totem

Can you get the add-ons and plug-ins for this that will let it play mpg, avi and wma files? I tried installing mplayer and then there were two files as dependencies that were needed that I didn't have. I never got it to work.

I'm getting errors from a few programs saying I don't have a decoder for mpg or wma files. Is there a system decoder to use or is it specific to each application that I want to try playing these videos from?

I think you need to ditch totem, and get totem-xine with gstreamer

totem-xine with gstreamer ? totem-xine uses xine-libs for backend, not gstreamer. totem without -xine uses gstreamer.

You should install totem-xine. Simple yum install totem-xine should do.

I almost continually run into one rock after another. yum works some, and here's the last two lines of output from when I do the command:

No Match for argument: totem-xine
Nothing to do

Am I supposed to edit a conf file for yum or something before running it? I tried this last night with another install of something else and that didn't work either.

Thanks!

Add the livna repo and do:

Code:

# yum install mplayer mplayer-fonts mplayer-gui

That's all I had to do to get MPlayer to run those files.

I suggest that you install Xine, Mplayer and the required codecs as described in the Notes.

I'm getting the same error msg with nothing to do. Does yum have to be configured to point somewhere or am I missing something really obvious?

Thanks!

That was neat...now to find what I was originally trying to do.

Thanks for the help!

This is killer.

Xine works, now just to get mplayer and the codec to play embedded wma files.
