media file decoder

[foampile]

i have recently rebuilt my F16 and cannot remember what i had done in the previous installation to enable using media files (both audio and video) but surely i was able to.

both Amarok and Rythmbox are complaing that i am missing an mp3 decoder. this is what i have found and done so far but does not help:

http://ask.fedoraproject.org/questio...16-to-play-mp3

which comes down to the following two yum installs:

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...ble.noarch.rpm

yum install gstreamer-{ffmpeg,plugins-{good,ugly,bad{,-free,-nonfree}}}

however, Amarok still pops a box asking to install an mp3 decoder (see attachment)

what do i need to do?

thanks

Hi foampile
Have you tried Autoplus at http://dnmouse.org/autoten/ . His scripts should install everything properly. Cheers...

everything worked once i rebooted the computer.

i hear about AutoPlus but i like to document and save the sequence of all my install steps in a file for DR and rebuild. so most of it are yum commands. it would be somewhat harder to capture steps as done through a UI like AutoPlus.

but thanks

For all Linux newbies Howtoforge is a great place to learn howto set up rpmfusion etc. They offer a step by step hand holding approach with screen shots which can take out some of the initial fear

Of course searching the Fedora forum will also provide a wealth of info!

Actually, you can download the source rpm for autoplus from Dangermouse's site, and it will have the scripts in it containing all of the yum commands

You can do what you wish, change the script, use it to document the process, send them to your favorite aunt in katmandu, whatever..

Hi foampile
As with all good coders his "source" is available on his site. Just download (an rpm), as I have done, and discover. Cheers...

maybe that was included in what i did (2 yums above). cuz Amarok works fine with just what i did.

AutoPlus does similar things as Apper, correct ?
