Both repos probably have both of those packages, actually. I use 
totem-xine (totem using xine instead of gstreamer as a backend) from 
livna. Another option which I believe is a good one is VLC media player, 
this is also in livna. Both totem-xine and vlc have respective mozilla 
plugin packages, the VLC one plays far more formats but I haven't tried 
it out much. In the end, go with what you like best.
