Can you try without this patch, just in case it breaks something? > No, I didn't patch anything (and I'm not interested in TV support), I use 100% pure Debian packages (apart, as you can easily guess, the non-official deb package for the libdvdcss library) Andrea -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
