freeplayer for Debian
---------------------

This package is useless without a FreeBox, ie the modem of the French
ADSL IP provider "Free" (http://www.free.fr)

As such, most of the remainding documentation is in french.


Debian does not allow vlc to encode MPEG-2 stream (see #440216 and #440508)
so this version of freeplayer has been patched to ask vlc to encode
in MPEG-1. This means that more resources (network bandwidth, ...) are
required.


The 'html-rs.pdf' has been removed from the upstream: no source (and no
license) is provided. This file documents the HTML extension used by the
freeplayer. You can get it in the upstream tarball if you really need it.
  As a repackaging was needed, the sources of the 'vlc' program was removed:
vlc is already in the Debian distribution (so not recompiled in this package)
