Can you enable HTML5 H264 on Firefox Arch Linux?
Installing the Arch package `gst-libav` solved it and that Youtube page now says that H264 is supported. Additionally you need ‘gst-plugins-good’ package to enable H.264 HTML5 playback on Firefox. I already had ‘gst-libav’ package installed but it didn’t help alone.
Why does Firefox not play H.264 video?
Chrome might natively play more videos, because for a long time, Firefox has not played H.264-encoded videos due to patent issues. I think there has been some movement on that, at least in the mobile space, but I haven’t looked into it recently. But back to Firefox.
What kind of video tag does Firefox use?
Firefox currently uses OpenH264 only for WebRTC and not for the video tag, because OpenH264 does not yet support the high profile format frequently used for streaming video. gstreamer1.0-libav is probably the only option to add support for the H264 HTML5 video tag in Firefox for Linux. With Firefox30 you have to install gstreamer 1.0.
Do you need a decoder for H.264?
To sum it up, playback of current mainstream content does not only require an H.264 decoder but also an AAC decoder and H.265 is already preparing to replace the older one. Also I don’t see the corresponding specification for MP4s with H.264 to be changed towards recommending a more open source friendly audio codec in the foreseeable future.
