  2. #Nextcloud #VideoPlayback #Firefox #AskingForAdvice

    When playing videos hosted on my Nextcloud from the web GUI, videos stall and buffer like crazy in Firefox, but play smoothly in Chromium.

    I have been having this playback issue for years and had learned to live with it. I only use Firefox Linux and had never tried with a Blink-based browser before, I have to say I am shocked.

    I thought it was because the server (Hetzner VPS) and backend storage (Wasabi S3) are both in Germany and I am in Canada, but Chromium is proving me wrong.

    Is there anything I can do to have smooth Nextcloud video playback in Firefox? Some magic Nginx setting? A video decoding library to install? An obscure Firefox flag?
