Some Videos not working with Fedora Flatpak version (feddit.de)

I installed Firefox Flatpak on F38 and some video content is not working. Youtube and Netflix work fine, Prime Video does not. Videos on some website do not play, some give simple error messages wihtout details: NFL.com, tagesschau.de, ran.de and more do also not work.

So, something is wrong but i can not figure out what it is. Maybe it is connected to this issue . Can not figure out if it's in use or not, i guess it's not.

I did some websearch but couldn't find a solution. Does anyone of you know how to fix it?

Have you installed the org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full runtime?

You may also need to enable the playback of DRM protected content in the Firefox options.

DRM is enabled, otherwise Netflix wouldn't work, what it does. And that is the weird thing, some videoplatforms work, some do not.

org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full is installed.
