Yeah I saw a thread earlier with WINE running WinAmp3 and now I am working on getting that running.. yet it is: in the morning, and I am really tired, and I have already lost all I ever had.. I am talking about my mind BTW! HAHA!

Freakygeek55:

Regarding circular rpm dependencies: install them using one rpm command, e.g.:

rpm -ivh package_a.rpm package_b.rpm

You can override dependencies using the --nodeps options:

rpm -ivh --nodeps package_a.rpm
rpm -ivh --nodeps package_b.rpm

Use the --nodeps method with caution.

I installed Mplayer Fonts with out dependencies. Yet it stil wants it...

rpm -vih mplayer-0.90-4.20030808.fr.i386.rpm
warning: mplayer-0.90-4.20030808.fr.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b
error: Failed dependencies:
lirc is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.20030808.fr
mplayer-fonts is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.20030808.fr

and still I have that lirc install issue..

rpm -vih lirc-0.6.6-fr1.i386.rpm
warning: lirc-0.6.6-fr1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b

file /usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0.0.0 from install of lirc-0.6.6-fr1 conflicts with file from package liblirc0-0.6.6-1mdk

Try: rpm -ivh --no-deps mplayer-0.90-4.20030808.fr.i386.rpm

The --no-deps bit is the "no dependencies" part

Freakygeek55, we'd thank you for keeping your questions in a single place, since posting this we have fixed your problems elsewhere, yet people are still trying to help you here, and so wasting their time. please ask a question once only. thanks.

I am very sorry for doing that, next time I will not ask the same question in two different places.. and yes the problem is fixed, and Mplayer is installed..

I've been toiling with the ogle package. I downloaded everything necessary to install it (libdvdcss 1.2.8-1, libdvdread 0.9.4, ogle 0.9.1, and ogle_gui 0.9.1), and all of the rpm's installed successfully. For some reason, when i type 'ogle' at the command line and hit enter, all the command line returns is that its an unknown command. I've been reading forum after forum and still can get it to work.

I would have used ogle.. but I found mplayer first..

Just my

I use MPlayer because there is no bull$#!t with DVD navigation. I tell it the title I want to play, the language I want to hear it in, the subtitles I want, and it plays it. In my opinion MPlayer is a hell of a lot better than the others, especially that damn PowerDVD (on my dad's windoz box).

I would love MPlayer if I really knew how to use it.. PowerDVD I have on windows, because it is really easy to use..

PowerDVD is counterintuitive, especially on keyboard commands. MPlayer's *default* keys make much more sense than PowerDVD. <- and -> to seek. up and down to seek more. space to pause. Not only that, but if you don't like them, edit ~/.mplayer/input.conf and change them.

I did get my mplayer to work for me today.. so I am very happy.. I am about to watch Oceans 11 on DVD with my Mplayer..
