installing mplayer in fedora 8

yum search mplayer didn't give me mplayer package to install.
Thanks to Vaiju for his help. and here are the instructions:

1. rpm -Uvh http://www.fedorafaq.org/f8/yum http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
if it asks that yum-priorities are missing install yum-priorities by command
yum -y install yum-priorities
2. yum search mplayer gives you mplayer package

install it. :)

The command to install mplayer should be,

#yum install mplayer*

Thanks a lot. This worked! It's yum install yum-priorities by the way..and not yum-properties :-)
