How to RUN MP3 , DVD Video in Fedora 11

Multimedia Support in Fedora 11

Because of Copywrite and license issues Fedora 11 cannot include Multimedia support like MP3 and DVD Playback and Adobe Flash Player

You can Run MP3 and other Multimedia files in Fedora 11 , follow the steps

Open a terminal and become root ( using su command), then run this command:

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Now, Install all other plug ins..

# yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-nonfree

After installation, open Amarok or any other multimedia player and try to play the mp3 file and see if all goes fine and your system is ready to play Music.

To run DVD, QuickTime, AVI, and DVDs

# yum install xine xine-lib libdvdcss

Now Your Fedora 11 is Multimedia Ready

I'm so glad I found your post! I've been trying to get mp3 support for days.

Thank for your support. This was the simplest instruction set I found which worked perfectly first time round.
When I download the software as per your instructions am I legally compliant ?

i was just on rpmfusions' wish list and they do not host libdvdcss you have to get it from rpm.livna.org or put the following in a terminal:
su -c "rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm"

then install libdvdcss

Should we be connected after downloading to two free and nonfree packages.
because I don't have linux internet connection and I downloaded the two file from the two links from windows Vista.
However the commands don't run!

Thank you very much for the post. i was using linux long time ago with redhat 7.1, and after years again now using fedora 11. i was wondoring why no mp3 playing or dvd in fedora. so through google i got you.thanx again

but there is some problem, that is after installing thru your instruction still i coludnt play any of musics or dvd. then while playing mp3 it was asking same driver update message.
fourth time i just try update driver, then it found gstreamer automatically and updated everything. now i am able to play wm and mp3 files.

for dvd i used kaffeine player. beginnig same story, could not open. then what i do, just go to the settings menu. and under player engine selected kaffeine_Gstreamer instead of kaffiene_xine.

Now iam happy. i can play dvd also.

may be it will be helpful to somebody.
i am using hp dv200 series dv2840ei laptop.
