Fixing Firefox Video Playback in Fedora 37
After upgrading to Fedora 37, I noticed that some videos in Firefox were no longer playing. Instead, the error code 224002 was displayed. I have been using Fedora for years and have never encountered this problem. After some research, it looked like I should enable the OpenH264 Video Codec in the plugin manager and wait for it to download.
Done and done… Except the codec was not downloading no matter how long I waited. Restarting Firefox and deactivating/reactivating the video codec were also not helping. Turns out that the fix is to install the mozilla-openh264 package yourself:
sudo dnf install mozilla-openh264
Not a big deal, but I could have done without the deceptive messaging, Firefox.
