if you have yum and have set up the repos properly with root privileges type
Code:

yum install mplayer
yum will sort out dependencies for you.
are you sure mplayer isn't on your system anyway? it comes with the distro
also in general for rpm packages the name of the rpm is of the form
name-version-distro-architechture.
