Try this:
sudo dnf update sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm sudo dnf groupupdate core sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
You should also add the hardware accelerated codecs, by following the appropriate section depending on your hardware:

If this still does not work, install Celluloid and enjoy the superiority of
mpv
.I was actually using Celluloid before but videos were not playing until I used the commands you gave. Gnome videos is now crashing but I don’t care as much since Celluloid is now working

Can you run GNOME Videos in the command line and copy/paste the error output when it crashes?

Didn’t some distro remove hardware transcoding support for some non-free codecs for AMD hardware? I remember being really pissed at Manjaro for that a while ago when I noticed Plex was devouring my CPU. Maybe something related to that if you got AMD and hardware acceleration is forced?

I ran into something like this the last time that I installed Fedora. They have (or used to have) a fairly hardcore stance about nonfree codecs, which includes anything licensed under MPEG LA.
The codec in your screenshot probably doesn’t include support for H.265 playback - at the very least it isn’t in the list of formats. Here’s a guide that I googled for you: https://ostechnix.com/how-to-install-multimedia-codecs-in-fedora-linux/
i’ve actually already followed that exact guide and it still is not working

Well, dang! I’m sorry to read that. Codecs are definitely a tricky issue for Fedora.

Sorry this is off-topic, but what is that GTK theme? It looks really nice

The Fedora documentation has the answer: Installing plugins for playing movies and music
Fedora (combined with RHEL) has great documentation, take an hour, read the docs and you’ll have a great experience.

I had this problem, but after not being able to resolve it I tried Bazzite and found the gaming experience was much better there anyway, so switched. This problem doesn’t exist on that distro.

I just installed fedora a couple of days ago and this happens to me too…
I guess I’ll try a different distro 🤷♂️ it was being a nice experience until I tried to play a video
- Silejonu ( @Silejonu@kbin.social ) 5•8 months ago
See my comment for the solution.

Just install VLC dude

I mean yes, it’s a way to solve playing offline videos, but it doesn’t seem to stop there. I found that codecs for playing videos on Firefox are also missing
I could install Chrome as well or hack my way, but it makes me want to recommend the distro to beginners even less

just use vlc
