So I went and installed:
mplayer-1.0.0-0.20050916.1.fc4.ut
mplayer-libs-1.0.0-0.20050916.1.fc4.ut
And this is what happened. When I opened a movie trailer I got by
e-mail I got the sound but not the picture.
Then I went to www.css.com and tried to play their video. An error
message that it could not find Windows media player.
So what do I do now.?
are the libs the same as the codecs? if not, you need to install
those - I've got it working and never installed any libs to my
knowledge, though they may have been installed as dependencies.
Codecs are available at mplayer's site. You need to get the 'all'
package and put them in /usr/lib/win32

I am still confused. I downloaded all-20050412.tar which is supposed
to have the codecs. Untared this and put the files contained in
all-20050412 directory in /usr/lib/win32
From www.cnn.com it still asks me for the Windows media player. Where
have I gone wrong?
This is not a codec problem, You need to have the mplayerplug-in
installed. Probably from dag or livna repositories.
Here is what I have installed, mplayerplug-in-2.80-13.1.fc3.rf

mplayerplug-in-3.05-1.fc4 is available and is much better, at least for FC4
also I had a lot of trouble with codecs until I discovered that mplayer
looked for them in /usr/local/lib/win32 (note the local subdir)
Good luck!
