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.?
It is funny that on two computers that I installed this weekend, both had the same problem with mplayer. Even from cli. Videos play in xine.
I don't know it is a codec issue of a configuration issue. One thing I did note is that the all-*.* codec file requires a chmod 755 to the final directory. It seemed to fix the issue on one computer but I haven't had a chance to try it on the other computer yet.
