Not here: I always had, and still have probs getting mplayer or xine
playing wmv3 files, with, e.g., mplayer errors like this:
-----------------------------------------------
Requested video codec family [wmv9dmo] (vfm=dmo) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Requested video codec family [wmvdmo] (vfm=dmo) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x33564D57.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!
---------------------------------------------
... which was why I was so happy about vlc that even played files like
the ones mentioned above (IIRC) until a few weeks ago ...

Some hints on how to do that? mplayer settings/rc's ? Please remember:
I'm on ppc .. :)
Besides: I don't think it's a good idea to simply move on to other
software if the one that previously worked like a charm suddenly
fails. We're on Debian: If we don't fix it, who will?
So clearly: I'd like to help fix vlc.
Thanks in anticipation ... :)
Best Regards
Wolfgang
