DetailsDescription:
Cannot play back any h.264 encoded video content in Firefox (tested on version 42). Running KDE Plasma 5.5 on a system with an R9-280 on the open source AMD drivers. Works fine with gstreamer-vaapi 0.6.1. Additional info: * gstreamer-vaapi 0.7.0-1 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: sudo pacman -S firefox gstreamer-vaapi firefox Install greasemonkey extension and Viewtube script (http://isebaro.com/viewtube/?ln=en), go to Youtube, force it to use mp4 Does not play video |

Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: Firefox 43 now uses FFmpeg for H264 decoding and GStreamer is only used for MP3 playback.
