I'm on Fedora 24. I had things working at some point. But now things are all wonky.
I'm using standard Fedora repos, RPMFusion, and Negativo17. The last two are supposed to play well together although potentially there may be some issues related to the way Negativo packages Nvidia. With VLC it's currently complaining it can't play x264 videos (MPEG-4 part 10 it calls it). When I run it in the commandline it complains about not being able to access some .so's. One of them is involved in CUDA. So when I follow Negativo's CUDA instructions, I get:
Code:
$ sudo dnf install cuda nvidia-driver-cuda
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'tech-3', disabling.

Note: I'd originally installed nvidia via RPMFusion, but at some point it stopped working correctly and since Fedora is now recommending Negativo (it's the version installed via software center in Gnome), I went with that (via a dnf upgrade that took Negativo's Nvidia since it was newer) and it started working again.
So I tried Dragon Player to play. It just plays the audio, not the video. Right now I have KDE set to use the gstreamer backend because the VLC backend was causing issues with Amarok.
I have some DVDs I've ripped via MakeMKV and Dragon Player plays those just fine. VLC complains about not having a52 audio codec and plays silent videos.

Also, Kdenlive (video editor) is having issues with mp4s - I'm not sure what backend they use.
I would appreciate any suggestions in fixing this unruly mess.
Thanks!
