I would like to thank to James M. Payne for the solution below: «Paul, I'm not a member of the list (I just peruse the archives for information), but I thought I'd answer your question. If it works for you, please include this back on the list. When installing mplayer with yum, disable your livna repo, and use freshrpms instead. I couldn't get mplayer to install using livna either. Also, if you want the plug-in support for your Web browser (Mozilla, Firefox, etc.), go to http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mplayerplug-in/mplayerplug-in-3.05-1.fc4.i386.rpm?download (I couldn't find it with yum, so I had to get it here). It was the only one that I found that accepted the stuff that yum had already installed for its dependencies. My mplayer and plugin are working great on FC4. I can now play wmv, avi, mov, mpg, etc., in-browser, and stand-alone.. Hope this helps, James»
