Fedora Core 12 DVD Playback and other Tips
I just installed Fedora Core 12 and now I need to set up all the things that Fedora forgot or just did not include.
Yumex
I like the deatail that you can get with Yumex over package installer.
Fedora Button > Applications > System > Software Management In the search bar type in “yumex” then click on the yumex package then click Apply
The following commands have to be run as a superuser “su”.
Next I add the RPM Fusion repositories at the command line type in this:
# yum localinstall –nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
# yum update
Now install MP3 player
# yum install xmms xmms-mp3 xmms-faad2 xmms-pulse xmms-skins
Next the missing codecs:
# yum install rhythmbox gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg
Navigate to: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/
Select the package (.tar.bz2) best matching your version of Fedora/Architecture. Generally 32-bit users will use: all-20100303.tar.bz2.
Install the codecs (32-bit for example):
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/codecs
# tar -jxvf all-20100303.tar.bz2 –strip-components 1 -C /usr/lib/codecs/
DVD Playback:
# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm
# rpm –import /etc /pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna
# yum install libdvdcss
Install some media players:
# yum install mplayer mplayer-gui gecko-mediaplayer mencoder
# yum install xine xine-lib-extras xine-lib-extras-freeworld
Have fun
