installing mplayer in fedora 10

[sayanmaji]

can anyone give me the link of mplayer for fedora 10 and the procedure to install it ( preferably without internet connection) !!!!!!!!!!!

[Team Leader]

extract the mplayer source to desired path say /usr/local/mplayer
extract the mplayer codecs to desired path say /usr/local/lib/codecs
now go to /usr/local/mplayer and type the following command

./configure --enable-gui --with-CODECSDIR=/usr/local/lib/codecs

if it configures with out any error
type

make

and then

make install

by default mplayer has no skins you have to load the skin in to the skin dir

extract a skin and put it in one of the following path.

/home/username/.mplayer/skin
/usr/share/mplayer/skin/

in
/home/username/.mplayer/

there will be a file named "config".

open that and type the following.

GUI=yes

and save it

now press META-F2
and type

mplayer or gmplayer

mplayer opens and you can watch movies on linux.

Hey you can try to install RPM Fusion, Repository protection on your system and then try to used Yellowdog Update Manager to install MPlayer on fedora 10. Then used to the following command to run installation process after getting and configuring RPM Fusion on your fedora 10.

su -
<password>
yum -y install mplayer-gui
<download ensues, but no version displayed>
exit

You can easily install mplayer using yum, as root

type:

yum install mplayer

• The mplayers codes default directory must be -

  /usr/local/lib/codecs

• To install first decompress the setup file for eg :

• [mymachine@username mm]# bzip2 -cd MPlayer-1.0rc2.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

• [mymachine@username mm]# cd MPlayer-1.0rc2/

• The following tag are used to see all the configuration settings :

• [PHP][mymachine@username MPlayer-1.0rc2]# ./configure --enable-gui --enable-largefiles \
  --enable-menu --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer

• Properly configure it as per your requirement. Then for the further process you will need to compile the setting with mplayer. To do so add the below codes.

• [mymachine@username MPlayer-1.0rc2]# su -c 'make install'

Now mplayer is installed in your system.
To download the mplayer click on the link below :
mplayer
mplayer 0.5

Recommend to use RPMFusion.org's MPLayer package with the codecs found at http://www.mplayerhq.hu.

First, install RPM Fusion's free and nonfree YUM repositories. For detailed information about installing RPM Fusion, see: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

su -c "rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm"

su -c "rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm"

Next, install MPlayer from RPMFusion.org.

su -c "yum install mplayer gnome-mplayer gnome-mplayer-common mencoder"

Now, visit the MPlayer Codecs Directory and download the latest 'All' tarball.

wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/rele...071007.tar.bz2

Next, prepare the codecs folder. MPlayer from RPMFusion.org will use /usr/lib/codecs.

su -c "mkdir -p /usr/lib/codecs"

Other media players like Xine and avifile might use /usr/lib/win32, so create a symlink.

su -c "ln -s /usr/lib/codecs /usr/lib/win32"
ls -l /usr/lib/win32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2008-05-24 08:02 /usr/lib/win32 -> /usr/lib/codecs

Finally, extract the contents of the tarball and copy all files to /usr/lib/codecs.

tar -xjvf all-20071007.tar.bz2
su -c "cp -a all-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs/"

See the MPlayer(1) man page for /usr/bin/mplayer usage.

man 1 mplayer
