[Ambassadors] Issue about multimedia codes while migrating a music school to half Fedora, half Suse.

[Mohd Hanafiah Muhamad]

I would like to suggest to use VLC videolan player.

First install livna repo.

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

then run yum

yum install vlc

VLC is an opensource video player that supported many codec.

Good luck
