Hi,

New to Bodhi, coming from Lubuntu 18.04. Wondering if one needs to do something to be able to view youtube videos on the bundled ephinany (Webkit) browser ? It barfs out the following when I try to click on a video:

Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.
Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.

In fact, I realized that I cannot play videos on vimeo.com, facebook.com etc. either !

cheers,
B

Have you tried installing the codecs? In a terminal try sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libav ffmpeg

That was indeed the missing piece. Are there such immediate few steps of FAQ for people new to Bodhi that enlist what else I might be missing ?

You're welcome. Glad it's sorted.

Bodhi comes with the bare minimum you need to get started, as is our minimalist philosophy. We do have an Ebook written and published by our Team Member JollyRoger, which should have pretty much everything new and intermediate users need, we encourage members to check that out but to also feel free to ask on the forums if they need help.
