XMMS will play most all audio, with the proper plugin. To get the
mp3 working
you need to be able to access livna.org. to do this run the command:
rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4-0.lvn.2.4.noarch.rpm
which will install the proper yum config files in /etc/yum/repo.d/
you should now be able to: yum install xmms-mp3
For videos you need a different program. I have used mplayer for years
and have been fairly happy with it
it is available at livna also, although I have had much better luck with
the package available at freshrpms.net
if you just yum install mplayer\* you will get all the goodies you need
to view most all videos. there are more
codecs available at the mplayer homepage though I'll warn you, the
documentation on how to use them is sparse.
Others will advise you to use xine or kaffee etc. etc. Try a few and see
what you like!
