I've been struggling finding all the packages I need for an mplayer install. I think I've gotten most from fresh-meat. I was doing a search and found someone claiming it's as simple as. yum install mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts mplayer. Well, that doeesn't work. Now I'm stuck looking for aalib package. Any guidance appreciated! I'm running FC4
Hi Dean; This question is answered quite well on www.fedorafaq.org Here is the exact link for FC4 - http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc4/ Here is the link for configuring yum - http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc4/#installsoftware Here is the link for installing mplayer - http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc4/#browsermovies - don't forget to install the windows media codecs You have to use the yum setup recommended on www.fedorafaq.org in order for the following instructions to work: Q: How can I watch movies in my web browser? (Updated 7 May 2005) A: Just install the mplayer plug-in: 1. Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question. 2. Open a Terminal. 3. Become root: su - 4. Install the plug-in: yum install mplayerplug-in 5. Close all the windows of your web browser and then open it again. Now, you can see movies on web sites! NOTE: If you install a new version of your web browser you may have to run this process again. You might also want to install the various Windows movie decoders. Note that there may be some legal issues with these decoders. You can install them by: 1. Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question. 2. Open a Terminal. 3. Become root: su - 4. Install the package of decoders: yum --enablerepo=atrpms install w32codec (Thanks to Sindre for writing the original text for this question, and suggesting the w32codec part.) I hope this helps.
