Using OpenJFX 11 I am using a mediaplayer to play some clips on a Linux system. Some of them display, others don't. As far as I can tell the only difference in the encoding is, that the not playing video contains an audio track.
This is the output of mediainfo for the video that plays:

There is no error message logged or displayed.
If I remember correctly this has worked before, when using JavaFX in version 8. Since then I also upgraded the OS, so it could be some missing codecs as well.
- How would I have to encode a video with sound, so that it is played using JavaFX
MediaPlayer? - If on certain OS it is required to supply additional codecs, as hinted by this old article, how to do that with a
Mavenproject? I do not want the user to require to install additional libraries by hand, so that my application works.
[EDIT:]
On the chance that it has anything to do with libavcodec here is the list returned by sudo find / -name 'libavcodec*':
