To my (very limited) knowledge two programs where broken with d-m ffmpeg related packages but Christian Marillat is hosting working versions until the debian ones are fixed/compatible (Audacity, already fixed in Debian experimental and blender). debian-multimedia also has several very nice packages like lives, avidemux, k9copy, handbrake, xcfa, libdvdcss2 and an uncrippled version of ffmpeg (I read one is coming soon to Debian proper), cinelerra, mythtv, xbmc just to name a few. So before throwing the stone could be good to actually investigate the problem a bit further, maybe contact Christian Marillat (debian-multimedia maintainer) about the problem to see if it's known to him (with proper logs/debugging info in hands would be nice), he is usually very helpful despite the strange attitude of several people in Debian towards debian-multimedia. [mild rant mode] Sure it would be awesome to work only with Debian proper, but due to dfsg and probably other legal concerns several packages will never be part of the distribution, or only limited versions. d-m is pretty much playing the same role that rpm-fusion is playing for Fedora or medibuntu for ubuntu, and in both cases those external repositories are essential to work with multimedia when you can't have total control over the files you are working on. Sure you can do without, and recompile from sources what you need with the proper flags/codecs, but what good it is compared to getting it from an apt repository, where versions are upgraded regularly ?[/mild rant mode] Regarding your specific problem with sftp I'll try it tomorrow (it's late in my time zone) with/out d-m and see if I can get it to work. But given this (pretty old) feature request on vlc bugtracker it may still be a work in progress. http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/131 Apologies for the long and verbose message, I am fed up to see the nice work Mr Marillat is doing and which I rely on trashed. Now you can unleash hell on me if you care enough to waste your time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
