From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why can't I play H.265 videos on Fedora 38 even though I have the codec installed (lemmy.ml)

Try this:

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf groupupdate core
sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video

You should also add the hardware accelerated codecs, by following the appropriate section depending on your hardware:

Make sure to reboot.

If this still does not work, install Celluloid and enjoy the superiority of mpv.

I was actually using Celluloid before but videos were not playing until I used the commands you gave. Gnome videos is now crashing but I don't care as much since Celluloid is now working

Can you run GNOME Videos in the command line and copy/paste the error output when it crashes?
