When I try to read a .wmv file, I get the error message: "Totem could not play 'file://tmp/F15.wmv'. You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.' Granted that I am missing something, what is it, and where do I get it / install it? Thanks in advance -- Bob T.

One of the first things I do on a CentOS desktop install is replace Totem by a combination of vlc and mplayerplug-in, and rhythmbox by xmms. Both in Rpmforge repo. Additional plugins for xmms (wma, mpc, ace) by SRPM from Fedora 6.

I'm a fan of mplayer, too, but how do you "replace" totem with it? I don't much care for totem at all - it was one of the reasons I switched from Suse to CentOS (well, okay, that and inexperience plus now using CentOS at work and home and getting more comfortable with it all around).

I don't install it in the first place :o)
I'm always starting from a minimal stripped-down install, then add components and configure them one after another. In that case, 'yum groupinstall "X Window System"', configure that, then 'yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"', which contains neither Totem nor Rhythmbox.
After this, I install what I consider the best-of-the-breed for each task. The only 'double employment' comes for VLC and MPlayer, since the mplayerplug-in comes in very handy to play various stuff on the web, like the Real Media streams on Amazon, or stuff like that.

Hi,
With the new CentOS 5 release, I can't do a full installation with the tag "%packages" "@everything" in my kickstart file. It seem that this option has been removed.
How can we do now for a full installation with ALL rpms ?
Regards.

Yes, the "everything" install has been removed. This goes for all install methods, not just kickstart.

Yes. As you now can add repositories during install time, this has gone away. What is "all" anyway, if you add rpmforge and other repos before installing?

yum install "*"

Many propietary codecs (wmv, quicktime, mp3, etc) are covered under various licensing issues and are not shipped with Upstream (RHEL). This being the case they are not included in the rebuild process. There are several repositories (rpmforge, etc) that will have these packages on them.
