Sadly, it's not a Debian package, but it's a very simple compile - just a frontend to xine, really. It deals with web media far better than mplayer-plugin did for me. While I prefer (g)mplayer's interface for watching full length movies/TV, gxine is nice and simple - good for catching a quick clip when you don't want to fish around for buttons and menus. -- Todd Pytel ---------------------------------------- Signature attached PGP Key ID 77B1C00C
