    little trouble with some plugins

    Hi everyone,
    Recently, I've been trying to edit my media players to be able to run video off the net. One such thing that i've been trying to do, is to install the firefox plugin to play .wmv files. Whenever I do the config, it gives me an error saying that i need to install my libxaw debian packages. Well, I used apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to get it. I ran the configure file for the plugin again, and I then got the error message again, saying that I needed to install my libxaw package. So I then used the command apt-get install libxaw7, and it said that the libxaw packages were already installed and updated. And now I'm stuck in a rut. If anyone could help me that would be great. Another question I have is about kaffeien. This media player won't give me video and says that a .dll file is missing or corrupt or something. Just wondering how i can fix that as well. thanks again.

    have you installed the mplayer codecs?

    edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include
    Code:
    deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
    replace unstable with whatever you are running
    then
    Code:
    apt-get update
    apt-get install w32codecs

    I got the kaffeine to work using the codecs that you specified, thank you.
    But:

    W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

    I get that error message after EVERYTHING that I do using apt-get commands. Is this bad, or is just i need to update the source list? In addition, I still can't load my mozilla plugin. Maybe it has something to do with those errors that are posted?/?? It's real annoying having to download the file, then play the file through kaffeine.

    The mplayer plugin from Mozilla is great from this. It is on the plugins page on their site.
