Using Quarto Part 3
In an earlier post, I alluded to the fact a video embedded in a early post was not rendering on my local machine. I am converting to Quarto (Allaire et al. 2022) to render the website/blog, when I found an old experimental post with the video. However, the error message indicated the format was not playable.
After some research, I found there was a codex missing on my computer. I had just upgraded to the next version of Fedora (39), but didn’t realize that codex was missing, as videos on YouTube played just fine.
The missing file, “mozilla-openh264”, fixed the issue and allowed the local video files to play normally.
Another issue still exists, the apparent inability of Quarto to recognize any R(R Core Team 2023) installation. This may be the issue that prevented a particular PDF file from rendering, which rendered without error in R. In this instance, it required manual installation of a “texlive-tcolorbox” file.
As time passes, more issues may appear, but for now, this is the short list.
Have a great day, and God Bless!
