I install Mplayer Current Version: 1.0pre5
The installed Mplayer works very well with video, dvd, mp3, mp4, wmv, wma etc. But here is a list of problems I'm facing:
1. Can not using it's Gui. (At command line, type gmplayer, > command not found)
Wich rpm I must install much more to be able to use GUI?
2. I installed mplayer by instructed command (one line):
rpm -Uvh mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm mplayer-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm
But when I wanted to uninstall it I use this commands:
rpm -e mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm
rpm -e mplayer-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm
rpm -e mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm mplayer-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm
But the answer for all above commands is :
Failed dependencies, mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm is needed by mplayer-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm
or:
Failed dependencies, mplayer-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm is needed by mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm
How can I unistall mplayer?
3. I heared that mplayer can play music cd by command cdda ... Could anyone give me the exact command?
thanks in advanced.

Read a bit further on the Mplayer web site, you have to download a skin. Also, when you ./configure, you have to give an option to enable GUI. ./configure --help should give you a list.

man rpm, try using rpm -e --nodeps packagkename

First of all, I would just compile from source instead of using the RPM's...in my opinion, the rpm's are more trouble than compiling.

download all the extra codecs you want and make a directory /usr/local/lib/codecs and shove them all in there, then just:

./configure --enable-gui
make
su
make install

download a skin and the arial font. place the skin in a folder labeled "default" (my skin was in /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skins/default) and put the font in font folder (mine was in /usr/local/share/mplayer/font).

then just type gmplayer and it should work.

Isn't it obvious? mplayer-gui rpm and at least one skin rpm. See:
http://greysector.rangers.eu.org/mpl...-optional.html

Did you ever read rpm's manpage? Why does everyone think that they can only supply one package (file)name for each rpm command? Hint: just as you installed them both at once, you can uninstall them the same way. Oh, and a package file is not the same as a package. You install rpm files but you uninstall packages (by name), for example rpm -e mplayer mplayer-common. See man rpm. Really.

Could you by any chance stop being lazy and Read The F...ine Documentation?
Here, I'll even give you a link: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html

Rathann - we here at LQ try to present a professional and, at the same time, friendly front. Your final comments are unwarranted, unhelpful and unneeded. In future, I ask you to not post comments such as this - if the post offends you, move on and DO NOT REPLY. Let's make this your first and final warning, eh?

My apologies. It won't happen again.

Another option is to get Kplayer. It is a decent front-end for Mplayer.
