SUMMARY

It seems that Elisa cannot play some formats, including:
-webm

Video:
-mp4
-flv

MP4 support is tracked with 457701. But I'm afraid FLV support isn't planned; the effort-to-reward ratio is not high now that Flash has been dead for year and years.

I don't see a bug report for webm (but that might be because your search system here is quite bad tbh), also I think it would be useful to simply collect all format requests in one report.

I'm afraid it would not. Please file additional bug reports for additional format support requests.

Ok, understood.
