    XMMS fedora 11

    Does anyone know how to enable mp3 support for xmms in fedora 11?
    yum -y install xmms.mp3 doesn't work anymore. I can't find it either trough the add/remove software menu.

    I also tried gstreamer-pluging-ugly or something like that but it didn't work.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    I see it in the rpmforge repository, at least for the 64-bit version, on my RHEL/CentOS 5.3 system. The version I show is 1.2.10-14.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    XMMS has not been included in the default Fedora install for a while. This page will help you with installing multimedia apps, codecs and plugins on your Fedora installation.

    I guess before installing XMMS in f11, you need to install lame & libmad from rpmfusion.

    su -
    password : rootpassword
    #>rpm -Uvh http[semi-colon]//download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/lame-3.98.2-3.fc11.i586.rpm
    #> yum install lame
    #> rpm -Uvh http[semi-colon]//download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/libmad-0.15.1b-11.fc11.i586.rpm
    #> yum install libmad
    then....
    if you are installing XMMS for first time
    #>yum install xmms xmms-mp3 xmms-faad2 xmms-pulse xmms-skins
    if you want to modify current installation
    #>yum reinstall xmms xmms-mp3 xmms-faad2 xmms-pulse xmms-skins

    hope, this will install XMMS nicely coz at present i use XMMS, and i like it too!

    i would like to give pin-point solutions rather than discussing legacy whether it's natively included in f11 distribution or not.

    If you are running Fedora 10 or Fedora 11 the easiest and best way to get your audio and video extras is by using Dangermouse Autoten it is simple and painless way to get your Fedora box up to speed with just a few mouse clicks.
