To install MPlayer on an XO with [[13.2.8]], into Terminal type;
It is possible to install Mplayer on the XO, without any recompiling. The process is still long and convoluted, and will load in a large group of dependencies. As always, MPlayer, or anything functional, may not respect the wacky patent laws of your jurisdiction; make things work at your own risk. This will require a live internet connection, and some quality time with the terminal activity.


sudo yum localinstall -y \
First start with installing the [http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm livna repository] package, download it and install with "rpm -i".

sudo yum install -y mplayer

Next, you can do a "yum update" or "yum upgrade", whichever gets the latest package list.

Now, try to "yum install mplayer". It won't work, but it will tell you what dependencies are missing.


[http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/5528126/com/libdvdnav-4.1.1-2.fc7.i386.rpm.html libdvdnav-4] lives outside any known repository. Download (wget, click) it manually and again use "rpm -i".

Redo "yum install mplayer", and now it should work. It's not sugarified, but the sugar GUI still gets along with a placeholder icon in the running app ring.

Mplayer's default settings need a little modification.. ''fill in later''
