/* ALL the following Steps i have tried under Fedora i do not know about Suse but give it try*/
Download
Mplayer Source Code
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre7try2.tar.bz2
Mplayer Codecs
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20050412.tar.bz2
Mplayer arabic subtitle Support
http://phaeronix.net/files/MPlayer-1.0pre7-arabic-subtitles.patch

Extract Codecs

tar xvfjp all-20050412.tar.bz2
mkdir /usr/lib/win32
# copy contents of all directory to /usr/lib/win32
cp -rv all-xx/* /usr/lib/win32

extract MPlayer

tar xvfjp MPlayer-1.0pre7try2.tar.bz2
cp MPlayer-1.0pre7-arabic-subtitles.patch MPlayer-xxx
cd MPlayer-XX /*check version*/
patch -Np1 -i MPlayer-1.0pre7-arabic-subtitles.patch
# start configure now
./configure --enable-arabic-shaping --enable-fribidi
make
#as root
make install

open mplayer config file --as normal user u will find it /home/user/.mplayer/config
paste the following line into it

fontconfig=1
font='tahoma'
flip-hebrew=1
fribidi-charset=UTF-8
subfont-encoding=unicode
utf8=1

that will use font tahoma for subtitle if u want to usr other font change it
that will install MPlayer with Win32 Codecs -real -quick time -.......
u could run it now useing command line

mplayer filename.avi

if u need frontend
Download
http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kplayer/kplayer-0.5.3.tar.bz2

# extract
tar xvfjp kplayer-xxx /*check version*/
cd kmplayer-xxx
./configure --prefix=/usr /*that is for fedora but i think it will be same for Suse */
make
# as root
make install

NB-- if u will use arabic subtitle u should change its encodeing of sub file to utf-8

iconv -f windows-1256 -t utf-8 arabic.sub >> new_arabic.sub

now kplayer is installed
if u found problem tell me
Mohamad

i realy dunno waht to say to u

personally i am a fan of automated rpm based installation so here is another easy way

if you have a broadband connection follow my instructions (you will need to download about 20 MBs)

press Alt +F2 then type YaST and hit enter then type your root password
Software > installation source >
OR

Start> Control Center

Yast 2 Modules> Software > installation source > click administrator mode in the lower left corner of the right window then {type your root password}


you will find ( Add ) at the lower left corner click it
select from the drop down menu http

in the server name type

packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.0/


click finish in the lower right corner

now click software managment
type your root password if you have to

in the search box type

mplayer

and hit Enter

check the programs from the right frame

hit accept from the bottom right corner

sit back and enjoy the automated installation

you will find mplayer installed in your multimedia > vedio player sub menu

Please let me know if any thing goes wrong

Have Fun...!!!
