hey where can i download a MPEG player for linux

where can i download these:

1.wma player
2. mpeg player
3..dat player

Mplayer Should be able to handle the wma and mpegs. Not sure about the dat files. Just look on the Mplayer information page.

Can also look into using Xine

Mplayer should do the trick ( does for me ) as long as you get the codecs with it.
mplayer download : http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre6a.tar.bz2
codecs for mplayer download : http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20050216.tar.bz2
*** This is a package of all the codecs on the site ***
untar the MPlayer-1.0pre6a.tar.bz2
./configure --with-codecsdir=Place-Where-You-Untarred-The-Codecs-Package
make
#make install

Just for information, you can find a myriad of software for Linux on

and

There are literally tens of thousands of software projects hosted on these sites (quality varies, however ;)).

Where would be be without sourceforge and freshmeat eh?
:wink:

soooooooooo lost

When i Do a ./congiure i get a error thet xine-lib not found first install it .how do i tackle this situation

in china we are use windows.none use linux or unix ,so i don't if player can be run on windows system,that can be run on linux or unix too?

actually, alot of linux users are chinese, and mplayer does not run on windows, sorry. And use your head, when ./configure tells you to get xine-libs, get xine-libs!

To install Xine, there are two steps. The steps are described fairly well on the Xine site.

  1. Download and configure/compile/install the xine-lib package. Don't forget to edit /etc/ld.so.conf with a text editor and make sure it has /usr/local/lib in it. Then as root run the 'ldconfig' command to make the new libs available to the system
  2. Choose a UI (which it sounds like you downloaded) and configure/compile/install
  3. Execute your chosen UI (I use gxine myself) and configure Xine, then load up a file and play!
