fedora - mplayer (command line)

[haaber]

Hello,

I wanted to provide my fedora template with mplayer (command line
version). But according to dnf / yum that does not exist (?). This seems
a subject on its own in stand-alone fedora (f22 at least), and have
qubes-fedora won't make it more easy, I fear. I could live with vlc as
well, but it does not exist either.

Does somebody have this problem before me? Thank you! Bernhard

That's indeed an upstream decision of not including those packages in
fedora. The usual solution is to enable the rpmfusion repository, where
it can be found.

It's also a Qubes decision not to enable those repositories by default. It
has been discussed before and rejected,

You can use a Debian template instead. It has media players and codecs
readily available in its repository.
