I was able to get h.264 support on www.youtube.com/html5 on fedora 21 by installing
gstreamer1-libav
but that package does not exist in C6 (or it's popular third party repos)
What is the name of the package which adds h.264 to firefox on youtube/html5 in C6?
I think you'll find that package in the nux repo:
gstreamer1-libav.x86_64 1.0.6-1.el7.nux
I don't know if that will do what you're after, and I can't try this out as my desktop machines are all C7.
More detail on that repository can be found at:
I had already looked at the nux repo. They may have that package for C7 but I can't see it for C6.
I'm thinking h.264 gstreamer support must be provided by another package in C6.
I have gstreamer-plugins-base & good installed. And I've already tried ugly and gstreamer-ffmpeg.
Sorry, I didn't have that repository set up for C6 and when trying to do a quick switch I didn't actually manage to switch it from C7 to C6. I agree, I don't see it there for C6, even in their -testing.
Looking at rpmfind it appears to be available from RpmFusion back to fedora-18. That may not be old enough (forget what the fc "base" is for C6), but you may be able to find older fc versions with a little looking.

does anyone running C6 have h.264 check box on www.youtube.com/html5 ?
if yes, can you please post the output of
rpm -qa | grep -i 'gst|libva'

Yes I do in seamonkey, the browser I use. Strangely the box is not checked in firefox although FF and SM are very similar, but I never use FF on this system so maybe it's just not configured correctly.

These days I grab the Linux/x86_64 tar.bz2 from seamonkey-project.org , tar xfvj, and symlink /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ in the resulting subdir. But I see there's now an ESR version in EPEL.

My understanding, which may be incorrect, was that the firefox in EL6 wasn't built with gstreamer support, so adding that library isn't sufficient.

"You always need native OS support to be able to play media files with the HTML5 media player" https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1068031#answer-743907
I found this because I was looking for a (legal in the US) way to look at h264 streams from local net video encoders on EL6, without having to resort to expensive decoder software which I can't get anytime soon. Initially I thought that I might get Firefox to do it for me with the openh264 plugin, but then I found the above link. I am currently looking at how possible/painful it is to get the gstreamer openh264 plugin [1] built on EL6 (to go with the existing 0.10 gstreamer), such that I can use openh264 [2][3], which if I understand it would allow me to have a legal and working viewer (sans sound, which I don't need anyway). It would be nice (from a functional point of view) if Red Hat could get us an audio codec for h264 licensed in a similar way.
If anyone has clues on how to build and add just a portion of gst-plugins-bad into the existing EL OS set of gstreamer plugins, please share (even URL pointers).

All we did was rebuild the CentOS 6 packages tweaking the SPEC so that it was configured with:
--enable-gstreamer=0.10
h264 then worked once you'd got the appropriate gstreamer plugins installed.
Also google-chrome on EL6 does h264.

Thanks for that tip about building it with that tweak. I will try it. BTW how are you running google-chrome on EL6?

Tip: the top result ends up pointing to: http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ which was the 3rd result last time I looked.
I used Mr Lloyd's script way back in summer of 2013 and have simply upgraded Chrome, using yum, since.

Note the nux-dextop has chrome-deps-stable, which is the only package you need to be able to use the upstream chrome rpms.

I retrieved CentOS 6.7's firefox-38.2.1-1.el6.x86_64 srpm and rebuilt it with the --enable-gstreamer=0.10 changes in .spec file, rebuilt on my CentOS 6.5 system, and it works like a charm (htm5test.org and youtube detect the h264 support etc.).

I believe the EL6 build of firefox sets media.gstreamer.enabled to 'false' (see about:config)
Try setting that to 'true'
Although that appears to stop the libtotem plugins from working ?

This makes sense as I remember reading the latest versions of Firefox supporting gstreamer1 not 0.10. That's probably why gstreamer1-libav works with Firefox 40.
