   Well it's not complaining about missing/broken libraries like   
   libavcodec, so maybe that's working. Still I say again: Do video   
   files play in other programs using libavcodec (mplayer, ffplay)?

   In my experience Firefox complains a lot (I don't use Chrom*), so   
   it's not clear if those messages are relevent to your problem, but   
   you could try disabling graphics acceleration in the settings since   
   the warnings/errors are about that.
