no compatible source was found for this media

Question

I get this message,

no compatible source was found for this media

when i try to watch anything on crunchyroll.

I cannot get any videos on reddit or Netflix either but YouTube is working fine. I am using Firefox 64.0 and the sources work in chromium.

Videos were working earlier.

Edit: Solved it by installing GStreamer Multimedia Codecs

Solution 1

1. Option 1:

   Try sudo apt install libavcodec-extra

   According to this answer: Firefox html5 video support

   Restart Firefox when you are done.

2. Option 2:

   Installing GStreamer Multimedia Codecs

Solution 2

The media codecs for ubuntu are not installed by default. Install the media codecs by

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Option 1 worked for me. So haven't tried option 2.
