BW-userx · 02-13-2019, 08:58 AM

I've done these already, just trying to get the basics installed,

https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/instal...os-redhat-7-x/

https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFS

mpv, handbrake, blender, and what ever else comes across my mind as I set this up, along with codecs for mp3 and mp4 mkv etc... H256 ( I think it is, mp4s) Dragonplayer no shows video just that weird display it does.

I did get ntfs to work

wooo Hoo!!!

I have done this and it works fine - here is CentOS's wiki on this: https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTrick...mediaOnCentOS7

And a link to their descriptions of 3rd party repos: https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalRe...ght=%28epel%29

Multimedia does not work without 3rd party repo support, so if you are OK with that, you can get it working.

there is one discrepancy in it that one needs to know how to navigate directories from another sight using a web browser to find the directory needed.

because this one as changed its directory structure and file name...

https: // dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7Server/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-9.noarch.rpm

this is the page that I am working off of that so far looks to be working, as I have yet to try installing anything off the repos just adding them to the db.

thanks I did find this one

https://cromwell-intl.com/open-sourc...ultimedia.html

I must have been posting when you were...

i found How to setup multimedia on CentOS 7 that one half worked..

I'd have to say this one is much better

https://cromwell-intl.com/open-sourc...ultimedia.html

others read post #3
to know which repo needs to be changed to

Code:

rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7Server/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-7-11.noarch.rpm
