Centos 6/RHEL install SMPlayer and codecs & Flash Browser Plugin


This post is on installing SM Player and codecs on Centos 6/RHEL.

SMPlayer is perhaps the most versatile and reliable media player for Linux Desktop. It plays DVD, TV, Radio, AVI and a wide range of other formats without any fuss. Install it as below with the codecs for the majority of video files you will find on the internet.

I've included a link at the bottom for the Firefox flash browser plugin also.

RPMForge.

First you need the RPMForge repo 

$ sudo rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm

$ sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo  

and disable it by default or try set priority = 10

SM Player and Codecs.
