### How do I play video files?
|
||||
|
||||
If you're having trouble playing a video file in a qube, you're probably
|
||||
missing the required codecs. The easiest way to resolve this is to install VLC
|
||||
Media Player and use that to play your video files. You can do this in multiple
|
||||
different TemplateVM distros (Fedora, Debian, etc.), but for simplicity, we'll
|
||||
assume you're using Fedora:
|
||||
|
||||
1. (Recommended) Clone an existing Fedora TemplateVM.
|
||||
2. [Enable the appropriate RPMFusion repos in the desired Fedora TemplateVM.](/doc/software-update-vm/#rpmfusion-for-a-fedora-templatevm)
|
||||
3. Install VLC in that TemplateVM:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dnf install vlc
|
||||
|
||||
4. Use VLC to play your video files.
