I don't see xine in Core. It's one of the many packages that got stuck in Livna due to patent restrictions or distribution restrictions. Also, I forgot to mention, ATrpms has a package for the win32 codecs that xine can use. I don't know if you need them for a Myth box or not, but if you do, feel free to contact me off-list as I've repackaged them to be more "Fedora friendly." > -snip of good stuff- -- Chris Grau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
