Installing codecs for Kaffeine

blackburnw · 10-31-2007, 04:19 PM

I have a version of Linux redhat 6 installed and I cannot play my mp3's. The error message is roughly 'no plugins for this type of file'. I am not to familiar with the commands since I havent been able to use them very much. My friend is a Linux user and he insisted that I install it after my windows was practically ruined with a virus. Anyways, all help is greatly appreciated, but dont assume that I know what to do. In other words, pretend that I am stupid.

http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_cor...ion_notes.html is good for Fedora 6 as well

Several of the post install configure sites have very good instructions on exactly how to install what you need to get your Fedora install up to speed! Just Google fedora 6 post install. One question, why Fedora 6? 8 is the current release.

I am not sure about whether this works for RedHat but in many distros I have just copied the mplayer binary codecs to /usr/lib/codecs and kaffeine , xine and all media players started working great. ymmv

I used to use Mandriva ('07) and I just went surfing for lots of the "restricted" rpms. I found the libdvd ones and then I used Amarok for mp3s, just had to search for a little to get the right ones.
