I can't play audio/video in fedora
i am a newbie in Linux. i have installed fedora 10.. whenever i try to play audio/video files in totem, it says additional plugins are required..
MPEGAV-1 MPEGAV-2 is missing.. how do i install the codecs? SElinux is blocking something.. Please help |
Hi,
Try to install codecs by yum command. Thanks, Mahi_nix |
You can disable SELinux or put it in permissive mode.

Open a terminal and as root give "rpm -Uhv http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ide.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm" without quotes
If you want mp3 in temrinal give as root "yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly" and to play mp3 in amarok if you have kde or amarok give this "yum install libtunepimp-extras-nonfree yum install xine-lib-extras-nonfree" without quotes!! |
.. And for video : 1) libdvdread
2) libdvdcss : ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/atrpms.ne....fc13.i686.rpm .. |
Why fedora 10 and not 13 the current release?
Take a look at http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f13.html |
@gdem
i dont hev connection with fedora at home.. so i downloaded the .rpm's and copied it in my home dir.. and then executed the command like this rpm -Uhv /home/myself/<the rpm file> /home/myself/<the nonfree rpm file> and then it says sysem release >=14 is needed.. wot sud i do? @all thanks for the help anyways.. i think there's no codec available for fedora 10.. the last option would be installing 13.. |
If you do not have the net connection, you will need to download all the dependencies and install them one by one. And every package can have their own respective dependencies. It could have a chain of dependencies as well. That is why yum makes it easy.

I'm not sure you'll have access to the required packages because you using Fedora 10, which is no longer supported. Is there a reason you're using such an old version? If not, I'd install Fedora 13 and then refer to this to set up the rpmfusion repos. Then you should be able to install the necessary packages.

You should definately use a newer version of Fedora, Fedora has reached end of life and is no longer supported. Try 12 or 13 instead.
Lots of Fedora users remove PulseAudio as well, as this presents problems in every Fedora release where it is present, and adds very little. Try Code:
su -c "yum erase pulseaudio" Disable SELinux temporarily with Code:
setenforce 0 |
Thanks all..
From your supports, I somehow managed to play audio and video in fedora 10.. Well this is what i did.. configured made and installed realplayer for mp3 from the official website configured made and installed Mplayer and some other codecs i don't know which one sorted it out.. :D.. |
