closedAssistance Required: Changing Video Format from OGV to WEBM in openqa
Description
Greetings of the day,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Anushka Gulati, and I am currently working as a Test Automation Engineer at B&R Automation. I am using openQA for testing, and I am also aware that openSUSE also uses openqa for software testing. I have encountered a persistent issue when trying to access videos via the WebUI.
Currently, my video files are being saved in the OGV format, and it seems that this format is no longer supported by the latest browsers. Interestingly, some of my colleagues are receiving their videos in the WEBM format, and they do not experience the same issue.
I was hoping you could provide guidance on how to resolve this. Is there a way to configure the system to save video files in the WEBM format instead of OGV? Any insights or suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards,
Anushka Gulati

you need to have ffmpeg (compiled with vpx support) installed on the worker.
If you have a recent openQA and os-autoinst version, it should automatically generate webm,
if ffmpeg is installed.
Otherwise you need to set EXTERNAL_VIDEO_ENCODER_* vars on the worker.ini
(see https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/doc/backend_vars.asciidoc)Regards,
