bad experience with default totem/video player #518

Closed dikasetyaprayogi closed 6 months ago

dikasetyaprayogi commented 6 months ago

Describe the bug not sure if this happen to everyone but based on my experience both in f38 and f39 silverblue fresh install, the default totem shipped always broke (cant play, black screen, sounds only, failed video thumbnail, etc..)

To Reproduce open videos with default totem from file manager (fresh installed OS)

Expected behavior a default shipped software should be stable and just works

OS version:

Additional context advanced user may know their way to resolve this issue, in my experience either by installing totem,openh264 or ffmpegthumbnailer via rpm-ostree. but i wish silverblue just work out of the box to be more appeal for general user.

Fedora is limited by US law. Probably the best improvement that could be made is to have a Fedora flatpak version of the openh264 extension, which appears to be on the roadmap: https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/flatpak/fedora-flatpaks/-/issues/13#h264-video-playback-out-of-the-box

Ideally, thumbnailers should be flatpaks as well: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4923

Currently, the best option for most users is to install apps from Flathub rather than layering with rpm-ostree.
