, 2018, 7:02pm

Go to the “about:addons” page and check if the H264 plugin is set to “Always activate”.
If you click the “Preferences” button you should see that it was updated July 9.

EDIT: OK, nice to see you have solved it, problem solved. No need to delete this thread as clutter

I have exactly the same problem: how did you fix it?

n3rdy · July 25, 2018, 10:29pm

I think activating / installing the plugin will fix the problem, this only happened I guess on firefox it doesn’t occur on my google chrome(for now).

svalx · July 25, 2018, 11:19pm

Unfortunately, no. According to the wiki, the Cisco H.264 plugin is not involved in video decoding, it is only intended for WebRTC. But I checked - it’s always active. The problem is probably in libav, but I’ve done everything as the wiki says, all the libraries from Packman are installed. How to obtain additional diagnostic data?

I_A · July 26, 2018, 7:49am

was that a clean install or an upgrade
what graphic card and driver do you have

sudo lspci | grep VGA

tell us your repo list

zypper lr -d

as you said Firefox uses the system ffmpeg for decoding tell us from where is your ffmpeg and it’s libraries

zypper se -si ffmpeg
zypper se -si libav*

Today morning after update some files video playing (h.264) become broken in all browsers.
updated files:

libavutil56 (4.0.1)
libsodium23 (1.0.16)
libswresample3 (4.0.1)
libavcodec58 (4.0.1)
libavformat58 (4.0.10
wine
libavutil55 (3.4.4)
libpostproc54 (3.4.4)
libavresample3 (3.4.4)
libswscale4 (3.4.4)
libswresample2 (3.4.4)
libavcodec57 (3.4.4)
libavfilter6 (3.4.4)
libavdevice57 (3.4.4)
ffmpeg-3 (3.4.4)
chromium

I tryed to remove packman repository and then install again from “1-click” links - it doesn’t helps.

This issue appear after upgrade. Perhaps a related problem with the playback of video in totem - it jerks, although previously played well…

zaburt · July 26, 2018, 11:06pm

If you have Chromium installed, latest update breaks video playback for Firefox on both Leap 15.0 and 42.3. Bugzilla entry here https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1102793 .

As a workaround you can remove the new FFmpeg-4 packages and latest Chromium packages (libavutil56 libswresample3 libavcodec58 libavformat58 chromium) but with this change you won’t have Chromium available.

I_A · July 27, 2018, 1:49am

I’d say zaburt is right
I don’t have Chromium (I do have Vivaldi tho) installed and I have ffmpeg 3.4 (inc libav* 2.8 and 3.4) from packman installed

and I have no issues playing h264 video

@LokiDrow you do have ffmpeg libraries 4.0.1 installed you could remove them inc Chromium and wait for a fix
@svalx your repo’s look fine as you did a live upgrade I’d check for old 42.x packages that might have been left around after the upgrade

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{Name}:%{Distribution}
" | grep -F "42"

you could also do another full vendor change to packman

what does youtube say about your browsers capabilities
https://www.youtube.com/html5
I have webm disabled via an addon (I prefer h264 as my gpu can decode it in hardware)
this is what google says my browser can decode
https://i.imgur.com/RRBygim.png

this was reported in the bugzilla but I’m not sure when a fix would be out as packman hasn’t build ffmpeg4 for LEAP 15 or 42 I’d downgrade chromium and remove ffmpeg4 from OSS as it is crippled and won’t play restricted formats
this should be fixed as soon as packman builds ffmpeg4 for LEAP (they do have a TW build)

for completeness sake the addon I use to disable webm is h264ify

you can actually just roll back Chromium to an earlier version and keep the new ffmpeg packages. This will at least get you video playback in Chromium - but doesn’t help with firefox unfortunately. I guess we just need to wait on Packman to package a version of libavcodec58

farcusnz · July 27, 2018, 2:00pm

looks like the updated ffmpeg4 libraries (libavcodec58, libavfilter58) are now available in packman.
Should fix up video playback in Chromium and Firefox.

lokidrow · July 27, 2018, 2:46pm

Yes, now it fixed.

libavutil56
libswresample3
libavformat58

libavfilter7
libavresample4
libpostproc55
libswscale5

I installed the latest updates but the problem persists. I also tried a clean profile via firefox -Profilemanager but that didn’t help either: https://www.youtube.com/html5/ marks “H.264” and “MSE & H.264” as unsupported.

I don’t understand the posts talking about chromium, but I do have chromium installed. On chromium, https://www.youtube.com/html5/ does mark “H.264” and “MSE & H.264” as supported so I don’t know how to proceed with this problem.

I do notice that these packages should be from Packman but aren’t. Which can only happen because the Update repository is the only source available.

Deleting libav*58 does want to change chromium to the previous version. So this is an invisible package conflict?

Deleting libavutil56 wants to delete libswresample3 which I opted not to do.

EDIT: Deleting libav*58 and reverting chromium solved the problem!

Sauerland · July 28, 2018, 10:05pm

The ffmpeg-4 from Packman is broken for Leap 42.3, so switch to the chromium Version before the Update.

This updates helped me too. Now all formats playing fine.

@I_A thanks for the tip about the old packages, there were a lot of them in my system.

ae_lex · July 29, 2018, 3:46am

So ffmpeg-4 & chromium is: libavutil56 libswresample3 libavcodec58 libavformat58 chromium !?

Do you mean from another repository?

Yes, I know. It was the only version available at the time. But your PS reminded me to check it and there’s a Leap 42.3 version available now. Thanks!
