Playing Media Files in Red Hat 9.1
 

Hi guys,

Can anyone please help me in playing media files in Red hat Linux 9.1.

I have installed the full installation of Red hat linux 9.1.
I dont have any additional cd's other than the 3 installation cd's.


Please give me the links to all the download files that i will need including the dependency files too.
It would be really helpful if u could tell me how to install them , as i am a total newbie to Linux.

Any type of help will be greatly appreciated.....


Thanx

You have got to be kidding, right????

Red Hat Linux 9 is old, Red Hat quit supporting it well over two years ago and Fedora Legacy will stop all support on October 1, 2006.

Since you want a link, here you go; http://www.fedoralegacy.org/
Learn howto use apt and/or yum and at least being this basically dead OS current. It would be better for you to use something a bit more modern and supported, if you want to stay with the Red Hat family check out Fedora Core, CentOS or Scientific Linux. Both CentOS and Scientific Linux are binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Fedora Core 5 (the current release) is like Red Hat Linux 14 and is free, version 6 will be out shortly.


FYI: RHEL 3 is based on Red Hat Linux 9 and RHEL 4 is based on Fedora Core 3 so;

RHEL == CentOS == Scientific Linux and 3.X = 3.X and 4.X = 4.X

hi,
go freshrpms.net and u will find a list of multimedia applications
I think Redhat 9 includes xmms without mp3 support and u can find plugins to support mp3 as well as wma in the site.Apart from it my choice to watch video is xine from the site http://xinehq.de/ or u can easily find rpm package on freshrpms.net for xine.U can also download realplayer from real site if u like
Installing by rpm is very easy when comparing with compiling from the source code

Lenard is right
 

hi,
i forget, thanks to lenard
why cant u switch to fedora so that u can use yum to install packages which resolves dependencies by itself.
