may help.u need to configure yum with 3rd party repositories like livna,dag,atrpms etc for multimedia support(Linux cant supposedly carry these plugins by default coz of patents in countries like US)

Alternatively you can install vlc medial player. Go here for instructions: *rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/
