I did the nux-to-rpmfusion switch a few days ago.  The wiki suggests nux 
because rpmfusion support for el7 was somewhat late in arriving.  I 
never had problems with the packages but updates rather faded away.

I believe that

$ rpm -qa --qf " %{NAME}\t%{VENDOR}\n " | grep -i nux!

will identify nux packages and you can probably remove them without too 
much overhead by eg

# rpm -e --nodeps libquicktime

in the hope that yum will then reconnect everything.
