GNOME runtime lost H.264 support again
The GNOME runtime has lost H.264 support again.
I'm not familiar with exactly what changes to the codecs extensions have happened lately, but something went wrong somewhere. This was working fine a couple weeks ago.
I have installed:

If that ffmpeg-html5 extension is expected to be sufficient, then it's somehow broken, and if it's not, maybe another new extension is missing?
If the goal was to provide this via the new OpenH264 extension, it's not even installed.
