Yes, it does. I thought of a reason why this might be true. I had
been running a version of rawhide that was updated for many releases,
and decided to stop at F28. I probably carried over into F28 from those
earlier releases whatever is causing your problem, especially if yours
was a new install.
When you say rawhide, are you referring to Fedora rawhide, or rpmfusion
rawhide.
To Todd's point, I noticed in my updates today that rpmfusion had ffmpeg
updates, so that might solve your problem.
Yes, that seems to be one way to get there.
I already had rpmfusion, and this us where I had full HTML5 support from,
including H.264, up to F27. But I did not have rpmfusion-rawhide enabled,
and I lost H.264 after updating to F28.
If you say that you were only on Fedora rawhide, but not rpmfusion rawhide,
and you still have H.264 without compat-ffmpeg28 from rpmfusion rawhide, it
would be useful to compare notes, to figure out where you're getting H.264
from, in F28.
