Installing mplayer on Fedora Core 2

NOTE: if you read the tutorial and are still experiencing difficulties and would like help, you are asked to start a new topic on the forums. Please do NOT reply to this thread to ask a technical question. Replies to THIS thread should be corrections and enhancements on the tutorial/howto only. Thanks in advance for your co-operation. LinuxForums.org ------------------------------------------ This proved the easiest method for me: [1] Go to http://greysector.rangers.eu.org/mpl...-optional.html and download the following three RPMs: - mplayer-gui - mplayer-codecs-essential - mplayer-skin-default [2] Place them in their own directory (eg. "mplayer") [3] cd to that directory and enter this command: # rpm -Uvh *.rpm [4] This will install all three packages (mplayer with all the essential codecs and the default skin) ENJOY!
