Thanks for your continued support. I d/l'd every codec I could get my
hands on but the mplayer situation hasn't changed (which is fine).  As
for vlc, this is maybe a dumb question, but if I enable the livna repos
do I need somehow to disable 'extras' and refresh my repos listings? The
reason I ask is that I have tried again using livna and gotten the same
dependency errors as before.
