yogesh_attarde · 05-30-2014, 02:16 AM

Hi All,

I am running RHEL6.2, when I try to open any video file I am getting below attached error (Movie player requires additional plugin (Microsoft MPEG 4.4.3 Decoder). When I open movie player from terminal it gives below messages on terminal.

Quote:

** Message: Error: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

Could you please let me know where I can get Microsoft MPEG decoder?

what repos are installed and turned on ?
to see run

Code:

su -
yum repolist all

the multimedia is in the rpmforge repo or the epel

Warning:
BUT BE VERY!!!!! CAREFUL !!!
those repos can be incompatible with RHN !!!!!
so install and CONFIGURE!!! yum-priorites plugin!!!!!!

as to VLC
for the older 6.2 there is the old vlc1 in the repos
now there is a different repo for VLC2

i would install Mplayer and use the "all-20110131.tar.bz2" codec package from the mplayer site

Thanks all for the replies.

For some reason I don't want to install vlc player.

I installed mplayer and is working fine, but for some testing I wanted to have default movie player.

But still movie player is not working...

then enable rpmforge
but be VERY VERY careful with that repo
the redhat install instructions are the same as for CentOS 6.5

repos
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

and gstreamer
-- cent is using the REDHAT docs for 6
the cent/rhel5 guide
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks...28gstreamer%29

BUT

you can port the guide for fedora to be used on RHEL
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f19.html
but you have to PORT the instructions to rhel6
replace rpmfusion with rpmforge for one

media players
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...l#mediaplayers
and codecs ( you did )
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...l#binarycodecs
dvd support
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...html#libdvdcss

also see the redhat knowledgebase
https://access.redhat.com/site/knowledgebase/
the FULL instructions are in there

Thanks John,

Installing rpm forge from

Code:

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge

and running

Code:

#yum install gstreamer*

does the trick for me.
