I tried an rpm source that was suggested  http://rpm.pbone.net for some
of the dependencies with only partial success.  Seems like there is a
file needed named postun_ldconfig that no-one on the net can find.

I deleted mplayer and several things that depended on it.  Tried to
install mythtv-suite with yum -- no go.  Then installed smart and
smart-gui, but still haven't got smart configured enough so it can find
mythtv-suite.  Reinstalled mplayer.  At least mplayer isn't listed as a
missing dependency, but libmp4ff.so.0 still is missing.
