Play Divx / Mp3 on Fedora

Filed under Fedora {26 comments}

Update
Works with Fedora 16

By default fedora does not provide totem plugins to play divx / mp3.

To get plugin support run following commands as root

rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-ugly -y

You can also install vlc

    It Shows Error like
    “Error: Package: ffmpeg-libs-0.7.1-1.fc16.i686 (rpmfusion-free-rawhide)
    Requires: libva.so.1
    You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
    ”
    So please help me.

    My vlc player only plays Video not Audio.

      try “yum install libva -y”
      libva is there on fedora repo, if still not working try “yum clean all”
