Windows Mediaplayer or RealPlayer

[ThereseB]

Hello!
I am very new with Linux and Ubuntu
There are things that demand either Windows Mediaplayer or RealPlayer
I have MPlayer, but it does not work.
How will I proceed?
I have tried a lot that have not worked. I want your help now =)

Well, you meen codecs and stuff?
Or do you meen that you want a Program that looks like MediaPlauer or RealPlayer?

[ThereseB]

I don't want it to look like Mediaplayer or RealPlayer, I want it to work as Mediaplayer or RealPlayer

Which distribution are you using?

[RobinVossen]

I think you are looking for Amarok

[ThereseB]

I am using Ubuntu.
Can I play videos in Amarok?!?!

If you're looking for an all-in-one media player you can try mplayer, xine or vlc. Personally, I like vlc. You can install them with apt-get if you don't already have them. To install the codecs you need, if you're using Gutsy, try this:

$sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
$wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss

How will I do to install xine?

[RobinVossen]

apt-get xine
