Open a terminal and become root using ‘su’.
Now type at terminal these commands to make your fedora play multimedia files.
# rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
# yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-nonfree
# yum install xine xine-lib libdvdcss
Now you will be able to play mp3s and dvds in your fedora 11.

Just to clarify… You need to install the free component first. So swap steps one and two here. I attempted to use this to install, and got an error that I was missing dependencies. These dependencies are installed via step 2, therefore must be installed first.
This will allow you to play divx and other types of media files as well, however you will need to install the addition codecs. However, Linux will now do this for you because it has the gstreamer databases available to it.
Thanks Micheal.. its done..
