There's also gmplayer, or xine (the latter from blastwave; also, if the out-of-the-box version of the former doesn't work, try blastwave's version). Not sure if ogle handles those, haven't tried. Since totem is supposed to be just a front-end for xine, and is also available on blastwave, I suppose you could try that too. To fetch blastwave packages, first set up pkg-get; see http://www.blastwave.org/pkg-get.php Once that's done and working (i.e. the pkg-get -U updates the local copy of the catalog), you should be able to say # pkg-get totem which should download and install totem and all its dependencies. Expect that to take quite awhile (and quite a few MB of disk space), there are probably quite a few dependencies, counting both the direct and indirect ones. Note: I've used blastwave's xine on SPARC (but probably not on x86); as best I recall, I haven't tried totem at all. BTW, gmplayer probably handles a number of formats (such as wmv) that xine doesn't, but gmplayer is to my way of thinking less friendly than xine (or probably totem either, for that matter).
