Hi, That's usually not necessary. Installing a video player should give you the necessary libraries to play most formats. For example: apt-get install mpv or apt-get install vlc If you are using the GNOME desktop, you might need to install the gstreamer1.0-plugins-* packages. I don't remember how many of them comes with the default install. Hopes this helps, -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
