Copy the same to /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ & rename to key name as shown in error.[Need root privilege to copy files]
In case you are installing i386, please rename the file name accordingly.
If fedora 18 beta installed, then install ‘gstreamer1’ is required instead of gstreamer. So search & install gstreamer1 codec
sudo yum install gstreamer1 gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-ugly
Same step, but install following for fedora 17 :
sudo yum install gstreamer gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg libdvdread libdvdnav lsdvd
Alternatively, you can also install and use vlc or smplayer to view mkv videos–both can decode H.264
sudo yum install vlc
sudo yum install smplayer
Note: The new totem 3.6 uses gstreamer 1.0 & there is no gstreamer1-ffmpeg package in repository. So you have to use vlc or smplayer till package comes.
Update : Install gstreamer1-libav for ffmpeg packages.
