Media players/codec packages?

I was running Ubuntu "Breezy Badger", and just switched with a fresh install of "Dapper Drake", and everything was going well.......until I realised all my vids and music no longer work.

I don't remember the name of the programs I had before, and I completely forgot to back any of that up. Oh well, starting all over I guess.

What can anyone reccommend for either a media playing program, or are there any codec packs I can just install for the basic player provided with Ubuntu?

There are no "codec packs"

look at automatix

I like mplayer (and previously) xine along with win32codecs which plays about anything I ever need.

^^ thats exactly what i use.

Try the "Automatix" or "Easy Ubuntu" scripts.

My sentiments exactly, using PCLinuxOS.
