There is no demuxer plugin available to handle "file xxx"
Usually this means that the file format was not recognized.
After a bit of googling, I found that this error can be caused by a couple things:
1) a corrupted .xine/catalog.cache file
2) a bad xine-libs install
I also learned that you can run "xine-check" to check out your xine installation. Here's the result of my xine-check before fixing things:
[root@localhost ~]# xine-check
Please be patient, this script may take a while to run...
[ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests

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...

OK! So it looks like I have a few problems. But now, at least, I had two avenues to pursue:
1) delete .xine/catalog.cache
2) reinstall xine and xine-libs
I tried the first option, but to no avail. I got the same error.
Secondly, I reinstalled xine-libs, but still received the same error. Since I've had some yum repository conflicts this weekend, I started thinking that Livna or Dries might be at fault here, as they are my main repositories.
So then, I decided to:
1) remove xine and xine-libs
2) try to install xine without the Livna repos online.
Doing this, I got this error with only the Fedora and Dries repos online:
Error: Missing Dependency: xine-lib = 1.1.4 is needed by package xine-lib-moles
Hmmm. OK, so that didn't work. Let me try the next option:
1) remove xine and xine libs
2) install the Freshrpms repositories
3) rerun the install without Livna, but with Dries and Freshrpms
I installed the Freshrpms repos by using the below URL to start the yum graphical installer widget on the Core 6 desktop:
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/6/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
After Freshrpms repos were online, I disabled Livna in my yum install request:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install --disablerepo=livna xine

This time, no missing dependency! Looks like Freshrpms had the necessary files! Sweet! Now for the final test, to play a video. Sure enough, my videos played and xine-check found my plugins. Hooray. But yeesh..what a headache!
So, the lesson here is that Fedora dependency resolution can be a tricky thing and that you should keep as few repos in your yum repository list as possible. This will minimize your pain. Though I must admit that, on the whole, the repos are doing a better job than they used to.
Finally, if the options above don't work, try compiling from source:

May you all be blessed to work with just one repository. Ha!
