fedora 17: play media files

i've been having troubles playing my video and music files on my fedora because of a missing codec. and this is what fedora says:

sebastian moreno shared this quick fix to play mp3 files: (http://sebastianmoreno.com.uy/?p=170)

here's his instruction:

Install rpmfusion:

su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

Install gstreamer plugins

sudo yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg -y

after installing rpmfusion and gstreamer i launced rhythm box and it started installing the files it needs to play my media.


a lot of thanks, man!

and guess what, i can now play my avi vids too!!
