I've googled this a couple of times, but can't seem to find a straight answer on this problem. I installed the rpmfusion repos both with the GUI and from the CLI and I get this same problem, 'Cannot find valid baseurl'.
Any ideas?

You downloaded the appropriate RPMs from here?
In my .repo files the base URL is commented out and instead depends onthe mirror lists from http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org

Yes, downloaded straight from the source. And the .repo config is exactly as you say. Still get the error. I uncommented the baseurl and it worked just fine. Wierd. I have a F16 box right next to it, with the identical configuration (granted it's F16, not 17) and it's never had that problem.

The following is my recommendation for installing RPMs not available in your currently available repositories.
I downloaded the 2 setup RPMs from the RPMFusion website, then using createrepo I created my own repository, and the required yum config file in /etc/yum.repos.d, (root privileges required)
local.repo
[MyRepo] name=Local repo Fedora upgrade $releasever baseurl=file:/home/user/MyRepo/RPMs$releasever/ enabled=0 gpgcheck=0
The above configures the local repository for Fedora 17 should be in directory
/home/user/MyRep/RPMs17
Then using yumex, enabling the local repo I selected the RPMFusion config RPMs for installation, and then apply. You will then find an updated RPMFusion config RPM that needs to be updated. After that RPMFusion should be up and working.
Best of luck

I then find it puzzling that you're having problems, the method I outlined worked for me on both Fedora 16 and Fedora 17. Apparently there is something different with your method, and it causes you a problem for reasons I don't know, so perhaps trying a different method can't do any harm surely.

i find it puzzling that you believe i have problems how comes? my systems are working since many years on many many fedora setups and a local repo was never a solution for anything

knowing how yum and rpm is working is enough to qualify snakeoil like a local repo to solve "no valid baseurl" for a remote repo as useless

Well that doesn't mean it never will be, does it? I use a shared local repo on my LAN so I can update multiple machines without downloading the same RPMs multiple times.

You do have a problem, an invalid url in a yum configuration for RPMFusion when trying to configure using the supplied setup RPM
so perhaps trying a different method can't do any harm surely
knowing how yum and rpm is working is enough to qualify snakeoil like a local repo to solve "no valid baseurl" for a remote repo as useless
How does a local repo qualify has snakeoil? You appear to be quick to dismiss it for what I consider very flimsy reasoning that in reality amounts to your preferred methods.
From what I can gather that failed url came about by using yum and the
RPM supplied by RPMFusion
Well I have had no url problem by using the RPMFusion supplied for Fedora 16/17 x64 configuration RPM and you have. It also appears that this does not appear to be a problem for the vast majority of users. So what harm is there in trying a different approach?
It is certainly possible the RPM you downloaded has been corrupted, and if it was a problem from RPMFusion I think many more people would be having your url problem.
If all else fails RPMFusion provides links to their repositories, as well as the required urls so you could set them up manually.
Well, all the best, and I hope you resolve the problem, and better still discover what caused it.

I make no apologies for trying to help, but it appears to be a futile experience in this case. You are entitled to your opinion, as you are entirely convinced that you have made yourself clear, well if that was so, how come I have misunderstood the purpose of your post? More to the point you make a post, apparently already knowing the answer, which does seem rather pointless to me. But given we appear to talking at cross purposes I doubt you will agree, or perhaps even understand.

i only corrected your technically useless advise download the rpmfusion packages, put them in a folder, call createrepo and create a local repo to this folder because it is completly useless since it will not make any difference to install them via "yum install", "yum localinstall" or "rpm -Uvh" or even "rpm -Uvh --force http://rpmfusion..."

This is futile, I'm no longer interested in understanding your position, whatever it maybe. We clearly misunderstood each other and that should be the end of it. Further talking at cross purposes achieves nothing, so I no longer wish to continue doing so.

It might on the other hand be worthwhile to see and understand your own position. You are the one thinking Reindl has a problem, while in fact he does not, something he even points out by telling he is not the OP. I am not meaning you should stop advising, but when doing so, do try to keep track of who was actually having problems.
Reindl's question why one would prefer a localrepo, instead of a localinstall was a quite valid one. Which you do not go into. That I think exactly like Reindl in this case that this would have no benefit whatsoever, is what makes me (and probably Reindl too) interested in the answer to that question. Because if there is a benefit, we would like to hear it, so we can improve our own knowledge.
So the question was not about bashing, or whatever, but an interest in what might be the added value of a local repository versus simple local packages for a one-shot install.
So, please, if you see that benefit, enlighten me, as I would really like to learn it, if there is one. (And note: we are talking about a one time install on one machine, nothing needed to distribute among many.)
