As the totem player comes as default movie player by the installation of Fedora which is a Linux operating system and is unable to play DVD, rmvb etc. we can make make totem as an efficient tool for playing video by providing codec. Steps to provide codec for totem is as follows:
Add the repository which will be used for libdvdcss. The code to add libdvdcss is given below:
Download the codec and save it. We are going to use Xine so that totem can play movie. Extract the files into /usr/lib/codecs. The codec’s will be searched by the Xine in the directory. The code to download and extract the codec is given below:
Code:
cd Download //replace Download with the directory where you put the archive file
tar -jxvf all-20071007.tar.bz2
cp ./all-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs
Type the below code to install the downloaded codec
Code:
yum install totem-xine libdvdnav libdvdcss xine-lib-extras xine-lib-extras-freeworld
Use the below code to indicate totem about the installed codec
Code:
totem-backend -b xine
Now you can play the DVD and choose the default option popped in the dialog box which is appeared.
