Fedora Ambassador!!!!

Hi All,

Some of my dreams came true today. I have now become the FedoraProject Ambassador officially. I am just waiting to get a sponsor for me. Hopefully I may get in a day or two.

I always wanted to support for OpenSource. I think this is the time for me to prove my worth.

As of now I am thinking to support the Fedora Project for its Linux Installation, Free Media programs.

I need to think more and also have to decide upon my time to contribute more.

I am going on a party tonight..... Any body wants to join :-) ????

Take care,
Ananth Gouri

MP3 on Fedora 10 using Fluendo MP3 Plugin

Hi All,

This post just describes how to get MP3 support to Fedora 10.

Fluendo is a website which provides codecs for Linux systems. Check out www.fluendo.com

In particular fortunately to all MP3 lovers, Fluendo provides free MP3 plugin.

Go to www.fluendo.com/shop/product/fluendo-mp3-decoder/.

Create an account and then download the plugin.

Installing is pretty simple.

Use this command as root:
rpm -i fluendo-codecs-mp3-7-1.i386.rpm

Thanks to many changes made at Fluendo.

The older plugin install procedure is also given below for your ref:

The file downloaded would be a zip file.

Just unzip it. In the unzipped folder you would find a .so file.

Copy paste this .so file as follows:

1. Login as root or issue the su command.
2. Go to your root's home folder and type ls -a.
3. Then you find a gstreamer plugin folder which is a hidden folder.
4. Find the plugins folder or something as input folder.
5. cp /from__folder/*.so /home/gstreamer/

Thats it you are done.

Enjoy MP3.

Also if possible try out Mandriva Spring 2008 with which Fluendo Plugin Manager is
provided.

Take care,
Ananth Gouri
