bolirolorro 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. While you're here, you can also install VLC, the two both have their uses (for example, "vlc -I skins2 *.mp3" gives a tiny floating window to play music).

First start with installing the livna repository package, download it and install with "rpm -i".

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.

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..

In your ~/.mplayer/config put

#A little cache helps with slower flash drives
cache=1024

#the window manager will always give fullscreen, 
#but telling that to mplayer gives the right aspect ratio
fs=yes

And for your ~/.mplayer/input.conf you can put (modified from the /etc/mplayer example, the early KP* bindings are all that really matter)

##
## 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.
