To just read files, you only need to type
mplayer path/to/file.avi

For this you first need to have gmplayer, which should be in mplayer-gui
rpm. But, you still can right-click on any video-file you have, and choose
Open with->Other Application... to set the default application to mplayer.
You won't have GUI but that's not a big deal :)

You're welcome - but as we get kind of offtopic here (speaking about

do reply.
