Hi,
I have videos from my security camera that used to play in Firefox, but have stopped playing.
The video plays only for 1 second and then freezes. The sound component seems to be fine.
I am not sure where to start investigating from. Can you please help?
Please mention the Desktop you are using, as well, in case it might be specific to that.
Also, let us know: Does that Video play in any of the other multimedia players?
I am using Tumbleweed. The video does play in VLC media player, just not in Firefox.
Tumbleweed is the OS. What Desktop are you using? Gnome, KDE, Xfce, Geranium, or ???
Sorry, I am using KDE.
There is ANOTHER thread started close to the time of your thread where audio does not work.
I just tried accessing our Nest security camera system, and our Wyze security camera system, and all works fine. Using latest TW and am also on KDE DE.
Can you give another example, like maybe YouTube or whatever , that is not “your security camera system” so others can test
I haven’t noticed any issue with YouTube videos.
The videos from the security camera used to play fine up until maybe a week ago. Not sure what I have done, but they don’t play anymore.
The videos work fine on Firefox in Windows.
I had a problem to play some youtube videos in Firefox after the remove (during installation of snapshot 20240124) of phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer and I needed to install phonon4qt5-backend-vlc.
I suggest that you verify that this backedn is installed

Philippe
hi,
Ok. I have similar problem after installing Kernel 7’s with mp4 videos and no Videos in Firefox.
MP4 Videos play in mpayer and vlc but not in digikam.
Its odd because Videos still work on some os’s in
Firefox Where its not working is on an HP-Laptop.
Hi,
I hope this helps someone else,
This solved the h264 and mp4 videos not playing on this HP-Laptop,
the following packages were changed to repo

and also in digikam but without sound.
cheersHaven’t seen it so far, but why aren’t you using the h264 repo that we have now?
hi knurpht,
thanks for the info, changed to the h264 repos you pointed to,
but no change symptoms, no sound in DigiKam videos.
cheers
Do you use pipewire or are you still on pulseaudio ?
pactl info | grep "Server Name"
I’m using pipewire.
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.0.3)
Does this count as being on Pipewire?
Yes, it does.
