Need help for playing videos woth Totem [SOLVED]

I am a new (and satisfied!) fedora 7 user, but I have a problem for playing videos with Totem. Mainly .wmv, .mpeg and .avi formats are not recognized.

Hy,

The two MP3 players rhythmbox and Totem (movie player) use the gstreamer engine and installing gstreamer-plugins-ugly will enable mp3-playback for both.
This is the code for installing the plugin: yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly
In order for Totem (movie player) to read video we should install also this code:
yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg

Edit:
Video players:
mplayer, VideoLAN Client (vlc) and Xine, all which may provide playback of some video formats that totem does not.
The code for these tree video player is:
yum install mplayer vlc xine

Hope it helps

thanks for you help Hermouche

I vave tried both commands in a terminal, but without success :

[root@localhost ~]# yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do
[root@localhost ~]# yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do
[root@localhost ~]#

If I have e look to my package installer, these items are not listed for intallation, neither vlc

Thanks for your answer

Eric

You have to install the livna repo first.

You can find the rpm that'll install the repo stuff here:

http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/

It's on the front page, install the rpm for your version then do the yum commands he listed again.

Oh yes RJFUatHOME,
Forgot to say it and to give the path, well i thought that it was obvious, anyway this is the code:

code:
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm

then just after follow what we have said before
