I believe all Flatpaks incorporate the codecs already.
Flathub even has hardware decoding with the drivers they distribute. However, Flatpak applications need to specifically opt in to ffmpeg-full rather than the normal ffmpeg package, which has support for patent-encumbered codecs.
Fedora Flatpaks, on the other hand, have no such codec support.
Fedora is a top-tier project and I completely understand why they weren’t comfortable risking patent law unnecessarily.
I have to admit one of the first things I do when setting up a Fedora atomic distro is disable the Fedora flatpak repo and replace all existing apps with Flathub equivalents. Still, good info to keep in mind!
