Need help with installing MP3 DVD players Please help

[NorthernLightsfan]

Dose anyone know if it is possible to apt-get a MP3 and DVD player that already comes with plug ins and everything needed to play DVD and MP3 formats I'm using Sarge Debian, and am not sure if certin MP3 / DVD players are Un- compatible with Sarge Debian with a Gnome desktop.

well .. you can install MPlayer, Xine, Ogle DVD Player, etc.

# apt-get mplayer
# apt-get xine
# apt-get ogle

However, I recommend that you download these from the respective web sites,
because there are different builds available for these, some of them work, some do not.

you need to

apt-get install libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread3 libdvdcss2

[prosen]

Shouldnt apt-get take care of these dependencies ??
Any way, no harm in being prepared .

[Vergil83]

Not necessarily. It could think you are installing mplayer, ogle, or xine to play non dvds :P

[NorthernLightsfan]

you need to

apt-get install libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread3 libdvdcss2

Didn't work here is the error message

E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate

That is because these packages are not in the official debian repository!

Add in the /etc/apt/sources.list the following line:

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

change unstable with the type of repository you use (testing or stable) if you need.
Then apt-get update and you will find all you need.
Bye!
