If you have the repositories OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman setup in your software package manager, as described here: Repositories/11.1 - openSUSE-Community Just those 4. You should find OSS, Non-OSS, and Update already setup, and typically one just needs to add Packman. In any case, ensure you have those 4 and JUST those 4 selected. I recommend you disable ANY and ALL other repositories. I repeat, disable ANY and ALL other repositories. In particular disable videolan. If you do NOT do this, you could experience the sort of problem you reported.

Then go to YaST > Software > Software management, and change the “filter” to “search” and select the Packman packaged MPlayer for installation. Note you can tell Packman packaged versions by the “pm” in the version number.

actually I’m on a PPC (iMac G5) and have those repos enabled and get all kinds of dependency errors. have to go around web and pick up libs from who knows where

If those are the only 4 repos you have enabled, and if you did a clean install on your openSUSE (and not an update) and if you did not go thru a phase with many other enabled, then you have picked up a problem that should be reported to the Packman MPlayer packager.

You can contact the packagers clicking on their name in the Packman page here which can give you their email address:
MPlayer-1.0rc2_r29116-2.pm.2.ppc.rpm MPlayer (Henne Vogelsang)

BUT if you previously messed around with many repositories, and downloaded apps from other repositories, and/or if you did not do a clean install, but rather did an update install, then it is best to address that first, as opposed to wasting the packager’s time.

You can save the error from Yast using the expert button. Then post it here and we can walk you through it.
