Hi Guys,
I am new bie as well. I dont know much about compiling stuff and running. I had trouble installing MPlayer on SuSE before. But I found the way by which one can install MPlayer 9.2 very easily.
The steps are listed on link:
http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/in...opic=7482&st=0
The steps are below:
(1) Open the control center -> YaST modules -> Software -> Change Source of Installation
(2) Click Add
(3) Select http
Put packman.iu-bremen.de in the site field
Put suse/9.2 in the path field.
(4) Close it.
(5) Open "Install and Remove Software" from same place.
(6) Search of "mplayer". You will see "MPlayer" and "mplayerplug-in". Install both. You might need "CD1" (If you install from CD or may be DVD) for that. It will finish smoothly.
(7) Now go to control center -> KDE Components -> File Associations and look for "video" catagory in file extensions. There are bunch of stuff inside video. We have to make "MPlayer" as default program for types in which "MPlayer" appears. So click on any type and see the "Application Preference Order" on right side. If "MPlayer" is there, then make it top most by selecting it and click "Move up".
(8) Close the control center and logout and login. (No need to do logout-login but I play at safe side)
(9) Open firefox or any browser and try to play video files. It should play inside it. At very first I played trailers from Apple which are in quicktime format.
(10) Enjoy.
This thing works on mine very smoothly. Thanks to the guy who did this RPM. Also thanks to that forum on which I found answer. I think it should also work for 9.1 if you put "suse/9.1" in step 3. I havent tried yet.
You might consider removing old files for "MPlayer" if any. ( I mean you try to compile, make and it didnt go well ).

Dhaval
