Hi,

I've got two systems running jessie.

Somehow iceweasel on one system has got the cisco OpenH264 decoder installed, but the other one doesn't.

I can't seem to track down how I've managed to install it.

Anybody know how I can get it enabled for iceweasel in Jessie ?

Thank you,

Brian

Recent versions of Iceweasel should have the OpenH264 decoder plugin available
in the plugin menu. Try purging it and re-installing it. Don't forget to get
rid of your local configs too. What versions of Iceweasel are you running?

I run stretch, and the decoder appeared in my plugins menu after I installed. I
believe both Stretch and Jessie have the same version of Iceweasel (38,
notwithstanding trivial version numbers).

Thank you.

What? You hardly need 'an online webinar' to find a plugin. I am more than a
bit confused.

Just curious, what is it needed for? GStreamer seems to do the job fine
here.
