Totem does know it has to download proprietary codecs (nice), but doesn't recognize I already have it installed and keeps asking me to (re)install it, and then it fails saying it is (duh) already installed :-/

Hi Andre,
There are so many media players that I do not see why you want
to even bother to solve the problem with a crappy and lame media player
like totem. There are these players I use:
mplayer, kmplayer, smplayer, xine, gxine, gnome-mplayer (aka gmplayer ???), and Realplayer for Linux. And for audio only, amarok,  audacious, to name just a couple.

I agree, it's not that I *need* to use totem (actually so far gnome-mplayer has been a superb replacement for totem), it just feels silly that it doesn't work considering it is the default player, and considering all the effort that has been put into the automatic retrieval of proprietary codecs. This makes life hard for the first-timers and newbies, and therefore makes Fedora look bad :-(
But thks anyway for the tips =)
Regards,
Andre
