Then try the site https://www.tagesschau.de/multimedia/sendung/ts-40109.html .

Actual results:

The video playback is very slow and stuttering. Installing the package org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full solves this issue and results in a fluent video playback.

Expected results:

The video playback is fluent by default.
