meta/x-gst-fourcc-mebx-decoder is required to play the file, but is not installed.
I am getting an error message when opening a certain video "Unable to play the file. meta/x-gst-fourcc-mebx-decoder is required to play the file, but is not installed." After dismissing the pop-up and waiting about 30 seconds, the video then plays normally.
I have the codecs installed for mpeg files:
gstreamer1-plugin-libav.x86_64 1.22.12-1.fc40 @updates
