The other day I had a problem getting yum through a proxy - that one I
have solved and thanks for the help that I have received from you guys -
I was pointed in the right direction. I am looking for codecs so that I
can play my AVI, and other audio formats. I have followed the steps
listed at
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-fedora9-gnome-p5, however
without any success. When I try to play avi files, it still points me
to a site where I can purchase the codecs. In Ubuntu, which I used
before moving to Fedora, I only needed to download the Ubuntu-restricted
package and it worked. I have searched on Google, but also with no luck
unless I have searched in a stupid way.
Please, just point me again in the right direction, like a website - I
like playing around and figure the things out myself.
Regards
Leon

I guess mplayer should play avi files.

Yes it does.

You need to start playing around with livna, google that!

Just visit
www.mplayerhq.hu
and download the codec tarball. Install in /usr/lib/codecs.

What are you trying to play the files with?
Totem, listed as "Movie Player" in the Gnome menus, will use the
gstreamer plugins. If you set up the Livna repo [1] you can add the
good, bad, and, ugly plugins for it. That'll increase that player's
abilities.
i.e. yum install gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly
Mplayer seems to handle more formats, and you can add a binary codec
bundle downloaded from their website [2]. It's a tarball, pick the one
for Linux, and you'd manually unpack it to one of the default locations.
It's probably easier to yum install mplayer from the usual Fedora repos,
and just use the codec tarball, rather than install everything from the
tarballs on the mplayer site. The mplayer-gui package seems a bit
dicey, I've often found the GUIfied version to crash playing files that
the other command line version would play fine. Using something else
for the GUI, such as gnome-mplayer, seemed much more reliable.
Xine plays a lot of files, too. And if you install the
xine-lib-extras-nonfree package from the Livna repo, it plays even more.
And there's VLC. That plays a plethora of files, and includes a lot of
codecs in its installation. Again, you can install that from the Livna
repo.
Mplayer's probably my preferred player, VLC my second choice. I haven't
really tried any others.
1. Visit http://rpm.livna.org/ and follow their instructions
2. Visit http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
A listing of the packages on my system that would seem to be obviously
related to the various players is below. There may be some other things
that are used too, but yum should fetch them for you if the package is
needed.
Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.

In Kubuntu do all audio visual programs share codecs? E.g. if I install the
codec for .mp3 for amarok will programs like mplayer pick them up or vice
versa?

I think, but don't know, that they do.

I think, but don't know, that they do.
in ubntu, there's usually one backend program responsible for handling
codecs, and all programs, instead of each having it's own codecs
colection. they use this backend program to be provided with the codecs
they need. for instance, amarok uses the xine engine, when you install
mp3 support, you are actually giving this codec to xine. all programs
that use xine will have the codec.

For the most part, all *nix programs know to look in standard places
for shared libraries. An exception is VLC.
