Mplayer not playing DVDs

[lorenzo111]

Okay I just got back to linux after giving up on it for awhile so I installed FC4 trying to see if things have changed. Well I'm trying to watch DVDs now used yum and installed Mplayer.Got that working following the Fedora Media guide but when it comes to getting the libcss and dvdread I cant find the files no where and this sux because I want to watch a DVD on my linux box. So if someone can point me in the right direction so I can accomplish this that would be great.I'm using yum right now.

I got mine from livna, check the faq (top right) for details on setting up repos.
Failing that, you'll find the stuff you need on rpmfind.net

I tried adding adding livna to yum and got the following error
[root@localhost lorenzo]# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/R...5.4.noarch.rpm

file /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo from install of livna-release-4-0.lvn.5.4 conflicts with file from package yum-fedorafaq-4-2005.07.25a


followed right by the guide to adding the resource could someone please tell me what reposorties to add to get a great working box and how you added them without conflicts would be superb

See Fedora Core 4 Installation Notes for more of a step-by-step approach. The Notes also includes a description of how to play DVDs with Xine.
