MPlayer

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. See Restricted formats.
Installation
This will require a live internet connection, and some quality time in the Terminal Activity.
- become root:
su -l - import the Livna public key:
# rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY - install the Livna repository package. There are different versions for Release notes/8.2.0 and earlier OLPC software releases (see What release am I running?):
# rpm -i http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm(for 8.2.0)# rpm -i http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm(for earlier releases)
- 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-4.1.1-3.fc7 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 |

## 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.
