It is possible to install MPlayer on the XO, without any recompiling. The process is relatively tedious, and will require loading in a large group of dependencies.

Note that MPlayer, or anything functional, may not respect the patent laws of your jurisdiction; make things work at your own risk.

Installation

This will require a live internet connection, and some quality time with the terminal activity.

  • import the Livna public key: # rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
  • install the Livna repository package: # rpm -i http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm
  • perform an update of the package database: # yum update
  • [optional / obsolete] if you try to install MPlayer: # yum install mplayer - it won't work, but it will list the missing dependencies
  • the required libdvdnav-4 lives outside any known repository - select a mirror and install the repository package: # rpm --nodeps -i [mirror URL]
    (e.g. (link broken) # rpm --nodeps -i http://ftp.belnet.be/pub/mirror/Mandrakelinux/current/i586/media/main/backports/libdvdnav4-4.1.1-0.956.2mdv2008.0.i586.rpm)
  • install MPlayer: # yum install mplayer
  • [optional] install MPlayer GUI: # yum install mplayer-gui

The interface not "Sugar-ified", but the Sugar GUI will simply use a placeholder icon in the running app ring.

Configuration

MPlayer's default settings need a little modification. Modify or create the files as listed below:

 File: ~/.mplayer/config
# cache to help with slower flash drives
cache=1024

# fullscreen mode
fs=yes

Note: The window manager will always give fullscreen, but the MPlayer setting ensures using the right aspect ratio.

 File: ~/.mplayer/input.conf

## MPlayer input control file

## You are able to redefine default keyboard/joystick/mouse/LIRC bindings, or
## add new ones here.
## See DOCS/tech/slave.txt for possible commands that can be bound.
## Also see mplayer -input cmdlist for other possible options.
## The file should be placed in the $HOME/.mplayer directory.
