HTML5 in firefox – fedora 29

Trying the version 29 of Fedora linux distribution I had issues to run HTML5 content in Firefox.

Some librairies are not installed by default because of license issues.

The solution is to install RPMFusion repositories: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration:

sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

and then to install the required librairies:

sudo dnf install -y ffmpeg-libs

After restarting Firefox you should be able to watch HTML5 content.
