Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2019-07-18 13:14:41 UTC

It is possible that the default FFMPEG libraries in openSUSE are limited, and you could ask in a forum of your distribution how to install the unrestricted version from the "Packman" repositories.

Comment 2 Rafael Linux User 2019-07-18 13:31:04 UTC

I forgot to write that I can play and encode WebM with the actual packman libraries I have installed. I can view restricted formats (like H264-265). WebM is not restricted, so it should be thumbnailer even without packman repo.
