This article is about using redhat package manager (RPM) to install Mplayer, xmms player, real player etc… on Fedora and redhat.

I hope same techniques can be used for Suse and Mandriva.
For each of the given names of packages below visit www.rpmfind.net (http://rpmfind.net/) or rpmsearch (http://rpm.pbone.net/), and copy and paste the package name.


:frown:Attention!

Indentify your architecture (for pentium, dual core, C2D, athlon XP it’s i386 (x86); for 64-bit it’s x86_64. For example, you have p4, fedora9 and you want xmms, you choose
xmms-1.2.11-1.20071117cvs.1.fc9.i386.rpm (ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/updates/9/i386.newkey/xmms-1.2.11-1.20071117cvs.1.fc9.i386.rpm) note fc9 tag and i386 (if no tag is there, or noarch is there, you can choose for any architecture/fedora version).Package name with FC9 i386 compitable link as example.


1.Mplayer:lol:
mplayer-1.0-0.44.rc2.fc9.i386.rpm (ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/freshrpms/fedora/linux/9/mplayer/mplayer-1.0-0.44.rc2.fc9.i386.rpm)

(ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/Packages/HelixPlayer-1.0.9-2.fc9.i386.rpm)
4.xmms player, for this you need
xmms
xmms-1.2.11-1.20071117cvs.1.fc9.i386.rpm (ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/updates/testing/9/i386.newkey/xmms-1.2.11-1.20071117cvs.1.fc9.i386.rpm)
xmms-mp3
xmms-mp3-1.2.10-16.fc7.i386.rpm (ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/freshrpms/fedora/linux/8/xmms-mp3/xmms-mp3-1.2.10-16.fc7.i386.rpm)
continue with xmms-wma, xmms-skins if necessary xmms-libs
5. Gstreamer-ffmpeg
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.5-1.fc9.i386.rpm (ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/freshrpms/fedora/linux/9/gstreamer-ffmpeg/gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.5-1.fc9.i386.rpm)
for mp3 for gstreamer use fluendo codec (google this to find a downloadable link)
for installing RPM’s, type in command line


su -
passwd:(Enter your pasword here)

rpm -ivh (rpm file) example:
rpm -ivh /home/malshan/HelixPlayer-1.0.9-2.fc9.i386.rpm

if no dependency errors found, now you’ve got program installed. Right clicking on a file on your explorer and saying to open with this program automatically sets that type of file with the program.
enjoy!
If any errors found, please reply.
