Cannot play .flv files with gmplayer (whereas with mplayer it is ok)

[Nicolae Ghimbovschi]

I'm sorry,
I'm using xine from the livna repository.
It plays flv's.

If your xine is not from livna, do the following steps, all as root:

1) remove xine
# yum remove xine

2) install livna repository
# rpm -ihv
http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/8/i386/livna-release-8-1.noarch.rpm

3) install xine from the livna repository
# yum install xine xine-lib-extras-nonfree
