[tde-users] Re: WTH? I can't find an MP4 player for local files, what am I missing? - P.S. CORRECTION

I only ever use VLC now for playing actual DVDs or the iso files of videos. And there are many others, also good. Echoing deloptes: Why Stretch? I notice that you tend to stick with older releases. (I seem to recall that you were running Wheezy on some machine ...) But Devuan Beowulf (= Buster) works great for me, at least as well as my old Jessie machine; and I never did warm up to Ascii/Stretch. Like yourself, I imagine, I hate change, hate the need to rebuild my system that was working just fine. But once that release is no longer supported, it doesn't make much sense to keep using it for years beyond its security updates; whereas Buster/Beowulf LTS will be supported for -- how long is it? -- 5-7 more years. Bill P.S. I made a mistake and said Beowulf = Stretch, whereas I meant Buster. Sorry about that. It's not quite 4 in the afternoon, and this night owl is just now having my first cup of morning coffee.
