It seems it does not work:

Nobody don't want an old and unsecure version of chromium only to can
play normal MP4 videos.
I followed Ed's advice and installed chromium-libs-media-freeworld and
chromium-vaapi from RPMFusion. In downgraded the fedora chromium to 77,
but installed chromium-freeworld-78.
Name : chromium-freeworld
Version : 78.0.3904.108
Release : 1.fc31
Architecture: x86_64
And when I run chromium-freeworld, instead of chromium, I am able to
play videos.
There are only 39 commits between 77 and 78, and 77 was built only 2
months ago, so it isn't like it is ancient. I didn't check security
updates, so there might be some critical update, but likely not.
