        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)

                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.
