Package: mplayer Version: 1.0~rc1-11 Severity: wishlist This is quite low priority but I thought I'd report it anyway.
I find it somewhat irritating that mplayer not only suggests me to get proprietary software (via debconf) but also claims that I "need" to get proprietary software even when the file plays just fine with free software. The offending line "You need to upgrade/install the binary codecs package." is one of the many lines printed when I run the following commands: wget http://web.mae.cornell.edu/ccsl/temp/EvanMalone/FabAtHome/SqueezeBulbDemoMovie.wmv mplayer SqueezeBulbDemoMovie.wmv MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2-DFSG-free (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) processor (Family: 6, Model: 4, Stepping: 2) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.
