Hello, I've been with this problem around for a month, I installed Fedora Linux in my desktop and some videos it doesn't reproduce them at all, I get the error "Occured an error. Try again later (ID: variable id)". I can reproduce the video in other devices like Android or Windows.

Example video: https://youtu.be/jPtSAE6gLjQ

Details: -Browser: Firefox 115.0 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Fedora

-Fedora 38 Linux 6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64 -Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Asus Dual Radeeon RX6750XT

I managed to remove and install the Firefox, with the "dnf install firefox", the video doesn't play and with the mozilla build doens't work too. When i installed with the flatpak/flathub, the video reproduced, that's why i don't understand this problem. Am I missing something?
