Video and MP3 Support for Fedora Core 11

With the release of Fedora Core 11 coming, you will need to know how to get Video Codecs and MP3 support. As always, the Fedora team is not releasing FC11 with MP3 support. I have a quick two lines on how you can get the support for all your media content.

First, you have to add the repositories that you will need to get the packages. Open your terminal and become Super. Then just cut and past in these commands.

[User1@localhost]# su –

[root@localhost]# rpm -Uhv http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm

[root@localhost]# yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly

You may have to answer Yes to some questions, but that should do it. You now have MP3 and Video support.

Nothing is impossible and we hope you Fedora fans will enjoy your MP3’s and Videos!!!

Enjoy

1 Since a particular version, Fedora is not called Fedora Core

2 Isn’t rawhide the development head of Fedora? If Fedora does not include Mp3 support for some reason, why does rawhide have?
