mp3 and video support in fedora

abiko · #1 9th February 2009, 11:54 PM

Hi!
I've installed Fedora 11 alpha, and everything looks nice and stable

so far

Can anybody help me with mp3 support? can F10 codecs be used in F11?
Thank you!

Just a note, the alpha isn't suitable for the average desktop machine - it's a (very early) preview of what F11 will look like. If you're looking for something a bit more stable, I recommend you install Fedora 10 for now.

Anyways, first step is installing RPM Fusion for rawhide/testing releases:

Code:

rpm -Uhv http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm

Next, you'll need to install a few gstreamer plugin packages which include the codecs you need:

Code:

yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly

I know that, I have fc10 on my main machine, this is a machine just for web browsing and it seemed like a nice opportunity to try out fc11 and help in the process.

You were right, this still needs some tweaking

Dependency failed xD
Just a note for others

Ah, yeah we had a thread on the mailing list about that a week-ish ago... Not sure what's going on there. Are you familiar with how to rebuild RPMs?

I was finding the same dependency issues with a number of multimedia apps I tried installing. As of this morning it appears this issue has been fixed.At least for the apps I was having difficulty with, it is. After all the latest updates I can install items such as gnome-mplayer, the gecko-media plugin, etc, now.
