Some Youtube videos say "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. "

and Amazon Prime "Video Unavailable" is also fixed by this.

I fixed this by installing FFMPEG which installs libavcodec.so.58

DRM Playback is enabled under preferences.

Patent and copyright restrictions are among reasons why many Linux distros do not come with packages such as FFmpeg in a new install as it provides codecs needed to fully support HTML5 players.
