How to install MPlayer in Fedora Core

Before Mplayer-gui installation in Fedora Core and you'll have to add RPM Fusion repositories. After that, Yum'll resolve all dependencies and MPlayer'll be installed in a minute.

How to add RPM Fusion repositories? View Plain # Add RPM Fusion repository with the rpm command RPM-UVH Http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusi on-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm RPM-UVH http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/ rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

If you are have proxy problems, please use the--httpproxy switch in rpm command. If you are still have problems, can manually download free and nonfree repositories and then install to the local D Irectory:view Plain RPM-UVH rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

RPM-UVH rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Detailed information about configuring RPM Fusion repositories can is found at Http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration page. Finally, Fedora Core is ready for Mplayer-gui, xine or VLC installation. View plain yum install Mplayer-gui yum install xine yum install VLC

Yum install Mplayer-gui
yum install xine yum install VLC

and small issue before the end. Instead of playing AVI, MPlayer gave me the following message:

Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-VO) device

The solution is to change output video device into Mplayer-gui to XV, GL, ... (Depends on your video hardware but at General, XV should work): View plain Mplayer-gui-> Preferences ; xv

Mplayer-gui-> Preferences-> video-> XV

cheers!

I am generally installed SMPlayer, is the front end of MPlayer, much better than Mplayer-gui
Yum install SMPlayer
