Since yesterday I began getting "This video format is not supported" error (Arch based distribution), paired with a notification "To play video you may need to install the required video codecs" appearing under the address bar. Youtube videos would play fine, but videos streamed from google drive and gifs would not. This was odd considering I had latest ffmpeg installed (2:5.0-4). I reinstalled firedragon, then gave librewolf a try--same thing. I was about to install firefox but then noticed that with it came an "ffmpeg4.4" dependency.
tl,dr: Installing ffmpeg4.4 resolved the video playback issue for me. Hope it helps whoever else should run into it.
