Installing a Video Player Locally on CentOS 6.5

The frustrating thing about installing CentOS 6.5 is that the built-in player doesn’t support a lot of videos (you know what I mean). So what to do?? The old routine: Baidu first, then Google… Most of the folks on Baidu use mplayer, so I’ll just follow the crowd. First download MPlayer-1.1.tar.gz and yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz. mplayer http://download.csdn.net/detail/w15875510692/7708613 yasm http://download.csdn.net/detail/w15875510692/7708623 Unzip and install yasm first, then install mplayer with ./configure —enable-gui, then make && make install. Now the long wait. Once installed: cd /usar/share/mplayer/skins cp Blue /usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/ -r cd /usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/ mv Blue/ default modprobe snd_pcm_oss Type gmplayer to open the player.
