Eventually, though, even if you stay off the Internet, the media players your unsupported Stretch and/or Wheezy systems will stop playing some formats, because they keep changing things. And like I said, Buster/Beowulf will be supported for years to come. So -- when things in your life get more bearable -- consider upgrading your system.
I must disagree - no one is changing the standards. At least I am not aware of things changing in already released formats. What may not work are new formats where you may not have the new codec.
Hmmm, well, I remember it happening in the past, back when I was still running KDE3, and resisted upgrading. However, that was many years ago, so my memory is a little fuzzy.
