Hello all. I just upgraded from .85 to .94. I see that there are additional dependencies. Some of these dependencies are for sound formats I do not utilize (OGG/Vorbis/Musepack).
Any way to avoid the proliferation of "optional" dependencies? I imagine this will be a challenge until a GUI installer comes to light.
This presents a special issue for me because my media center system is not connected to the internet. It's easy to download the .deb package onto a flash drive and install. Installing dependencies and their respective dependencies is non-trivial off-line.
Stability on v.85 has been fantastic for me! Thanks to all the developers and testers.

It was a bit of a tradeoff between requiring them so things just work vs making them optional and handling the questions about why some things don't work.
Since it's just the encoders, I could see removing them from the dependencies and maybe handling the missing encodings with a popup box or some such.
