Ok Michael, I can see you don't like this.

however, in a couple of very simple steps, this gives me a very usable 
multimedia system on my default fedora workstation without having to 
install any additional repos. which for me is awesome.

and I can confirm all I had to do was download and extract .so files 
from the following 2 rpms:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/22/Everything/x86_64/os/repoview/gstreamer1-libav.html
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/22/Everything/x86_64/os/repoview/gstreamer-plugins-ugly.html

really that simple, no dealing with runtime linker search paths, 
additional rpm dependencies  or anything like that.

ok I admit, in the long run, maybe it is planless, however this is not 
intended as a complete solution intended to work forever, it will get 
you up and running now and will probably keep working in the future but 
as listed above it is not a repo sysyem with dnf/yum updates and there 
will come a day when dependencies mismatch but... c'est la vie.
