clementine and strawberry both do not recognize .webm files

I've downloaded a youtube video with yt-dlp, and placed in a music library folder. it has the file extention .webm The file does not show up in the library, and also not in the Files. .mp4 files are seen by clementine, and play fine.

vlc and smplayer both play the .webm file just fine.

ffprobe shows the following information about the used codecs in the webm file:

How can I make clementine recognize .webm files?
Is there another music player that does work with .webm files?

Re: clementine and strawberry both do not recognize .webm files

I've also tried strawberry 1.0.18. (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry) it also doesn't see the .webm file.
On their website, they say it supports Ogg Opus audio. I guess it's not capable of extracting the audio from the matroska,webm container.

Re: clementine and strawberry both do not recognize .webm files

Clementine appears to be using gstreamer, check clementime  optional dependencies to verify which gst plugins you have installed.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: clementine and strawberry both do not recognize .webm files

If you actively open the file (in the file open selection dialog, make sure to adjust the filter so that it shows all files) in one of the two they'll likely play it, but seeing as those are music players they will likely be configured to not look for/show what's ultimately a video file.
