Under Debian Jessie + icewm, I had installed vlc: No pictures no sound. Sb. in this forum was advised to use mplayer. So I purged vlc, used deborphan to get rid of it's fringe benefits, and as a layman in video and sound, installed mplayer AND smplayer. After fiddling a little within smplayer's menu, I could enjoy a film DVD, (an old present that I hadn't been able to get working before: "Those magnificient men in their flying machines")
