Cant get all codecs working so that my torrenting qube will play all audio and video files

cant get 265 video and e-ac-3 audio to work… tried installing rpm fusion repos amongst other things… nothing seems to work. whats easiest fix for beginners? install vlc or parole media player w snap or flatpak so all codecs are in there?

it says cant find rpm fusion repos

downloaded mpv and ffmpeg with no luck. downloaded them in fedora 42 template

could you provide some code that may help to ensure im downloading all of the correct things so all my media plays back smooth?

In 3-4 days I’ll be home. Then I’ll can check what exact packages I have installed.
Unless someone else can do it faster.

It looks like a mistake. Provide some error message or any dnf output + context.

i looked up on google and its ai gave me how to fix it. the template keeps spitting out that it cant reach the repos and it just keeps not working.

if someone provides some code i should use i could throw it in there and give you the output. that would be very helpful.

I’ve used things like this and now its saying theres a syntax error. its been like it cant connect to repos website or use them in past i think

sudo dnf install download1.rpmfusion.org(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm download1.rpmfusion.org(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Why dont you copy-paste some official instructions?

being a beginner i dont think of these things. just tryna find so much is like drinking from a firehose. thanks for the help i’ll try it out.

would you more so recommend a torrenting appvm in a debian os rather than fedora 42?

EDIT: so the repos were actually already installed. then i used this command from the website to set it to 264 auto. but what if its a 265 file or the sound has a weird codec like the one i posted before?

on parole media player it will say i dont have the codec and that it can be installed. i press install but it never lets me watch or hear the thing that has the different audio or 265 video file yet.

I’ve made sure to try and stick to 264 files. but sometimes those files arent as popular as a 265 file available. want to be able to accept all formats of audio and video in this appvm.

Ok.
That’s packages in my multimedia qube that plays x265 10bit with E-AC in mpv
