Set up easy urpmi, trying to install Mplayer from command line, now I get this error.
 

Trying to install Mplayer from easy urpmi sources below and i get these errors. Why is this and how do I fix it? I am trying to install from easy urpmi to get the latest version of Mplayer so that I can get the Mozilla embedded media thing sqaured away. I just recently reinstalled linux due to the fact that I couldn't get into my webct class to do a test on time so now I am back at t he drawing board just trying to do everything righ this time. Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated. This has happened twice already. I tried to change the easy urpmi sources again and I still get this error. Someone on here said that installing Mplayer this way is the best way because you get all the latest codecs and such all from easy urpmi.


[root]# urpmi mplayer

You may want to update your urpmi database

Forgot to mention, everytime I install Mplayer from source, it never works for me. The only time installing Mplayer works for me is when I install it from my Mandrake cd's. But doing it that way installs an old version which doen't play online embedded video (which is what i want).

I think I solved my problems. What I did was copy and paste each thing it said it needed into google and it took me to rpmsearch.com and I downloaded and installed each peice individually and I installed the Mplayer one last. Now i'm going to try to install mplayerplugin to see if I can get the codecs right. Will be back in a moment...

Okay, I sucessfully installed the mplayerplugin file and tested it with some movie trailers. It works. I get a screen that says mplayerplugin loadin yada yada then the video plays. Okay, previous to installing the mplayer, I was under the impression from some other threads on here that youmust have installed the codecs into /usr/lib/win32 correct? Okay, so I don't have problems in the future, how do I make sure that the mplayer and mplayerplugin is looking to that directory for codecs? Also, how can I get an icon on the desktop for mplayer? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

BTW-- I used RPM Seacrh.com to find all my stuff for mplayer because I kept getting errors when trying to install it from urpmi on the command line after setting up easy urpmi.

Good Job,when there is a will there is a way!
What would we do without google?
