So I went and installed: mplayer-1.0.0-0.20050916.1.fc4.ut mplayer-libs-1.0.0-0.20050916.1.fc4.ut
And this is what happened. When I opened a movie trailer I got by e-mail I got the sound but not the picture.
Then I went to www.css.com and tried to play their video. An error message that it could not find Windows media player.
So what do I do now.?

are the libs the same as the codecs? if not, you need to install those - I've got it working and never installed any libs to my knowledge, though they may have been installed as dependencies. Codecs are available at mplayer's site. You need to get the 'all' package and put them in /usr/lib/win32

I am still confused. I downloaded all-20050412.tar which is supposed to have the codecs. Untared this and put the files contained in all-20050412 directory in /usr/lib/win32
From www.cnn.com it still asks me for the Windows media player. Where
have I gone wrong?

Have you installed the Mozilla mplayer plugin? (I use Livna's RPM for this. The package name is "mplayerplug-in".)

This is not a codec problem, You need to have the mplayerplug-in installed. Probably from dag or livna repositories.
Here is what I have installed, mplayerplug-in-2.80-13.1.fc3.rf

mplayerplug-in-3.05-1.fc4 is available and is much better, at least for FC4 also I had a lot of trouble with codecs until I discovered that mplayer looked for them in /usr/local/lib/win32 (note the local subdir)
Good luck!

Scott I installed w32codec rpm from ATRPM and target directory is /usr/lib/win32. Where did you find that mplayer looks for codec in usr/local/lib/win32??

I got my mplayer from freshrpms and when i tried to view a video from the command line, I saw there in the output, that it was looking for the codec in the /usr/local/lib/win32 directory. I presume that this was compiled in by freshrpms, but in any event, works great for me!

It is funny that on two computers that I installed this weekend, both had the same problem with mplayer. Even from cli. Videos play in xine.
I don't know it is a codec issue of a configuration issue. One thing I did note is that the all-*.* codec file requires a chmod 755 to the final directory. It seemed to fix the issue on one computer but I haven't had a chance to try it on the other computer yet.

Take the time to read the README bundled in the all-20050412 package. It's all documented in there.
