Description
Media playback does not work on Ubuntu 24.10. This affects most media formats such as MP4 with H.264/H.265, MP3, AAC, and HTTP Live Streaming. This is because JavaFX Media does not support libavcodec version 61. Support for libavcodec version 61 was added with JDK-8338701. As a workaround, install libavcodec version 60 compiled with support for at least the following: 

- decoder: aac, mp3, mp3float, h264, hevc
- parser: aac, h264, hevc
- demuxer: aac, h264, hevc, mpegts, mpegtsraw
