Well and good, but totem comes up by default.

First I would have to figure out how to get mplayer and xine to work.
Then I would need to figure out how to kill the totem default.  Oh well,
I guess this begins that learning curve.


You could try setting up totem-xine, totem with an xine backend,
instead of gstreamer:

If you are just looking for the gstreamer codecs to install, this
should be of interest:

Totem does support DVDs, but you need to install libdvdcss

When I said "learning curve" above, I meant regarding multimedia stuff. I figured that it might just, oh, ... I don't know ..., work?

Regarding the libdvdcss, I remember poking around a bit and I yum installed something that contained it, but it didn't seem to help.

Multimedia is it's own learning curve and I've barely scratched the surface.

But thanks for the hints.

# yum list all | grep totem
totem.i386                 2.18.1-3.fc7           installed
totem-mozplugin.i386       2.18.1-3.fc7           installed
totem-plparser.i386        2.18.1-3.fc7           installed
gnome-python2-totem.i386   2.18.0-1.fc7           fedora
totem-devel.i386           2.18.1-3.fc7           fedora

This doesn't reveal a totem-xine.

# yum list all | grep xine
gxine.i386                 0.5.11-4.fc7           installed
gxine-mozplugin.i386       0.5.11-4.fc7           installed
oxine.i386                 0.6.6-3.fc7            installed

xine-lib-devel.i386        1.1.7-1.fc7            installed
xine-lib-extras.i386       1.1.7-1.fc7            installed
xine-plugin.i386           1.0-3.fc7              installed
xinetd.i386                2:2.3.14-12.fc7        installed

This reflects the fact that I yum-installed everything xine. This didn't help.

I'll take a look at the links you provided.

Thanks again.
