In the article, we aimed to provide a comprehensive guide that covers different methods, including both manual installation of codecs and the use of the “ubuntu-restricted-extras” package.

However, your suggestion to consider ffmpeg-based players as an alternative solution is valuable and can provide users with a streamlined approach. We appreciate your input!

You’re absolutely right. VLC and MPV are excellent media players that come bundled with a wide range of codecs, ensuring smooth playback of various audio and video formats.
