I installed the nux repo just now. I ran

mplayer-1.2-92_snap20130920.el7.x86_64.rpm

This is insane, just do: yum install smplayer
The insane thing is that not all the repos are NOT installed
in /etc/yum.repo.d when centos is installed.
Don't you think I tried to yum install it???
Yum returned with something like no match found....
What repos do you have on your system?
CentOS is designed to be a rebuild of the RHEL source code. That is
what millions of users want.
We purposely ONLY include functionality that is in RHEL. That is what
CentOS is.
If you want other functionality .. it is available via EPEL and other
3rd Party Repos and CentOS Special interest groups. This give you the
ability to add things, while maintaining CentOS what it is designed to
be .. a rebuild of RHEL with exactly that source code's functionality.
You took my comment wrong.
I just thought that the install DVD would provide a note or something
as to what other repos are available so that a new user of centos does not
have to face a wall of unavailable packages.
But thatnx to the users on this list, all that is behind me.
