Hi again,

I found the following bugzilla (from previous posting to the fedora-list). 
http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1489

I did 'xine --verbose movie.avi' and just basically tracked down the 
dependencies that xine needed. I found that by installing the following, xine 
is able to play all of my movie that I tried. Kaffeine also works now (since 
it just basically depends on xine).

yum install vlc vlc-devel libmad libmad-devel madplay libmp4v2 gsm directfb

I have Livna repository installed, and some of those packages are from Livna 
(and they will also get more dependencies).

Hope that helps.
