windows media plugin

[Matthew Gillen]

Oh.  I don't have any Fedora 8 boxes around, but command was in the main totem
rpm, so I guess that approach won't work.  Try this instead (also, you should
have installed the livna-release-8.rpm ):
 yum install mplayerplug-in gstreamer-plugins-ugly

I don't know why there doesn't seem to be a mplayerplug-in package for F9, but
it seems for F9 the CW is to use the totem thing.
