Perhaps someone here can suggest something better than what I currently
have. A default Firefox on a default Fedora-32 template does not play

I've been scratching around and found that if I install the
qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld package then videos play on various video
streaming platforms, including Invidio.us.
The 'problem' with having qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld installed in a
fedora-32-media template (cloned from fedora-32), along with other bits
of software , is it creates dependency issues. This causes trouble with
the updater widget, it never goes away and it always displays updates
for the fedora-32-media template. If the template is fully updated the
widget will say it has outstanding updates. If you run through the
process you get the output I have attached in the four files. This
becomes endless. It is after having updated fedora-32-media several
times and noticing the output of the update widget staying exactly the
same that I ran 'sudo dnf upgrade' in a fedora-32-media terminal. Then
seeing the below output.
Instead of trying to fix this, which would likely mean I would have to
install qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld in a dedicated template, the scenario
I would like to avoid, is there perhaps a different package that I can
install that also enables playing videos on streaming websites?

if you want to avoid spending time troubleshooting this, easiest is just
to use Firefox, Chromium, etc in Debian 10 template rather than Fedora
32 template for browser video watching.
Thanks for the advice. Just before I typed this email I read the thread
explaining the security issue with the Fedora repositories, which made
me decide to switch the Firefox template to a Debian template and as you
say streaming video websites work as expected.
