Hi,
I have problem with MPEG-4 videos.
Using test page
http://demo.nimius.net/video_test/
MPEG-4 says "no video was found in a supported format"
ffmpeg 2:4.4-4
x264 3:0.161.r3039.544c61f-1
firefox 92.0-2
media.ffmpeg.enabled = true
media.gstreamer.enabled = true
I tried
- firefox --safe-mode
and
- firefox --ProfileManager
but still the same.
When I downloaded the video file to my disk, it plays flawless.
What am I missing?

Doesn't work properly on chromium either. And this simply looks like the old xvid codec and I don't find any references that this would be supported in browsers/HTML5.
Outside of this test page, do you have any real word issue by the lack of this? I doubt it.
Note that mpeg-4 != mpeg-4 (or rather mpeg-4 isn't a codec but a standard describing how a conforming codec should behave and/or a container format that binds different video/audio/subtitle streams together, every single video on a page is a "MPEG-4" container) and the codec in question is an older implementation of the standard. You mostly see the newer H264 or newer in the real world. Both are mpeg-4 (part 2 and part 10 respectively)

Thanks for the answer.
Actually test page was run by me, to be 100% sure.
I have MPEG-4 video to watch because of my work.
My second desktop with Ubuntu and same Firefox version on the board does not have an issue with these videos.

This isn't "mpeg4", it's xvid (the super-dated MPEG-4 ASP codec) in an avi container - which is typically not supported by html5 implementations.
Since your "test" page is actually jquery <lotsofswearinghere> did you check that the generated result is actually the same across browsers and doesn't utilize other html tags on the ubuntu system?
