In reply to ed. Not everyone wants to install smtube, QT5, and mplayer just to watch some videos on smplayer. VLC works fine, just use it.

In reply to Eri. You will also need to run sudo dnf update first i believe. Then run sudo dnf install vlc. But you shouldn't need vlc anyway. Totem or Videos as it's now known is pretty good these days. And as stated in a previous comment mplayer is a little cooler than vlc :]

For the love of God , why people use old laggy buggy Vlc is beyond me. Just install SMPLAYER and be done with it . Plays more than Vlc (tested), plays smoother than Vlc, and plays less glitchy. You welcome !

Hello , one question , in the second section ( 2. Install gstreamer plugins and ffmpeg )
there is repeated twice.
there is
dnf install … gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free
Can we rid of one?

In reply to sandra. To install VLC you should install rpmfusion repository first like the tutorial indicates. Otherwise you will not be able to find the package.
