Fedora 9 Multimedia Howto

Well It is that time again, Fedora 9 is out and looking pretty good so far, I especially like the way things have gotten more streamlined compared to previous versions of Fedora. Listed below once again is how to get multimedia support, 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-9.rpm ; rpm -ivh livna-release-9.rpm

Step 2: Add the Macromedia Repo

wget http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.no... ; rpm -ivh adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

Step 3: Install Multimedia Applications


yum -y install gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras gstreamer-plugins-ugly flash-plugin libflashsupport


you should now have full multimedia and video support for all popular formats. If you experience any issue feel free to post a reply.

***Updated***
Added the package [libflashsupport] due to flash video's having no audio.
