I have MPlayer-1.0rc2_r27637-2.pm.1 installed on both my 10.3 and 11.0 PCs and it works well. I typically use the “smplayer” front end to it. I do note (until a fix was applied) there was a problem with MPlayer on openSUSE-10.3 and 11.0 PCs (both kde3) with the latest caca-utils-0.9_0.99.beta15-0.pm.5.i586.rpm and libcaca0-0.9_0.99.beta15-0.pm.5.i586.rpm from Packman not being compatible with MPlayer-1.0rc2_r27637-2.pm.1.i586.rpm also packaged by Packman.
When trying to play an flv or mpeg file, the error I obtained was:
oldcpu@stonehenge01:~/data/musicvideos> mplayer oldcpu-video.mpg
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libcucul.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
On my openSUSE-10.3 PC, I rolled libcaca back to libcaca0-0.9_0.99.beta14-0.pm.5.i586.rpm and the problem went away, and I could play mpeg and flv files with no problem.
I was told that re-install libcaca0 with “zypper in -f libcaca0” would fix the problem, so I tried that re-install and it worked on my openSUSE-11.0 PC. The thread is here: mplayer error with latest libcaca0 - openSUSE Forums
Further to that, I obtained the same recommendation from the Packman packagers. And I was told another quick solution is to create symlinks from libcucul.so to libcaca.so.

Your problem appears to be different. Do you have the packman packaged libschroedinger0-1.0.5-0.pm.1 installed ?**
I’m using smplayer too on my opensuse 10.3.
And I have libschroedinger 1.0.5-0.pm.1 installed. I think it was installed while installing mplayer - there is a dependency on this lib.
Is it possible to install a older version of mplayer/libschroedinger using Packman?
If no version is specified we suppose you are using the latest available openSUSE version (11.0 right now). So in the future please note you are using 10.2.
