      Why won't browsers on ubuntu touch 20.04 play videos from vimeo?

      When I try to play the video I hear the sound, but the video is simply a black box.

        @dln949 what device? It sometimes depends on the codecs present.

          @dln949 Weird, I kind of remember trying it out and found that it worked after the hardware accelerated media playback on webviews was implemented. I tried on my FP4 and they won't even play.

            If I remember right, it's a know bug for 20.04 OTA-1 devices that video playback isn't working correct (even for youtube)

            Vollaphone (UT 24.04)

              Im using the FP4 with 20.04 devel and yewtu.be doesnt work, which leads me to beleive that codex are still a problem on current ubuntu touch 20.04 images.
