Re: [ilugd] In Debian Lenny, VLC can't play AVI
Hi Swapnil I recently installed Debian Lenny (network install), but I am unable to play DivX or avi files. It could play mpeg files though. AVI files play by default for vlc. There is however an issue with certain divx files (also real media files) whose support is an issue. Install w32codecs package from debian-multimedia.org and then totem should work for you for rest of the files. Ensure that you have removed the debian-multimedia.org (there is an issue with the newer libavcodec51 which breaks ffmpeg here. - assuming still not resolved - because of which certain formats may not play here. Ensure that newer package is not installed). Also, can someone please share his working source.list list for Lenny? deb http://ftp.debian.org/ lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/ lenny main contrib non-free # deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ lenny main Regards Gajendra ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

In any case, the debian-multimedia packages are needed for mplayer, so if VLC doesn't work, you could probably give them a try. Thanks.
