The prior post had a typo.  It's "/etc/yum.repos.d" (notice the end).

...[snip]...  You've downloaded a few repo files in the same way.  That
part was okay.

Not sure why you expected the above to work.  The prior poster's example
had the wildcard.

No errors, no output, it did it's job silently.  If you listed the
directory you'd see the results.  But I'm not sure why to chmod them, I
thought the default modes would have been fine.

But your next problem stems from the /etc/yum.repos.d/ problem, above.
You needed to be in that directory, for the above to work (putting the
repo files into the repos directory that yum uses), to make the below
work (giving you more file repositories for "yum install
gstreamer-universe" to find gstreamer-universe packages somewhere).  It
didn't know anything about the extra repos, because the repo files you
downloaded ended up somewhere else (going by what you said in your
post).
