I get alot of questions like. How to do I install mp3 support and how do I play a dvd movie in Fc4. Well I have a simple how to to help you play that movie and or mp3.
First run this command as su(root). This will install the livna rpms wich have tons of apps
Code:
rpm -ihv http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4-0.lvn.7.4.noarch.rpm
Second Run this. freashrpms also have a lot of a huge libary of apps
Code:
rpm -ihv http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/4/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
Now lets install the Mp3 plugins
Code:
yum -y install xmms-mp3 gstreamer-plugins-mp3 libmad libid3tag
Now if you want a CD ripper I like grip its has a nice gui and it works.
Code:
yum -y install grip
Now lets install the Flash Plugin
Code:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/flash.repo
paste the following into that blank file

enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://macromedia.mplug.org/FEDORA-GPG-KEY
Code:
yum -y install flash-plugin
Now lets get some dvd action. this will install xine and everything else you need to play dvds. note this will install dvd libraries so you can use dvd with any other program that supports dvd. I just find that xine to be nice.
Code:
yum -y install xine xine-lib xine-skins
Now lets say you want to play a QuickTime, AVI or ASF well mplayer will do that.
Code:
yum -y --disablerepo=livna install mplayer mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts
Now for the windows 32 codecs. This will install everything you need to play most everything you can think of.
Code:
wget http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20050412.tar.bz2
gtar xjvf essential-20050412.tar.bz2
mkdir /usr/local/lib/win32
mv essential-20050412/* /usr/local/lib/win32
Now lets install the mpayer plugin for Internet Browsers
Code:
yum -y install mplayerplug-in
