    Welcome to the forums!

    Note that real player must reside in the repo that you are trying to install from. If you are sure it's there, did you get any error messages?

    If so, post them and maybe someone can help.

    yum command: Update / Install Packages Under Redhat Enterprise / CentOS Linux Version 5.x

    yum how to - Google Search

    Real Player is awful, I wouldn't recommend using it.

    Presumably you downloaded the rpm package from the real player site. You would need to use the rpm command to install that.

    Yup, I'd have to agree with reed9 that it's not the best option for playing media.
