Does anyone know how to go about this (I don't mind doing a source compilation, just as long as I now which version to grab and how to get it properly installed)?
I'd add dag, dries and atrpms to your /etc/yum.conf , then yum install mplayer* gxine
With Mplyaer and gxine you will also need to go to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html and get the necessary codecs.
User them both for awhile, and pick the one you like best.
More detailed instructions are below.
1. Edit /etc/yum.conf by adding:
[dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
[dries] name=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el4/en/i386/dries/RPM... enabled=1
[atrpms] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el4-i386/atrpms/stable enabled=0
2. Go to their homepages to import GPG keys or set gpgcheck=1.
3. GEt the codec package and follow the instructions in the README. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html
4, yum install mplayer* gxine
