I am looking for a good general purpose media player, like Mplayer , which does everything I want. However, there is no debian package. ok, so I compiled it from source and did a make install. However there is no gui available. In red hat there was a mplayer-gui package and that was all that was needed. I found references to an old mplayer debian package however I cannot find it.
is there an alternative to mplayer with a debian package? It may seem that I am lazy, I am, that is why I installed debian to begin which, so I did not have to chase dependencies. Now, I do not have to cause there are simply no apps available.
Mplayer packages are available. Add one or both of the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
The mplayer source also comes with debian build rules, if you want to build an mplayer package yourself.
gmplayer shows up with no skin available but I do not remember installing it.
Thanx again.
Paul
