So i did the profile cleaner which also launches librewolf and tried to play that video feed and it sits and spins.
then i ran safemode and tried to watch the videos again from village sda and got the sit and spin as before.
terminal outpu is as follows:
librewolf --safe-mode

clearly a decoder is missing. is this supposed to be built into the browser or installed on the system? i'm believing it's os that needs the decoder installed but which decoder o i install? there's a missing mp4a driver it seeems to me but what to do about that?
given that librewolf plays these videos on another arch based linux distro and on windows i assume i need to install something on artix. whatever that is i dunno.
