Xine install on Fedora 7 x86-64

Another reason to dump FreshRPMs. I wanted to Xine on my Fedora 7, x86-64 system and got the following error:
Error: Missing Dependency: xine-lib = 1.1.7 is needed by package xine-lib-moles

Yuck. Upon investigation, it looks like FreshRPMs were screwing me up:

I was using FreshRPMs because they had previously worked on my Fedora Core 6 install:
/2007/06/xine-no-demuxer-plugin-available-to.html

Now that I was on Fedora 7, things had changed and those FreshRPM packages were no longer good. Specifically, I had some xine-lib packages installed from FreshRPMs which conflicted with either the Livna or Fedora base packages. I removed them:
[root@ogre ~]# yum remove xine-lib

xine-lib-extras-nonfree x86_64 1.1.7-1.lvn7 installed 1.1 M

I then installed xine from only the Fedora base and Livna repositories:
[root@ogre ~]# yum install xine --disablerepo freshrpms

Testing the xine install with "xine-check", I got this error:
[root@ogre ~]# xine-check
[ hint ] No xine-config found. Assuming xine from RPMs The xine-config script can be used to determine some file locations used by xine-lib, but you don't have such a script on your system. However, it looks like you installed xine from the RedHat packages. So I'll just guess that you are using the standard locations. If you want me to be sure about those file locations, you can install the 'xine-lib-devel' package (or 'xine-devel', depend on what packages you're using, which contains xine-config. However, this package is not really needed to run xine... press to continue...

Doing what the man says, I installed xine-lib-devel from Fedora Updates:
[root@ogre ~]# yum install xine-lib-devel --disablerepo freshrpms

Installing for dependencies:
xine-lib i386 1.1.10.1-1.fc7 updates 2.6 M

When I ran xine-check again, I no longer received that error. Good. But when I started up xine to play a test mpeg video, I got the dreaded error:
There is no demuxer plugin available to handle "file:/usr/share/xine/skins/xine-ui_logo.mpv".
Usually this means the file format was not recognized.

Hmm. I listed the packages I installed and found that I didn't have the "xine-lib-extras" packages installed. Specifically, the "xine-lib-extras-nonfree" one from Livna:
[root@ogre ~]# rpm -qa | grep xine
xine-lib-devel-1.1.10.1-1.fc7
xine-0.99.5-1.lvn7
xine-lib-1.1.10.1-1.fc7
xine-lib-devel-1.1.10.1-1.fc7
xine-lib-arts-1.1.10.1-1.fc7
xine-lib-1.1.10.1-1.fc7

I then installed "xine-lib-extras-nonfree" from Livna:
=============================================================================

Happily, my mpeg video played! Also, an x264 video played. Great! So it looks like the Livna "nonfree" package is responsible for this joy. Thanks, Livna!

The lesson here folks is that you have to watch your libraries. And stay away from FreshRPMs, if at all possible.
