dvd player

[Jay Wieczorek]

hi guys. i am looking for an easy to install dvd player. i am a noob. so plzzzzzz have mercy. i am running the most up to date FC3. I also do not know which one to get. could someone please help me?

[Mat]

there dozens of dvd players based either on mplayer or xine...
I personally prefer kaffeine, which uses xine

if you configured yum, use
% yum install kaffeine

that should install all dependencies (like xine itsself) automatically

Follow his instructions on how to configure yum (and sudo). After you have done so, do this:

sudo yum -y install kaffeine
