How to install vlc media player on Fedora 12

[babloo75]

I have just shifted from Ubuntu based system to Fedora 12, but am unable to install vlc media player on this OS. I searched for the same here and followed the instructions as:

$ su
$ yum install -y vlc

I got these results:

[babloo@Babloo ~]$ su
Password:
[root@Babloo babloo]# yum install -y vlc
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package vlc available.
Nothing to do
[root@Babloo babloo]#

Can anybody tell me how to install vlc in Fedora 12 ?
Thanks in advance.

VLC isn't hosted in the main Fedora repositories, you need to install RPM Fusion (kind of like, the I think it's "Universe" repository under Ubuntu, but it might be "Multiverse").

http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

Once you install RPM Fusion you should be able to install vlc with yum just like you tried.

I searched for it a bit more, and found it here:

$> su -
#> rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm
#> yum install vlc

Anyway, thanks kagenatatsu.

is there any other way to do it? different repository?
I try to install, but I get

Can't install /tmp/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm as no transaction

[root@me ~]# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'download1.rpmfusion.org'
error: skipping http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm - transfer failed

am I doing something wrong? I am quite the n00b.

It looks like the server may have just been down. I tried clicking on the link under "Graphical Setup via Firefox Web Browser" and it prompted me for install.

If the command line doesn't work, try the link I posted above.

for fedora 12 you need to download rpmfusion for fedora 12 and install vlc using the following commands:
=======================================
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...2-1.noarch.rpm

yum install vlc
