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.
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).

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.

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?
