Is there any place where I can find a static i686 build of mplayer2? can't install stuff on this system ATM -I've booted a Fedora LiveCD- but I need to watch a flv file and so far I've been going round in circles.... no mplayer and no vlc in the base LiveCD...

Just a thought.....
Since you're booting a LiveCD, not matter what you do it will be gone on the next boot. So, how about trying "yum install totem-mozplugin"? This gets you /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libtotem-cone-plugin.so which, according to FF about:plugins is responsible for flv files. Then watch the file in your browser.
Of course I don't know what dependencies would need to be satisfied and if your LiveCD environment will have enough free space.

thanks for the help Ed. Will try that and report back.
If I ever do my own distro, I'll make sure LiveCD includes static builds of mplayer...

It worked, but, when loading the flv file from the browser it tells me if I want to open it with the default player associated with flv extensions, which is ' Parole Media Player ' (this is fedora XFCE btw), which in turn tells me it lacks the plugins/codecs to open that file. Catch 22.
:-(
Maybe I'll have to fiddle with the browser's mime-types to tell the browser to play the flv file internally.... now if I could remember how.... last time I fiddled with mime types I was using Netscape Communicator 4.x I think. ;)

In thinking about it, it probably requires a bit more bits....maybe even from rpmfusion-non-free since flv (zoned out on that) is "flash video", duh.

Seems like Ubuntu got mplayer2 static builds...or someone attempting to https://launchpad.net/~ripps818/+archive/coreavc/+build/4317875
why cant we?
I also found win32 static builds... http://mplayer2.srsfckn.biz/mplayer2-i686-latest.7z http://smplayer.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5864&start=20
and here, someone builds a static vlc http://code.google.com/p/olpc-video-streaming/wiki/BuildingStaticVlc ...but forgets to actually provide the binary... dang.
I think static builds should be more popular, for situations like this...
Oh well... FC
