Hm... usually I would've replied "the gstreamer ones, -ugly, -base, -good"
but I don't have them installed. I am not using icecat and for my aurora esr
package I think videos just work.

I'm running an update here so I can't install anything right now, but in
the past the gst plugins would've been my definite reply if something was
missing.

Sorry for assuming I had this. I have over 270 profile generations, nothing
showed up indicating that this time I have this.
