One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 - Media), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable c7-media 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=c7-media.skip_if_unavailable=true failure: repodata/repomd.xml from c7-media: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. file:///media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml" file:///media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml" file:///media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml" Does anyone have it working?

I'd disable that repo, as it suggests, and just use the network repos. >In case it isn't clear, media, in this case, refers to a mounted DVD. You're not the first to be confused by it. Once installation is complete, and you're not using the install DVD for anything, disable or remove the media-repo. For MULTImedia, as in mplayer and various other things to play music and video, the simple way is to install the nux-desktop repo. I believe that requires the EPEL repo as well. Once you have the nux-desktop repo installed (see the CentOS wiki in the HowTos package management or something with package in it for instructiosn on installing the nux repo), you can then run yum install smplayer. It can be frustrating when you're new to it. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
