minus-squareBob Smith@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down1·1 year agoI ran into something like this the last time that I installed Fedora. They have (or used to have) a fairly hardcore stance about nonfree codecs, which includes anything licensed under MPEG LA. The codec in your screenshot probably doesn’t include support for H.265 playback - at the very least it isn’t in the list of formats. Here’s a guide that I googled for you: https://ostechnix.com/how-to-install-multimedia-codecs-in-fedora-linux/
