### 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.
