How to Play H.264 Movies in Fedora 18 Movie Player (Totem)


After moving to Fedora 18, I added "rpmfusion" and installed gstreamer plugin pack. Unfortunately Totem can not play mkv movie a.k.a H264 movies and AAC codec.

To play those in fedora 18 you need to install gstreamer1 package as follows.


[root@localhost kasun]# yum install gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras \
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-base-tools \
gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free \
gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-base gstreamer1


This will fix the issues.

You saved my time. Actually I was having a different problem. It was that the Empathy calling wasn't working. I had missed gstreamer1-plugins-base-tools.

Thanks!
