SOLVEDNot having the correct video codecs to play some kind of videos.

I'm using Firefox 97 (librewolf, to be more precise) and I can watch videos on Youtube but not livestreams as well as videos on Reddit are not supported. I tried installing the following packages: x264, x265 and ffmpeg, but they don't solve the problem. What are the correct video codecs that I need to install?

you probably need ffmpeg4.4 for the older compat libs, ffmpeg 5 was recently released and not all apps have relevantly updated yet.
