( try livna instead) Thanks for your continued support. I d/l'd every codec I could get my hands on but the mplayer situation hasn't changed (which is fine). As for vlc, this is maybe a dumb question, but if I enable the livna repos do I need somehow to disable 'extras' and refresh my repos listings? The reason I ask is that I have tried again using livna and gotten the same dependency errors as before.
