Hi Just upgraded from F35 to F36. What plugin do I have to add in order to play this codec?

Do you have a sample link on the web of this codec? The reason I ask is I would like to see if it plays here. Do you have the fedora h264 repository installed and active? I just got an update on it today, so maybe the means to play it is available with that update. It is called fedora-cisco-openh264.repo
You could try ffplay, part of the ffmpeg program. It is actively developed, and seems to get the latest codecs very quickly. I think it is the underlying basis for many of the other video players on fedora.
Hi. I could play it with mpv. It is working. This is my list of enabled repositories # dnf repolist --enabled repo id repo name adobe-linux-x86_64 Adobe Systems Incorporated brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com_x86_64_ created by dnf config-manager from https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/x86_64/ copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:kwizart:fedy Copr repo for fedy owned by kwizart fedora Fedora 36 - x86_64 fedora-cisco-openh264 Fedora 36 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 fedora-modular Fedora Modular 36 - x86_64 google-chrome google-chrome rpmfusion-free RPM Fusion for Fedora 36 - Free rpmfusion-free-tainted RPM Fusion for Fedora 36 - Free tainted rpmfusion-free-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 36 - Free - Updates rpmfusion-nonfree RPM Fusion for Fedora 36 - Nonfree rpmfusion-nonfree-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 36 - Nonfree - Updates updates Fedora 36 - x86_64 - Updates updates-modular Fedora Modular 36 - x86_64 - Updates
I reinstalled vlc and nothing, it gave me the same problem. It plays the audio but not the video and it pop ups the message
Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))

And why did you think that reinstalling vlc would change anything? And, did you use dnf reinstall, or did you remove the program and do a clean install? There's a big difference, you know.
I thought maybe something got mixed up with the upgrade from F35 to F36. I did first a "dnf remove vlc" and after, did a "dnf install vlc".
I still get the same problem.

You may want to check which ffmpeg is installed. ffmpeg.x86_64 5.0.1-3.fc36 @rpmfusion-free or ffmpeg-free.x86_64 5.0.1-11.fc36 updates

Since he has vlc installed, he must have rpmfusion enabled. I think the h264 libraries from there are better than the cisco one. (Unless it's changed, the cisco ones were limited in some way.) But I appear to have all the h264 libraries from the various repos and vlc has no problem with h264 videos.
But a sample link would be good if that's possible.

vlc should have dependencies for all the libraries it needs. But let's see what you have.
rpm -q vlc rpm -qa | grep 264 rpm -qa | grep libav

I'm still with F35 and vlc has no trouble with this codec, the standard for DVB-T2 broadcasting here.
rpm -qa | grep -i vlc shows vlc and vlc-core, both at 3.0.17.2-1
IIRC vlc doesn't use external codecs. I don't think ffmpeg is required.

Did you try shutting off hardware decoding. i vaguely remember some issue I had with h264 and the settings were very finicky recently.

That's very strange. Is it a specific file or any .mp4 file? Can you run "ffprobe" on the file?

I have no idea why yours isn't working. Everything looks normal. Try creating a new user and see if it works there.
