    [SOLVED] yum yum yum

    first i uses fedora 10
    this problem begins with my attemp to install mplayer
    i decided to use yum instead
    but it said that he can't find it although i've installed livna repo
    i was surprised as i installed it before on fedora 9
    i added all the repo [atrpms,freshrpms,google]
    but after that when i tried to use yum to install mplayer i found that i lost it !!!
    it gives me that message when i want to use it to install anything

    Code:
    Loaded plugins: protectbase, refresh-packagekit
        Options Error: Error parsing '1': URL must be http, ftp, file or https not ""
    i am shocked as i can't do without yum
    does anyone have a solution ??

    You seem to have an error somewhere in your repos, you may want to edit them and make sure you have no typos or invalid repos.

    Its not recommended to use multiple third pardy repos. I would suggest you to use only one repo at a time.
    Execute this
    Code:
    su -
    ls /etc/yum.repos.d
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Have you tried VLC Player? It supports most of formats.
    Execute this
    Code:
    yum -y install vlc
    I would suggest you to use either Livna or Freshrpms, not both.

    Mplayer is part of the RPMFusion repositories.
    Code:
    [glenn@coolhand ~]$ yum list mplayer*
    Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
    Available Packages
    mplayer.i386                        1.0-0.103.20080903svn.fc10                     rpmfusion-free-updates
    mplayer-doc.i386                    1.0-0.103.20080903svn.fc10                     rpmfusion-free-updates
    mplayer-gui.i386                    1.0-0.103.20080903svn.fc10                     rpmfusion-free-updates
    To install and use RPMFusion execute this code in a terminal
    PHP Code:
    su -'rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm' 
    You should now be able to install mplayer.
    Code:
    sudo yum install mplayer
