Hi everyone!

I am unable to play many web videos, and I believe those are HTML5 video elements, since youtube is using the flash player to play live streaming.

Here is an example of a video I can't play https://www.instagram.com/p/BQDvvpAgyzc/

This has been broken for me every since Beta 43 came out and it hasn't been fixed yet.

I DO have the ffmpeg package installed, as well as the chromium-ffmpeg-extra package.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
