Hi George, For the latest Fedora-on-XO1.5 release I've merged the English Help activity content into the helpfr engine, and released a version for the xo1.5's release. The git repo is up on git.sl.org [1]. I tried to merge my changes back into the Help activity main branch (Brian's Help repo[2])

The way that I undertand it, OLPC's gstreamer is fairly custom, so the standard build of -ugly would have to be rebuilt for the XO. I suggest the Livna repo, mplayer and its assorted faad &etc plugins instead. Mplayer, mpd and wymypy as a sterieo-on-xo controlled over webbrowser works really well
