The vast majority of codecs are already included in MX. w64codecs (which originated with mplayer but is no longer used by it) was last available in debian stretch/MX-17.
If there's a particular file type giving you problems let us know.

I'm just trying to fix the problem of videos freezing but the sound continues; it all started when I switch sound cables from the monitor to the speaker , but I there is no problem in the other OS install in the same hard drive MX is ; for the past month or so the updates have not been able to update the nvidia driver, but I did not have any problem until a couple of days when I switch cables; thank you responding to my problem.

Not a codecs issue at all then, but a hardware one.

There have been no Nvidia driver updates recently for Debian or MX; this is not a rolling distro.

Deb-Multimedia-Keyring is installed?

Code: Select all

wget https://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/deb-multimedia-keyring/deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb

You have the right deb-multimedia-ppa version?
For MX23 bookworm use in your sources list:

Code: Select all

deb https://www.deb-multimedia.org bookworm main non-free

or

Code: Select all

deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org bookworm main non-free

---

But you can w64codecs download from server deb-multimedia => https://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/non ... _amd64.deb
New mplayer-1.5 avaible here => http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/deb/pool/main/mplayer/

[asqwerth]

Just be aware before enabling the deb-multimedia repo that @Stevo has warned many times that it doesn't use standard Debian package number versioning.

So there may be confusion during updates as to which version of certain packages are newer - those MX has already backported, or a deb-multimedia one.

so why is it not affecting Mint that is install in the same M.2 drive.

and no I don't have any of the multimedia repos install; MX has been flawless up to now so I use as it is given; but it is no use if I can't watch videos ; I did try switching drivers but xorg drivers have the same problem ; so is it time to reinstall MX ???

[CharlesV]

What is the kernel version of your mint install ? (And is it a liquorix version? )

There have been a few reports of some issues with 6.9.x liquorix kernels and one of the major work with them is in sound drivers. You *might* just try loading a 6.6.x liquorix kernel and see if it makes any difference.

[jarp53]

Mint uses 5.15 generic
I try all the kernel available and the problem did not go away so I left it on the 6.9
