Enable MP3 on Fedora 20

A very short how to enable mp3 playback on your brand new fedora installation.

  1. Enable PRM Fusion repository.
  2. Install the vlc phonon-backend. (Fedora comes with GStreamer).
    . yum install phonon-backend-vlc
  3. Goto system settings → Multimedia → Audio and Video Settings. Select the backend tab. There should be two entries there: GStreamer and VLC. Select the VLC entry and click the Prefer buttom below the list. Finally click Apply. The final result should be something like this:
  4. Log out and back in for the changes to take effect.

After that you can play and kind of context directly from Dolphin, you can install additional music players like amarok, or vlc and enjoy the full music, audio and video experence.

yum install vlc
yum install amarok amarok-doc
