Welcome to This Forum
You have to enable RPMFusion repo in Fedora 9 and install the GStreamer packages which is similar to K-Lite Codec Pack in Windows.

What error? Are you using GNOME or KDE? If GNOME then install GStreamer and if KDE then instll libxine

how to install the codecs ----> we can use the yum installer or normal installation

 

[Rahim]

Better download VLC, no need to download codecs

 

[damngoodman999]

i installed VLC , but asking for dependencies also codec

 

[Rahim]

Thats strange. Have you installed VLC from PackageKit?

 

[damngoodman999]

ya i got that frm DIGIT cd !!! but its askin for codec ?? do u have any idea abt this

 

[Rahim]

Download VLC from PackageKit in Fedora 9 and you wont have any problem. In Linux one package depends on another. Thats why we use Package Manager to download & install applications in Linux.

 

[damngoodman999]

is there available in the dvd of fc9 ?? i dint see there

 

[Rahim]

The applications are stored online in a repository. You have to search and install in distro-based Software Manager.

 

[damngoodman999]

ya i get it ::: using yum installer rite !!

& can u specify the path of the file "vlc"

 

[Rahim]

Arey baba, open your Package Manager(Yum), search for VLC and select it to install. It will download VLC and install it. To run VLC, press Alt+F2 and enter vlc. Was that too difficult?

 

[damngoodman999]

noo , not at all i ll try sure

 

[Flake]

Or Execute this

su -
yum -y install vlc

Thats it. Look for VLC Player in Menu.

 

[talktorishav]

also you might want to do

sudo -s
yum install mplayer

But I prefer vlc though.
