Wanting to listen to magnatune.com while I worked, I discovered that flash is not working. It appears that I don't have libflashplayer, but yum tells me that no such package is available. I must need a different repo, I think, but what? Currently I have
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ adobe-linux-i386.repo epel-testing.repo CentOS-Base.repo kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo CentOS-Media.repo mirrors-rpmforge epel.repo rpmforge.repo
I suspect that c5-media repo is discontinued. I've seen no error messages apart from 'No package libflashplayer available.' In theory I have installed the adobe flash-player, but apparently not. I'm stuck. Any help, please?

Personally I go here
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
get the YUM for linux package install it then
yum install flash-player
then all my flash needs are met.

I was neither judgemental nor rude - instead of being left alone as with Windows and OS X there actually are tools to help you further in Linux.

Well, what else then guessing should I do when you do not give out any information at all (like what you already did, what yum gave you when searching for it and so on).

I asked a simple question. If you didn't know the answer you should not have replied. Fortunately there are others more helpful than you.

Oh well - I still don't know the answer except that you did something wrong and then did something else and then something somehow worked.
I was trying to show you where you can go fishing, when hungry.

Well just in case you ever try to help someone with such a problem, what I did wrong was
1) first try to install a package name given by googling, which turned out to be wrong
2) when I had found the correct one by yum search (yes, I had done that) I tried to install it along with three swfdec-related packages. The install failed with a list of dependencies that could not be resolved. Searching the repos for those dependencies did not yield gold, and pbone couldn't find them either.
The moral is, install one package at a time if a group fails. I really should have seen that the dependencies were all for the swfdec packages, not for the flash plugin, but I was so busy trying to find them that I missed it.

NP :-) It's just unfortunate that the googling led me to a link which gave the wrong information. Once you start down a bad road things just go from bad to worse. Anyway, it's working now. Thanks for trying to help.

rpmforge has the flash plugin, but there's also a repository available from adobe itself, which offers that.
I suspect that c5-media repo is discontinued.
The centos-media repo is not what you think it is - look inside the .repo file :)
I've seen no error messages apart from 'No package libflashplayer available.' In theory I have installed the adobe flash-player, but apparently not.
What makes you think that the package is called libflashplayer? Have you searched with yum?

Googling for CentOS+flash
Have you searched with yum?
Yes, I did, after which I attempted to install flash-plugin mozilla-swfdec swfdec swftools - the packages listed that appeared to be relevant. It failed with various dependencies, which I could not resolve, which is why I thought I must be missing a repo. However, I have just managed to install flash-plugin by itself. It seems I was distracted by all the dependencies which must have been for swfdec.

Well, I'll relate what I know. I checked out the website, selected 'Jazz', play hi-fi, and it worked. I didn't use the m3u feature.
I checked Firefox's Add-ons; under Plugins, I have Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22. Just to really check it out, I clicked 'Disable', and the music stopped.
[mykolas@sr1220 ~]$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ adobe-linux-i386.repo CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Media.repo mirrors-rpmforge rpmforge.repo
Also, I did the multimedia thing - http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS

I didn't have any suitable plugin. I realised that, but google gave me the wrong name of the package, which is why I failed. Although it doesn't explain why the adobe repo failed to install their flashplayer.

I hadn't seen that particular page. I've bookmarked it for the future, thanks. This box normally just acts as a file/print/mail server - I don't normally do desktop-type things on it. It's been running CentOS for around 2 years and this is the first time I've tried to use it in this way.
Thanks for answering

The package name is 'flash-plugin' -- it comes from Adobe, and you appear to have Adobe's repo (adobe-linux-i386.repo). Try:
yum install flash-plugin
