List of required packages.

["Weaver" <weaver@riseup.net>]

Hello,

I have always had a problem getting video to work on Debian.

I run Unstable, with all the multimedia urls in /etc/apt/sources.list.
I have installed all recommended packages, including libdvdcss2, with no joy.

I've Googled till my eyes are out of my head.

I've been to the Debian-Multimedia site, but can find no recommended list
of packages. I have no more luck with Mplayer or Mplayer2 than I have with
any of the players.

As an idea to what might be missing, using GXine, by opening the file
manager and selecting specific packages, I can get them to play - audio
only.

Any pointer appreciated.
TIA
Regards,

Weaver.
