I followed the link and I was intrigued by the one comment.

We are working on this problem, but due to relying on some proprietary 
3rd party software we are a bit stuck atm, but we will update the 
plugins with a fix for this as soon as possible,

Isn't this the issue that keeps coming up?  Closed source issues causing 
headaches.  Now if I remember correctly, anything closed source was not 
being supported by Fedora if you submitted a bug report.  Example, 
Nvidia drivers.

But into the Codina issue.  I want codecs for the applications that I 
use and those are VLC and mplayer/mencoder.  So Codecs that are for any 
and all applications on my system that I want to install.
