XMMS help
Please somebody help me. I have just installed Red Hat 8, and I simply cannot get XMMS to play MP3's. No matter what I try, it refuses. The only thing it does is to show a lot of gibberish in the playlist window and scroll it by real fast. What it looks like is as though I were seeing the file in HEX.

Red hat does not have mp3 support due to its concerns over licensing/patent issues. On the xmms website, you can find an mp3 plugin for redhat which fixes this. Just download the rpm for the mp3 plugin, click on the rpm, enter your root password and the package wll be installed. The mp3 plugin is widely available on other red hat rpm repositories.

Hi!
Thanks for the help. Got the plugin and XMMS is now playing MP3's beautifully. I tried to update to version 1.2.8, but it refuses to install, saying that some files were not found. How do I get the system to install the package anyway? |

If xmms is working for you, it's probably not worth upgrading. Those missing files are probably libraries and if you try to install them you'll get error messages that they are incompatable with something that's already there.
