You wouldn't have a nice big "yum -y install" command that would cover 
those "mplayer bits," would you?

This new machine I just installed F20 on, has an optical drive that can 
read Blu-ray disks. But when I insert one, of any description, it will 
not recognize it as a "new device." It just sits there, waiting for me 
to hit the eject button on the drive and get it out of there.
