[hennebry at localhost bus]$ cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS release 6.9 (Final)
[hennebry at localhost bus]$


<gnome-version>
   <platform>2</platform>
   <minor>28</minor>
   <micro>2</micro>

There is something the GUI calls movie player that does not play movies.
I think I need to install some codecs to make it work.
HAven''t tried to use it for a long time.
