Installing plugins for playing movies and music
As a Fedora user and system administrator, you can use these steps to install additional multimedia plugins that enable you to play various video and audio types.
If you live in a country where software patents apply, such as in the United States or in Japan, you need to obtain multimedia codecs from a source that legally distributes patented software in your country.
