[nflug] windows media player files

[peter at thecybersource.com]

I use the mplayer plugin and it works fine.  You probably have to install a
copy of the M$ dll files in /usr/lib/win32.  The mplayer site has information
on that.  This is the only way to get WMV files to play in any of the video
players.

Cheers!

All sorts you should have installed but mainly mplayerplug-in and the
win32codecs, you can yum them as such;
"yum install mplayerplug-in"
"yum install w32codec"
Also as root run "gst-register" after
