This is what seems to have helped for me on Fedora:

  1. Install free and non-free RPM Fusion repositories: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

  2. Then run the following:

    sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
    sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
    sudo dnf install mozilla-openh264
    rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin
    
    

I was having trouble with many h265 videos until I cleared my gstreamer cache (I only needed to clear the 64-bit cache, this thread suggests clearing both 32 and 64-bit):
