I always just use mplayer from the command line, it seems the best way for me... YMMV. Read "man mplayer", and edit ~/.mplayer/config appropriately. >But that doesn't appear to affect KDE integrated DragonPlayer or Kmplayer, >that is, they still don't play MP4s. Not sure how to get them to work. Thanks > My advice was not really meant to help with kde-specific stuff, as I know nearly nothing about it. I was just trying to help you play videos. There are certainly better newbie-friendly choices for desktop, BTW (gnome and xfce come to mind). Probably kde is best left to kde experts, or at least that was my impression the few times I played around with it. -- ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ Indulekha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
