There doesn't appear to be anything on how to add proprietary codecs to Totem. Totem's help says that there is a button to add proprietary codecs (which I know Fedora doesn't ship with) in the Preferences, but it's not there. I have the codecs installed in /usr/lib/win32 so that xine and mplayer both work, but totem doesn't see them.

You have remove the totem that comes with fedora and re-install using totem-xine via yum.yum install totem-xine

To me mplayer plays BETTER than totem-xine becuse if you try to play a digital cam video in quicktime format totem, xine, vlc dont even match to mplayer.

Mplayer solved it for me. I only use totem for movie playback from time to time but to any other file or movies I call upon mplayer.

Dear Robatino,

I have installed Mplayer using yum following this instruction:

http://easylinux.info/wiki/Fedora_fc5#How_to_install_Multimedia_Player_.28MPl ayer.29_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox

AFTER that I have installed all codecs like you in /usr/lib/32.

Problem is now that my MPlayer now does not even start, but Xine plays all formats.

Once trying to start MPlayer it just says error.

Any ideas how to fix MPLayer again ?

Uninstall and install again maybe ??

Thanks and regards.
