Run it from a terminal and you can see any error messages there may be. The command is gmplayer

[WindowsAfterBirth]

this is the message that i got:

$ gmplayer
gmplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libdts.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

what is libdts.so.0 ????????

I obtained mplayer and, at the same time, many of its dependencies from the Livna repository with yum.

I think you should consider completely uninstalling and then reinstalling mplayer by whatever method you originally used (source, yum+livna, yum+atrpms,etc.) hoping that it will also fix any missing dependency problems.

i've uninstalled mplayer multiple times and i get the same error. how do i uninstall it from the terminal? how do i install from terminal?

PS

i've recently installed Xine and it works but i dont have any codecs. how do i install codecs once i find them?
