A few comments only:
* You should not mix repositories which may be incompatible with
eachother. http://www.fedora.us/wiki/RepositoryMixingProblems In
particular, fedora.us + rpm.livna.org + Fedora Core are made to coexist
peacefully, while when being mixed with other repositories which either
conflict, upgrade Fedora Core, or provide the same software with
higher/different versions, problems are likely to occur.
* Recently, there has been a Fedora Core 2 Update of Mozilla to version
1.7.2-0.2.0. If mplayerplug-in hasn't been updated yet to be in sync
with the new Mozilla package, you may need to wait some time for the
package maintainers to catch up in their spare time.
* In general, be careful with repositories other than Fedora Core
Updates, which upgrade packages in Fedora Core. These likely break the
dependencies of extra packages or even of packages in Fedora Core
itself.
I assume you updated Mozilla to >= 1.7.2-0.2.0, so mplayer refuses to
install/update, because it wants 1.6 (epoch 37). And probably you no
longer have the mplayer from rpm.livna.org "unstable" installed
(1.0-0.lvn.13.pre5.2), but a package from a different repository.
Hence the dependency of mplayer-gui is broken.
rpm --query mozilla 'mplayer*'
might give a clue.
