TIL that Chromium doesn't support H264-encoded videos, which would seem to be why I'm getting audio only for many of your vids.

Firefox has issues woth mkv's as well. 😑
This is an MP4, actually, but maybe the extension isn't material?
👀
If you find a fix, do let me know.
Thorium might work.. ..do you have a link to a vid you're having issues with ?
Nice one. It will play nostr:nprofile1q9n8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99ah8qatzxy6nx7rdv4urgvncx33kserxxu6nw6rsxdcnv7ncv9nhj6mtv44nwuryvamh2amyxqmngwfkx3jxk7tgvyuhxwpjwfuh2wplvfex7ctyvdshxapaw3e82egpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6er9wch8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uqzpfzdhjd25dt3w6nafawrzp5yd6sfddnduz6sacu6la2t42mvf06ts86un7 's video, whereas Chromium will not.

..it's in the AUR
i used this this test with Brave, Thorium and LibreWolf.. ..Brave and Thorium passed, LibreWolf failed..
The only trick is that Thorium UI is rendering at 2x. It doesn't seem to follow global env variables for GDK_SCALE or Wayland scaling. Assume you're running on X11?
example i3 keybinding to fix this: (adding GDK_SCALE=1)
bindsym $mod+b exec --no-startup-id GDK_SCALE=1 thorium-browser
example .desktop file to fix this: (adding GDK_SCALE=1)
