That's the 386 version - anything with i386 i586 or i686 is 32 bit, 64
bit would read x86_64

Is there a specific reason you're not using the mythtv installation
set available in rpmfusion?

The rpmfusion repos have a number of up to date apps that will support
mythtv as well, such as ffmpeg, mplayer and their associated
dependencies.  I would suggest though that you TURN OFF the rpmfusion
repos default setting, it just gives you better 'control' over when
you want to use them.

If you install yumex (yum install yumex) if you haven't used it, then
run it as root it'll give you a very useful searchable GUI front end
for what repos you are using and what apps are in them.

Good Luck
