Hi!
When playing wmv file with mplayer, I only got sound but no image. I guess that I was able to play wmv file on my old i386 computer because of w32codecs package that is not available on sid-amd64 (and I understand why) Is there a way to play this format under sid-amd64 without having to set up an i386 chroot system ?
AFAIK no, because the w32codecs require the 32bit libs and not the installed 64bit libs.
BTW: is it easy to use a chrooted i386 system ? I started to read something about it but the article won't say what I want to hear : I mean let's say i'm booting under sid-amd64 can I easily just run a program such as wine by just typing a command or is it more "casse couille" ?
Set it up like presented in the howto and add the optinal dchroot as shown.With the shell-script for the dchroot you will later see no difference between 32 (chrooted) and 64bit app.
