Who knows? Will anyone ever know? There are two ways I know of and have used to make totem play encumbered file types. In both cases you also need to install the win32 codecs, which can be downloaded from the mplayer site or installed from the ATrpms repo (and possibly others, I haven't looked). 1) Remove the totem package installed by default and is linked with gstreamer. 2) Install the gstreamer-pitfdll package which enables gstreamer to use the win32 codecs, as mplayer and xine both do. I won't disagree at all that shipping totem as the default player for media it cannot handle isn't the right thing to do. I've not ever had it installed long enough without enabling the support for various encumbered codecs to see check what mime-types are in that list nor whether anyone's opened a bug about it in bugzilla. It's also not that mysterious to make this stuff work. It comes up often enough on this list and a little googling will lead one to one or more of the above methods. - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Left to Her own devices, nature cures stupidity. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iG0EARECAC0FAkSM1X0mGGh0dHA6Ly93d3cucG9ib3guY29tL350bXovcGdwL3Rt ei5hc2MACgkQuv+09NZUB1qkMQCfeIn55ij/7z2l5+4+sZisIS9cocgAnj7KzIuM Ld4vGS0+9WfsCts7KRxe =tRlL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
