Livna down

nicstevens42 · #1 21st February 2009, 04:24 PM

I just installed F10 and want to get multimedia working. All the tutorials I have seen suggest livna but they are down (not even their DNS replies). I don't know if they are down for good.

Are there alternatives to livna and making dvds play (libdvdcss) and other multi-media formats including mp3s?

most of the stuff has been moved to rpmfusion.org
there are several media players out there, vlc, mplayer, totem...
to play mp3's you have to install the codecs, for rhythmbox it's gstreamer-plugins-ugly, gstreamer-plugins-bad

AFAIK, only Livna provides libdvdcss that is needed to play protected DVDs.

well I got gstreamer-ugly-bad but there was no gstreamer-ugly. I have the windows codecs loaded but konqueror and nautilus both refuse to build thumbnails (which I used to have) of movies I already have... any ideas on how to get the thumbnails rebuilt properly instead of a folder of 600 generic thumbnails?
