My issue:
Youtube videos buffer before loading
Youtube videos buffer after pausing
Udemy videos buffer indefinitely
Twitch streams lags and buffers

What i tried:
Checked internet speed and installed wifi driver
Fresh install of fedora
Resetting Firefox settings to default
Using different browser (Brave)

I like privacy so i would rather not enable stuff that will compromise my privacy but i will if i HAVE to, to get this working since this is main OS.

Please help, i am pretty new to linux but i know the basic commands and have messed around with other Linux distros a little. I love fedora, its my favorite so i hope i can get this fixed.

Thanks for the tip! I just installed it and it did help with the buffering after pausing the youtube video and the lagging in twitch streams but i still get a 7 second buffer before the youtube video starts and the udemy courses still don't load. Ffmpeg does seem to have sped up the buffer time though since now it is only 7 seconds it used to be 10-20.

Also on chromium the udemy video actually tells me i am missing a plugin. I read you don't need flash to watch udemy so i have no clue what plugin that could be.

Fixed:
Buffer after pausing youtube video
Twitch lag and buffer

Still needs fixing:
Youtube buffer before videos start
Udemy videos don't load
