Plug-in installation failure - (nothing to do, no package available, transfer failed)

[hamac90]

Hi, I'm new to this system and trying to install plug-ins is driving me crazy! I have tried various methods from other forums and blogs, but I always seem to get some sort of rejection..


[root@localhost haley]# yum install vlc

So then I checked to see if I had rpmfusion-nonfree, and I do. I really have no idea what to do, I have spent hours trying to get this work. I want to be able to open any media file, avi, wma, mp4, etc... Please help :)

I tried this already. I tried it again and got this message...
failed to install file: Can't install /home/haley/Downloads/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch (6).rpm as no transaction.
So then I tried to install it through terminal and got this...

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-nonfree. Please verify its path and try again

Thanks, anyway.

If you use a proxy server then you should follow these commands to use proxy server-->

http_proxy=http://Username:Passwd@Proxy:Portnumber

and then export the variables by doing this-->

export http_proxy

where =>
Username is your username given to you by your proxy administrator
Passwd is your respective password for using proxy server
Proxy is the proxy address
Portnumber is the respective portnumber.

it will definitely help you ..
