Though on the other hand, at least H.264 is mostly supported by the Fedora FFmpeg if OpenH264 is available for dlopening (though I have not tested whether that feature actually works in Chromium/QtWebEngine, it works only if the application does not hardcode the FFmpeg codec name), so the list might not be all that wrong even in Fedora. That said, Chromium also uses a bundled OpenH264 to encode H.264 for WebRTC. If that is not patched to support dlopening, then we still need a qt6- qtwebengine-freeworld built with the bundled OpenH264 enabled. We are not allowed to ship OpenH264 directly in Fedora, only through that Cisco arrangement.

It will pick up the FFmpeg library, yes, but will it actually report the proper list of supported codecs to the websites? I doubt it. The list has always been hardcoded at compile time (picked from one of two manually hardcoded lists depending on the "use_proprietary_codecs" compilation option) in Chromium.
