Aha. Needed to set up an if statement for the featured player.

<?php if((is_home()) && ($paged <= "1")) :?>
  <div class="featured">
		<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>

I managed to get the pages to work sort of by commenting out:

?php
$latest = get_option(‘matatag_latestnews_slug’);
$latcat = ($latest == ”) ? 1 : get_category_by_slug($latest);
query_posts(‘cat=’ . $latcat->term_id);
?

However the feature player is still showing on the archive pages which is not ideal
