Can't watch MP4 videos in Fedora 26

I'm having a problem trying to watch MP4 videos in Fedora 26.

After I installed the gstreamer packages from rpmfusion, I get the following error:

Error: nothing provides libvpx.so.4()(64bit) needed by ffmpeg-libs-3.1.4-2.fc26.x86_64

I tried to install libvpx but it's already installed as package libvpx-1.5.0-4.fc24.x86_64 that is being referenced by other programs.

Is it possible to upgrade that package without uninstalling the programs that reference it?

Fedora 26 is not released and therefore there are not build third party codecs and similar. Use some of the released versions (and supported) to get full features. – Jakuje – 2016-10-16T18:36:02.977

I realize now that it should be the problem since you now comment this. I'm going to search for a media player that has built in the codecs needed. Thanks!! – Juan Pablo Orradre – 2016-10-18T12:49:44.760

Which OP system do you use, Linux ... bits ? Probably you have 32 bits and program is on 64 bits.

libvpx.so.4()(64bit) needed by ffmpeg-libs-3.1.4-2.fc26.x86_64

Install driver for mp4 from player codecs from media player (i know that only windows, but probably also Linux there). I have myself Linux lime and it worked, try another driver for programm and don`t forget your OS compatibility -> 64 runs 32 and 64; 32 runs 32 and 16 (Windows 95 domain).

Another possibility can be that it was not installed correctly, or the OS system was too "pimped" for the program to run correctly. Try reinstalling program --> restart your PC. Your sincere, George Andrew-member since today 10/16/2016
