Re: odvr for Olympus WN-960PC : problem installing multimedia repository on Stretch

[Bernard <bdebreil@free.fr>]

True enough, the package odvr is not in any Debian repository. Reading 
more carefully the same doc from Ray Woodcocks, I found a Google storage 
place where said package could be downloaded

https://code.google.com/archive/p/odvr/downloads

But... trying to install

#dpkg -i odvr_0.1.4.1_i386.deb

I got an error message saying that my hardware was not compatible since 
it was md65, not i386. The same Google archive also proposes something 
for md65, but it has to be built and compiled, and there is NO MAKEFILE 
provided... the user is supposed to create its own, and I am not ready 
to go that way.

So, instead, I installed odvr_0.1.4.1_i386.deb on a very old DELL 
Inspiron running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)... and... IT WORKS there with 
my Olympus recorder !
