You might need to un-install mplayer manually via Adept (or Synaptic) before you install it with Automatix. And also make sure you have the newest version of Automatix.....

I installed it but cannot get mplayer or realplayer to work..When I goto the bbc news and lick on a vid mplayer starts to connect and the tells me "stopped" If I alter preferences to use realplayer f/fox crashes with no error messages...If I try Konq it too crashes...I have tried using automatix on a clean install to get the codecs etc but still no joy..It will play vids and youtube clips though.. I have also tried using pclinuxos and Mepis but all show the same symptoms.... I am running out of ideas and he is thinking abt going back to win 2k Any ideas appreciated...
