I'm using RHEL 6 . I'm unable to play the video using Movie Player. It shows an error, Movie Player requires additional plugins to decode this file. The following plugins are required : MPEG-4-AAC decoder and H.264 decoder. But RHEL asking for a subscription. How to solve this problem or Suggest me any alternate softwares to install ?
I solved the problem by installing the RPM Fusion repo and then
yum install gstreamer-ffmpeg

Did you enable the "nonfree" repository by chance? The package is inside the "free" one. download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/6/x86_64/repoview/… – Joril Mar 1 '14 at 19:55
I installed gstreamer*
and vlc
, and ensured that VLC would read the mpeg files

3Hi Leslie Satenstein. How did you do that? What made you choose those particular pieces of software? You should edit your answer to provide more details; otherwise, it may be at risk of being deleted as low quality. Answers that give the why and the how are much more useful not only to the person originally asking the question (in this case two and a half years ago) but also to people who might come across this question in the years to come. See How do I write a good answer? in our site's help center for some further hints. – user Jun 27 '16 at 16:54
I got the MPEG-1 video decoder plugin error and it resolved with following:
External repository created through below packages and installed required plugins.
- epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
- rpmfusion-free-release-6.noarch.rpm
Then through Yum installed gstreamer-ffmpeg.x86_64 0:0.10.11-2.el6
package and its dependency.
Installed:
gstreamer-ffmpeg.x86_64 0:0.10.11-2.el6
Dependency Installed:
dirac-libs.x86_64 0:1.0.2-4.el6
ffmpeg-compat.x86_64 0:0.6.7-1.el6
lame-libs.x86_64 0:3.99.5-1.el6
librtmp.x86_64 0:2.3-3.el6
libva.x86_64 0:1.0.15-1.el6
orc.x86_64 0:0.4.16-6.el6

x264-libs.x86_64 0:0.120-5.20120303.el6
xvidcore.x86_64 0:1.3.2-3.el6
The packages that worked for me, using REDHAT 7.4 enterprise, were the following:
libavcodec52-32bit-0.7.16-7.1.x86_64.rpm
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.11-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm
*** nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm ***
epel-release-7-11.noarch.rpm
If you don't find exact, you can always find alternatives, at http://www.pkgs.org
, just get ur version right i386, i586 or x86_64.
with RH 7.4 u can also use centOS, Fedora & RH & noarch.

1How would you be able to use centOS packages, for example? Can it cause any problems mixing and matching? – Guy Jan 30 '18 at 0:24
mplayer
, available at www.mplayerhq.hu. It comes with most codecs as part of its installation. There's even pre-built RPMs for RHEL in the "download" section. – dg99 Jan 2 '14 at 18:40
