Nat,

mine:

mplayer-skins-1.4-1.lvn5
mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.lvn5
mplayer-1.0-0.37.pre7try2.lvn5
mplayerplug-in-3.21-1.lvn5
mplayer-gui-1.0-0.37.pre7try2.lvn5

see last line? you need to install mplayer-gui to get gmplayer working.

if you still get a "not found" make sure:

1) livna's repo is set enabled=1 in /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo
2) if it is set, try 1st yum clean all and then again yum install
mplayer-gui

HTH
