Mp3 codecs not installed, please help!

[smolloy]

This is definitely a repository problem. We need to work on that first.

ls /etc/yum.repos.d

And

less /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo

and i did not set them up myself. like i said, im a newbie to linux as it is, i wouldn't know how to do that, lol.

[smolloy]

Did you try the commands I suggested in my last post? That might help us figure it out.

This is definitely a repository problem. We need to work on that first.

ls /etc/yum.repos.d

And

less /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo

[*****@localhost ~]$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d
fedora-development.repo    fedora-updates-testing.repo  livna.repo.rpmsave
Fedora-install-media.repo  livna-devel.repo             livna-testing.repo
fedora.repo                livna.repo
fedora-updates.repo        livna.repo~

and for the second one i get this:

OK, I'm sorry, but I'm stuck. Something's up with your package manager, and I can't figure out what it is.

The only thing I can suggest is to clean out the database and try again.

yum clean all
yum update
yum install gstreamer gstreamer-plugins gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly

Sorry I can't help more.

Also, don't forget the livna repo.

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm

Good luck... cuz I'm more confused than smolloy on this one!

[tylihongkong]

Well, none of those commands seemed to have helped me. so i decided to download RealPlayer and I can play music now, lol. Thanks for trying though!
