Hello,
I have a freshly installed and updated Fedora 37 running on my Raspberry Pi 4G.
[jordana@pi4g ~]$ uname -a Linux pi4g 6.0.8-300.fc37.aarch64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Nov 11 14:38:11 UTC 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
I happily use it as my daily workstation driver but I am starting to miss my occasional video playback. I can not really make any videos working via Firefox from Youtube or BBC iPlayer.
But even the stock Videos application is giving me the error in the subject on the Apple trailer videos shipping with the build.
Is video playback supported on Raspberry Pi please?
Thank you,
Arpi
Hello,
In ARM Linux, there is some restriction in playback some platform video websites like Netflix. However, Youtube and BBC playback is working just fine. Here some tips:
1- Enable RPMfusion: sudo dnf install [https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm%5D(ht...) -E %fedora).noarch.rpm [https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm...) -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
2- Install some multimedia codecs & applications: sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-{bad-*,good-*,base} gstreamer1- plugin-openh264 gstreamer1-libav --exclude=gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free- devel sudo dnf install lame* --exclude=lame-devel sudo dnf group upgrade --with-optional Multimedia sudo dnf install vlc mpv
There is some issue in Video Player (gnome video player), related to openGL, but you can just ignore that app while playing videos.
I hope that would help.
Sally.

Dear Sally,
Thank you for your swift answer - these indeed were the missing pieces.
Kind regards,

Video playback is but accelerated offload support is not
Thank you Peter
In fact I have followed Sally's hints and now I have video playback from Youtube and BBC iPlayer in Firefox.
However I experience issues with colors of videos when streaming via Firefox. In case I download Youtube video and play it with mpv the colors are good.
Is this a known issue?

Pity that didn't actually make the list for others to be able to also use.

Yes, it will be fixed when mesa 22.3.4 lands in Fedora. Details in bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2131724
Appreciate your swift response - will wait patiently.
Not sure what did not make the list - let me know if I can make any further amendments please.
