Hello Friends, today I wanna talk about codecs and
how to install it on fedora to run most of multimedia on your computer.
First you need to open up a terminal, and I’ll show you step by step
what commands should we type.
Let's say RPM Fusion is something like additional repository for fedora, I’m not going to explain this deeply, so if you don’t already have it, get it by typing:
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
Installing Codecs on the system
I was having a problem watching twitch and other streaming platform on firefox but after I research I solve the problem by Installing ffmpeg packages
sudo dnf install ffmpeg-libs compat-ffmpeg28
by doing that I can watch any stream videos on my browser just fine, next we are gonna install some codecs to be able to run most video player files on the local machine, the most common and effective way is to group install a group called “multimedia”, this group contain all the codecs good stuff, you will be able to run audio and video , MPEG4, h263, ac3, mp4, avi, flv and others, just type:
sudo dnf groupinstall Mutimedia
it should works fine but if somehow doesn’t works for you for any reason just try to group update instead of group install by typing:
sudo dnf groupupdate Multimedia
You are pretty much done, You should expect everything works fine right now for both local files and on the browser.
Optional: Installing VLC Player
Although your favorate media player should be able to run just fine but VLC Player is my favorate media player of all time, it is strong, solid, stable and have a lot of features, It is almost a complete media player, just install it by typing:
sudo dnf install vlc
That’s all, thank you for reading and I hope this post helps you someway.
