[SOLVED] Waterfox can't play html5 video

Waterfox can't play html5 video anymore. It happened after the last update as it worked before.

Do I need a plugin of any kind?

What was updated? Versions? Errors? Journal entries?

Waterfox 56.1
https://www.youtube.com/html5 says that MSE & H.264 are not working.

extra/x264 is installed
Any idea how to know what is wrong?

Twitch says 'Renderer is not available'
Youtube says 'Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.'

What waterfox from where are you using? The current -bin package is at 56.2 since quite a while. As already mentioned, do you get anything in the terminal or the jourmal?

If you are using waterfox-git make sure to rebuild it with the latest commits, those have received ffmpeg 4.0 support.

I tried this less than a month ago at 56.2.0 and now it is at 56.2.1, what do you mean quite a while?
