Fedora, by design, does not include any packages that are patent or license encumbered. So, if the codec being used by the videos that you are trying to watch is proprietary (say h264), then it will not be included in Fedora. Does this mean that Fedora users wear hair shirts, and don't watch such videos? :-) No. There are repositories that package such software for Fedora, but usually in jurisdictions where it is legal to do so. Thus rpmfusion.org (and others). If you go to rpmfusion, https://rpmfusion.org/ and look at the packages there, you will find ffmpeg as Jerry suggested, but you will also find versions of other packages that use patent and licensed encumbered software. ffmpeg is the engine behind many video and audio programs such as vlc, mplayer, audacity, audacious, etc. It is also at rpmfusion that the proprietary nvidia driver is packaged for fedora. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
