Installing mplayer help
How do i install mplayer, when i try it says:
rpm -ivh mplayer-common-1.0pre2-1.i386.rpm warning: mplayer-common-1.0pre2-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 28a26067 error: Failed dependencies: mplayer = 1.0pre2 is needed by mplayer-common-1.0pre2-1 |
I had a look at the rpm install - grab all the rpms and install with:
rpm -ivh mplayer-package1.rpm package2.rpm, etc - basically install all the base rpms with one long command. |
im not sure i understand...
|
You need the mplayer rpm and the mplayer-common rpm (and I'm working from memory here). So, in a console type:
rpm -ivh mplayer-1.0pre2.i386.rpm mplayer-common-1.0pre2-1.i386.rpm or whatever the package names are. This will resolve any dependency problems where 1 mplayer rpm needs another as they install together. |
you need two filse there, mplayer-1.0pre2 and mplayer-common-1.0pre2, so install them together and it won't complain
|
rpm -ivh mplayer-1.0pre2-1.i386.rpm mplayer-common-1.0pre2-1.i386.rpm
warning: mplayer-1.0pre2-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 28a26067 Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:mplayer-common ########################################### [ 50%] 2:mplayer ########################################### [100%] ok i did that, im not sure i know what to do now. |
type in either mplayer or gmplayer in a console.
You will also need the codecs rpms (to allow .mov, .ram, etc files to be run) and whatever other font and skins rpms there are. |
any clue about the gui?
|
gmplayer will give you the gui - as long as you have installed fonts and skins.
|
where do i install the skins?
