How can I get rid of Dragon Player ????
My guess is that it is part of kde-multimedia, so it would not be practical to uninstall that package without gouging some necessary stuff from your system.
What you can do, however, is to go through system settings/advanced tab/file associations and move dragon player down the list for the file types where it gets started and you wish something else would start instead. Likely, that would be mpg, avi, flv and other video media types.
Of course, you need to have something installed that can handle those file types, like kaffeine, kplayer, smplayer, vlc, gnome-mplayer, etc. Those are available from the rpmfusion repo. Then, you make sure that one of these programs appears higher in the list.
This should solve your problem.
It doesn't do any good to modify File Assc. kde come right in changes it to Dragon Player again, I had changed to VLC as priority player. I went ahead and removed kdemultimedia and I seem to have no problems so far.
