Two options for installing the codecs: - run /usr/share/mplayer/scripts/binary_codecs.sh install - install Linux PPC 20071007 codecs in your /usr/lib/codecs from http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html You'll need installing the package libstdc++.so.5.Both of these, are not-the-debian-way. Why not just apt-get from www.debian-multimedia.org?
Hi Hans and Bin,Last night I added the path to debian-multimedia in my /etc/apt/sources.list, then used Synaptic rather than apt-get but this should be equivalent. So now I've installed mplayer and also kplayer which looks interesting (I'm running KDE). I won't have time to try them out till later today but I'll let you know how I go.
I guess I'll find out if I need the codecs and follow Bin's advice to get them if it turns out I need them. Thanks for the help!
Cheers, Mike.
