Autoten to help install codecs,flash etc...

[debo2011]

pilotferdi:

That's a good idea, but in my experience, the language barriers and time are important. I would say from my experience with the younger project, called PostinstallerF. Autoplus was the inspiration for this project. To help Spanish-speaking people and super newbies. Now supporting English. The project evolved as never imagined. Long ago, Fedora Utils wanted to unite forces with them, but got no answers. In linux there is diversity. Everyone chooses what suits your needs.

I have had no reports so far of any problems on f18 please do report any problems or if anyone has any suggestions for new features etc.. (mate desktop will be added soon) then please do so preferably by email davidmwilks@gmail.com.

Have you updated your script to install the gstreamer1 packages? Fedora 18 uses those for some of the audio codecs now.

What I have done is to install all of the gstreamer packages here.

yum install gstreamer* --exclude=*devel,*doc

This installs more than I usually use, but gets them all. Both gstreamer and gstreamer1 packages.

Edit:

Other than that, there is another issue, but it's not an issue with your script, unless they have an updates winff package available.

I looked and they do have updated winff packages. They have the 1.5.0 beta, but I believe they have a 1.4.2 stable. You may want to see if updating your script fixes the issues.

Only other thing is I wish they had a 64 bit version of lightscribe, but that's not an issue with your script.

Evenin' Dave.

Maybe when Enlightenment hits the repos?

[DBelton]

Just a note..

The winff 1.5.0 beta still has the same issue

I found a error

Yes, there's a working version for F18: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=288007 (Post #6).

Dave, want me to copy you with Leigh's workaround?

[DBelton]

That problem isn't with the script. That problem is in the Google Earth package, and there's nothing DM can do about that.

Even the later Google Earth version has the same problem.

Dan, thanks to Leigh's info, I've got it working on F18 (64 bit).

[Dangermouse]

Not mch i can do about the Winff and GoogleEarth problems hopefully they will fix the problems (catch up) soon, maybe i shall remove them on the next update untill the packages are fixed, however they still work fine in f17, also the gstreamer1 codecs are included for f18.in the latest Autoten

Thanks Dan and DBelton

Enlightenment when its available Dan

What's the difference between install mp3 codecs and install most codecs?
Or better, which codecs are installed by the latter (does it include mp3 codecs)?

[GoinEasy9]

Installing mp3 codecs, just installs those codecs. Install most codecs, installs, what seems to be, EVERY codec known to man. Heh. I usually install most codecs, it includes the mp3 ones.

BTW - gstreamer-good, bad and ugly and libdvdcss are usually enough now. I may try just them next fresh install.
