Post by x2oxen »

You need to download its codecs as well and put it into codec's dir and then try to run. It will work..

if you using fedore just do

Code: Select all

yum -y install mplayer mplayer-gui mplayer-codecs

Wrong command, correct command is as follows:

# yum -y install mplayer mplayer-gui mplayer-codecs
