I have both installed. both work. NCR {no configuration required}. In
fact I record DVB-T off-air shows to one PC's disk, and play them back
on another machine connected with curl-fuse-ftp, so network stuff works
find as well. To watch live TV I needed to generate a correct
channels.conf file.
If you want to play back ms media files you can add the w32 codecs, but
the base player it just works.
- the result of file whatever.mediaextension
- the result of mplayer whatever.mediaextension
are likely to be of use.

From source ? from a repo ? once you have an appropriate repo setup,
it's just yum install xine mplayer {from memory}.

Theoretically the system|preferences|personal|preferred applications
multimedia|command=/usr/bin/gmplayer %s should be enough to do it,
but doesn't work for me. I right click the media file and open with mplayer.
