Replacent for Windows Media Player

I like to view news videos from cnn.com, which uses Windows Media Player. Is there anything in Fedora I can use to watch those news?

if anything exist, how so I get it and installed?
Thanks.

totem-xine-mozplugin should handle that, provided xine has all its codecs.

Did not find "totem-xine-mozplugin" but "totem-mozplugin" and same thing, not working.

If "yum -y install mplayerplug-in", then results are:

Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 1.9 kB 00:00
Nothing to do

If "yum -y install mplayerplug-in", then results are:

Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

Another problem is that now, it upload the player on the page, but then immediately stops, no video, no audio, just their playing window with black screen.

Install first livna-release-6.rpm, then you can do the installation of both mplayer and mplayerplug-in with all the codecs.

Your problem is that totem lacks codecs. Install them.
