It would appear that whoever maintains the "livna" repo for yum has taken care of all of that:

Thanks. It worked very well. It feels as though there is less control than there was with FC2 and compiling it myself. I did a couple of things out of sequence but they still work.
Basic steps: -Get the codecs and put them in the appropriate directory (follow Xine instructions) -Add the dries repository to the list in the appropriate directory (instructions also on the same site) -Update what's available in yum -Follow the instructions previously quoted for just MPlayer or the ones on the site to get the fonts, skins, and GUI as well.
From there I was up and running.

Some good things and some not so good things. Over all I'm not impressed, but there aren't enough problems (yet) to justify my going back to Fedora 2.
Anyhow... I just recompiled MPlayer and at first it didn't like the compiler. I told it not to check the compiler and there was an error near the end of the "make" step. I did a quick check of the MPlayer site and it seems they've moved over to a new machine (without saying where it is). I still have a copy of Pre-7 from before. Has anybody been able to install/compile it for Fedora 5? If so, how? Is there anything newer than Pre-7? Have the codecs been updated? Is there indeed a new site or was I hallucinating as a result of being up until 4:00am the previous night? Do I have to go and get the binary rpm?
I'll ask again at the meeting on Tuesday. Alternatively, if I get it working I'll tell everybody how (if someone reminds me).
