I read that for legal reasons some codecs aren’t shipped with Fedora by default, which is fine, but Software isn’t helping me find the correct codec needed to play EAC3 audio codecs.
This is the audio:

I’m getting the error below:
And clicking on Find in Software takes me to this page of a already installed codec group:
My question is, what’s the exact package missing?
This is what I have so far:
