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."
