Specifically H.264 and MPEG-LA. (Although Cisco did provide a royalty-free H.264 decoder, if I am not mistaken...) https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/10/30/video-interoperability-on-the-web-gets-a-boost-from-ciscos-h-264-codec/ AV1 will set us all free! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOMedia_Video_1 Alliance for Open Media Video 1 > Increasingly videos from this or that source will not play in either SM > or FF. > > For instance, recent videos posted to Youtube increasingly will not play > in SM 2.46. Please provide an URL (or several) of such videos. I'm willing to bet that they work on most SM setups.
