Can you check if it’s installed?

rpm -qa | grep pipewire

Start the template used by this qube and run the following command:

sudo dnf install pipewire-pulseaudio

Turn off both the template and the qube, and then try to play a video again.

    (try to add ‘–allowerasing’ to command line to replace conflicting packages or ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages)
    [user@fedora-40 ~]$

Should i still shut all down and re-start as prior instructed please?

Try this command in the template instead then:

sudo dnf swap -y --allowerasing pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio

I wonder why this was required, good catch

You are welcome.

No idea, it’s probably an upgraded 4.1 template? The template name seems to be fedora-40 instead of fedora-40-xfce, so it probably didn’t do the switch properly.
