Hi, :)

I have just installed Fedora Core 8 and wanted to import and play MP3 files
with Rhythmbox 0.11.3.

But I get the message 'The GStreamer plugins to decode "MP3" files cannot be
found'.

Could anyone tell me where to find them and how to install them?

Thanks if so :)

David

Hi David, welcome to the Fedora community. Don't worry! That's easy to
fix. It looks like you need a third party repository. Myself I use
only livna, which you can find at rpm.livna.org and has almost
everything you will need. You can read their instruction on how to
enable it. But ff you have no previous experience enabling repos and
such I recommend the excellent guide located at
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f8.html. There you will
find instructions on how to set up your Fedora installation.
Just one little advice: Don't enable more than one extra repository.
If you install livna, stick with it otherwise you will end up having
missing dependencies aka "rpm hell"

Greetings,

Rafael
