Audio video Playback In Fedora 7
In Order to fully appreciate my new Fedora 7 install's potential to be my begining and end all system, here are some of the programs i had to install in order to get full functionality. Just remember the following steps all need to be done as user "root".
Step 1: Add the livna Repo
wget rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm ; rpm -ivh livna-release-7.rpm
Step 2: Add the Macromedia Repo
wget macromedia.mplug.org/macromedia-i386.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/macromedia-i386.repo
Step 3: Install Multimedia Applications
yum -y remove totem totem-plparser;yum -y install totem-xine totem-xine-plparser rhythmbox libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay livdvdnav lsdvd mplayerplug-in mplayer mplayer-gui xine-lib-extras-nonfree libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay compat-libstdc++-33 flash-plugin mozplugger
Step 4: Installing w32Codecs in order to play everything under the Sun.
wget www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/mplayer-codecs-20061022-1.i386.rpm ; rpm -ivh mplayer-codecs-20061022-1.i386.rpm
wget www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/mplayer-codecs-extra-20061022-1.i386.rpm; rpm -ivh mplayer-codecs-extra-20061022-1.i386.rpm
you should now have full multimedia and video support for all popular formats. If you experience any issue feel free to post a reply.
*** UPDATE ***
Due to demand for Adobe Acrobat Reader, below is the simplest way to install it without having to add another repository.
wget ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/7x/7.0.9/enu/AdobeReader_enu-7.0.9-1.i386.rpm ; rpm -ivh AdobeReader_enu-7.0.9-1.i386.rpm
