xine and fedora 11

I keep getting this error when opening up an mpeg:
The stream 'there is no mrl.' uses an unsupported codec

video codec: mpeg 1/2 (0x0)
start play back anyway

i have followed all the directions on installing xine and I am using the livna repo...any other ideas?

Have you installed the audio / video codecs?

i followed those directions and I got the same result. Not able to play mpeg's in xine. this was not that hard in fedora 7...did that much change?

I doubt it. To be truthful, I follow all the steps for audio and video from that site because I like to try to have a system where all media types just work, but some just never do. So as an example of what I would do on my system,

sudo yum install yum install xmms xmms-mp3 xmms-faad2 xmms-pulse xmms-skins audacious audacious-plugins-freeworld* rhythmbox gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg amarok xine-lib-extras-freeworld mplayer mplayer-gui gecko-mediaplayer mencoder

all in one step and be done with it. After doing this I seem to be able to get the majority of media types to play. The others? Dunno.

still no luck...any other ideas?

Give me a link to a site that you're trying to play videos from, or whatever it is you're trying to do, and let's see if they work for me.

i was trying to watch mpegs from my hard drive so no link available...however, i added the two RPM fusion repos suggested in the link you provided and 'disco' able to view my mpegs in xine and mplayer. thanks for all your help dude!

Great to know that you've got things working.

Thanks. This was very helpful for me. I was trying to view DVDs on my HP dv4000, with a new installation of FC13. The command above apparently installed all the codecs needed to view DVDs on the Movie Player app that came bundled with FC13.
