meego play rmvb avi mp4 medio file

My notebook is Asus EeePC 1001px, with meego v1.1
If you can not play the Big_Buck_Bunny.ogv.

Check whether your notebook's hardware graphic acceleration is enabled:
glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
My EeePC output is: "/OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) IGD GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2/ ".
If your output is: "/OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer/", that means acceleration is not fully enabled, your graphics driver might not be capable. Maybe this is the reason that why your notebook can't play video.

For mp3,mp4,avi,rmvb and so on in meego, there's no non-free codecs gstreamer packages form Meego Official site. You can try this command to see the gstreamer related packages.
zypper se gst
In my notebook, there is only gst-plugins-bad-free, but no gst-plugins-bad. We downloaded the gstremer source from Gstreamer Official Website, built and installed to Our EeePC. Then I played non-free types quite smoothly.
