hi, why is w32codecs not part of standard debian apt sources lists, it says WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! w32codecs you apparently added debian-multimedia.org site to your apt/sources.list, but didn't import the gpg key. all packages are authenticated using the gpg and missing key leads to this error message. issuing aptitude install debian-multimedia-keyring; aptitude update should help here. it's actually wise to install all *-keyring packages if they are not installed already. -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lubos.vrbka.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, If those are WMV8/9 I think ffmpeg (use ffplay) in unstable can play these. Xine uses ffmpeg, so it could work, but I'm not sure if the unstable packages have been updated yet. Optionally, install ffmpeg or MPlayer from this repository: http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg isn't updated with WMV support, so Gstreamer based players can't play these formats yet. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: how to play .wmv files on Debian..???
The long and the short...The short: install w32codecs package after enabling the repository http://www.debian-multimedia.orgThe long:As far as I'm aware, no matter whether you're using Gnome or KDE you need to do the following at the terminal (can probably be done with synaptic too but I find this quicker and easier): su -[enter root password] nano /etc/apt/sources.listAdd the following line to the end of the file:#codecsdeb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch mainChange etch to whichever distribution you are using i.e. sarge or sid. Exit and save the file (ctrl-x) then back at the terminal:apt-get updateapt-get install w32codecsAnd that's it! .wmv should now play in any media player that handles video: I myself use Totem with Xine backend as supplied by default in Debian but it will work just as well with mplayer etc. Hope this helps, ooo and .mp3 etc should all work too! -- Jon
