Hello. For a couple of months now I can't seem to be able to reproduce some videos on YouTube (depends on their format) and no videos at all on Facebook, for example. I have the same issue on both regular and dev versions. I tried many solutions from the forums but no success so far.

My OS is Linux Ubuntu 20.04. Browser and video drivers all up to date.

After checking the formats of the videos that were not playing using the network tab on dev tools, turned out some codecs were broken from my installation.

FYI: the culprit PPA was "savoury1/ffmpeg5". Deleting it and reinstalling the ffmpeg package solved the problem.

Good job. Mark it as resolved so that it's off our plate.  ;-)
