I think you should install EasyLife Fedora.  It installs códecs and other stuff, is very useful.


Regards and hope this helps,

Ok so FINALLY I've gone ahead and gotten my laptop upgraded to Fedora 
17! But I now am trying to play .mp4 / .flv/ .avi movies on it and 
getting an error message telling me that there are plugins missing. I 
also get error messages when I try to play mp3's. Even though I get 
system sounds. Is there something I've missed? I've followed most of the 
online forums which recommed installing something called RPM Fusion, but 
when I did that and then tried the Movie Player again I got the same 
window now telling me that there's an ASF demuxer missing........(sigh!) 
why couldn't the building of these distros have included this stuff? I'm 
getting tired of having to search for things that should be included 
with an OS, and I'm not realy bashing or complaining to anyone in 
particular, but it just seems to me that these things should be 
"standard" no?....I mean whether it's a $82,000.00 or a $4,000.00 car 
they BOTH come with a steering wheel, brakes, windows, headlights, 
brake-lights a trunk, windshield wipers etc.....those things are 
STANDARD.....why cannot these distros be the same?.....if it's a 
licensig issue or some sort of violaton of some technology thing, why 
can't someone create the substitute?.....kind of like how they came out 
with LightSpark & GNash to replace Flash.....it's just kind of annoying 
is all But any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 
In Advance....
