Before mplayer-gui installation in Fedora Core 12, you will have to add RPM Fusion repositories. After that, yum will resolve all dependencies and mplayer will be installed in a minute.
How to add RPM Fusion repositories?
# add RPM Fusion repository with the rpm command
rpm -Uvh http:
//download1
.rpmfusion.org
/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable
.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http:
//download1
.rpmfusion.org
/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable
.noarch.rpm
|
If you have proxy problems, please use --httpproxy switch in rpm command. If you still have problems, you can manually downloadfree and nonfree repositories and then install them from the local directory:
rpm -Uvh rpmfusion-
free
-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
|
Detailed information about configuring RPM Fusion repositories can be found at http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration page. Finally, Fedora Core 12 is ready for mplayer-gui, xine or vlc installation.
yum
install
mplayer-gui
yum
install
xine
yum
install
vlc

And small issue before the end. Instead of playing AVI, mplayer gave me the following message:
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
The solution was to change output video device in mplayer-gui to xv, gl, ... (depends on your video hardware but in general, xv should work):
mplayer-gui -> Preferences -> Video -> xv
