I'm trying to play file.mov file with Sound & Video -> Videos (3.8.2) on my CentOS 7:

$ file file.mov 
Create Meeting using IS Task room.mov: ISO Media, Apple QuickTime movie
$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core) 
$ uname -a
Linux X 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 18:05:33 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ 

When I tried to open file.mov I got following:

Videos requires additional plugins to decode this file

The following plugins are required:

  • MPEG-4 AAC decoder
  • H.264 decoder

Do you want to search for these now?

After searching it returns me with following:

Failed to search for plugin

Could not find plugin in any configured software source

Videos then installed some packages on my system, but video still did not play, here are packages that were installed:

$ sudo tail -3 /var/log/yum.log
Mar 24 16:29:14 Installed: libcrystalhd-3.10.0-4.el7.x86_64
Mar 24 16:29:15 Installed: crystalhd-firmware-3.10.0-4.el7.noarch
Mar 24 16:29:15 Installed: gstreamer-plugin-crystalhd-3.10.0-4.el7.x86_64
$ 

So, I tried it again and now Videos opened up my browser with following URL:

404 Not Found http://www.packagekit.org/pk-package-not-found.html

What else I'm missing in order to play .mov files?
