Hi All, I am having a terrible time installing multi media tools like smplayer (which requires mplayer), which is not avaiable from the centos repos. I have installed epel.repo which containa the epel-release repo info for yum Still I cannot install many things. For example, I ran for i in faad2-libs liba52.so.0 libaa.so.1 libartsc.so.0 libass.so.4 libaudio.so.2 libavcodec.so.53 libavcodec.so.53 libavformat.so.53 libavformat.so.53 libavutil.so.51 libavutil.so.51 libBasicUsageEnvironment.so.0 libbluray.so.0 libbs2b.so.0 libcaca.so.0 libcdio_cdda.so.0 libcdio_cdda.so.0 libcdio_paranoia.so.0 libcdio_paranoia.so.0 libcdio.so.10 libdca.so.0 libdirac_decoder.so.0 libdirac_encoder.so.0 libdirectfb-1.7.so.4 libenca.so.0 libesd.so.0 libfaac.so.0 libfaad.so.2 libgroupsock.so.0 libjack.so.0 liblirc_client.so.0 libliveMedia.so.0 libmad.so.0 libmp3lame.so.0 libmpeg2.so.0 libmpg123.so.0 libnemesi.so.1 libopenal.so.1 libopencore-amrnb.so.0 libopencore-amrwb.so.0 libportaudio.so.2 libpostproc.so.52 libpostproc.so.52 librtmp.so.0 libschroedinger-1.0.so.0 libswscale.so.2 libswscale.so.2 libtwolame.so.0 libUsageEnvironment.so.0 libvga.so.1 libx264.so.120 libx264.so.142 libxmms.so.1 libxvidcore.so.4 mencoder mplayer-fonts mplayer-skins ; do
yum provides $i done
It found no match for any of these which required for installing: yum install mplayer-common-1.1-33.20150505svn.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm mplayer-1.2-92_snap20130920.el7.x86_64.rpm mplayer-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mplayer-tools-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mplayer-common-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mplayer-doc-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mplayer-gui-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mpg123-1.13.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mencoder-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mpg123-plugins-extras-1.13.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mpg123-plugins-jack-1.13.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mpg123-plugins-pulseaudio-1.13.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm 2>&1 | grep -i requires > /tmp/mplayer
So, please, if you have safe and reliable repos for linux MM tools, please share.

Have you also installed the nux repo? If not, then that's your problem. If so, check to insure that the nux repo is enabled.

Thank you , No I did not know about it. I am a new centos user, and need to get familiar with all the repos that do not come with the EVERYTHING dvd iso.
I installed the nux repo just now. I ran
yum -y install mplayer-common-1.1-33.20150505svn.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm mplayer-1.2-92_snap20130920.el7.x86_64.rpm mplayer-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mplayer-tools- 1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mplayer-common-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mplayer-doc-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mplayer-gui-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mpg123-1.13.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mencoder-1.0-0.140.20120205svn.el6.1.x86_64.rpm mpg123-plugins-extras-1.13.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mpg123-plugins-jack-1.13.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mpg123-plugins-pulseaudio-1.13.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
and it hangs :(

This is insane, just do: yum install smplayer
The insane thing is that not all the repos are NOT installed in /etc/yum.repo.d when centos is installed. Don't you think I tried to yum install it??? Yum returned with something like no match found.... What repos do you have on your system?
Kind regards,
JD

smplayer is provided by nux-dextop. You'll also want EPEL enabled.

One of the enabled repos is centos-media.repo It fails:
file:///media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml" Trying other mirror. file:///media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml" Trying other mirror. file:///media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml" Trying other mirror.
One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 - Media), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable c7-media
4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=c7-media.skip_if_unavailable=true
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from c7-media: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. file:///media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml" file:///media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml" file:///media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml"
Does anyone have it working?

If you have the DVD repo enabled, and don't provide it with the DVD, it will fail. I'd disable that repo, as it suggests, and just use the network repos.
In case it isn't clear, media, in this case, refers to a mounted DVD. You're not the first to be confused by it. Once installation is complete, and you're not using the install DVD for anything, disable or remove the media-repo.
For MULTImedia, as in mplayer and various other things to play music and video, the simple way is to install the nux-desktop repo. I believe that requires the EPEL repo as well.
Once you have the nux-desktop repo installed (see the CentOS wiki in the HowTos package management or something with package in it for instructiosn on installing the nux repo), you can then run yum install smplayer. It can be frustrating when you're new to it.

CentOS is designed to be a rebuild of the RHEL source code. That is what millions of users want.
We purposely ONLY include functionality that is in RHEL. That is what CentOS is.
If you want other functionality .. it is available via EPEL and other 3rd Party Repos and CentOS Special interest groups. This give you the ability to add things, while maintaining CentOS what it is designed to be .. a rebuild of RHEL with exactly that source code's functionality.

You took my comment wrong. I just thought that the install DVD would provide a note or something as to what other repos are available so that a new user of centos does not have to face a wall of unavailable packages. But thatnx to the users on this list, all that is behind me.

Red Hat’s DVD does not, so CentOS’s does not.
