The gstreamer project describes these plugin sets as: gst-plugins-base: contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins gst-plugins-ugly: contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for distributors gst-plugins-bad: contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the rigorous quality testing we expect I always install all of them on my Ubuntu desktop systems - they are not mutually exclusive. You mentioned wanting to play Windows Media Files (.wmv) - if it doesn't work after you've installed all of the above plugins, I've been using a package named w32codecs which usually does the trick. It's definitely not open source, though. Perhaps this page will help you in looking for where to find that .deb file: http://www.debianadmin.com/install-libdvdcss-and-w32-video-codecs-in-debian-and-ubuntu.html Scott -- Scott Garman sgarman at zenlinux dot com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
