Re: Remove debian-multimedia.org repository
What pidsley and lcariero said.
Although Debian now includes many codecs and other proprietary (and therefore potentially problematic from a "free" software perspective) material in the non-free section of its repos, you still need a source like deb-multimedia if you absolutely must have, for example, Acrobat Reader or Handbrake.

Re: Remove debian-multimedia.org repository
Yes, I had to use it to get handbrake & python-tk (needed for PySolFC2.0 that I always play).

Re: Remove debian-multimedia.org repository
By the way, I just had a look at the current debian-multimedia.org site. Looks like it's some kind of Russian motorcycle marketing site now. 
Doesn't seem right to me for such a concern to have a .org domain.

Re: Remove debian-multimedia.org repository
@pv hardly the kind of spam site you'd expect, either. debian users who also are motorcycling russians is probably quite a slim percentile to justify buying a whole site.

Re: Remove debian-multimedia.org repository
Maybe Debian looks like something motorcycle-related in Cyrillic?

Re: Remove debian-multimedia.org repository
IIRC since wheezy went stable all multimedia related packages are in the standard repo's.

Re: Remove debian-multimedia.org repository
^ Nope; as I mentioned before, Handbrake and Acroread are still not in the main Waldorf non-free repo. I'm sure there are several others as well.

Re: Remove debian-multimedia.org repository
Probably was just temporary; I connected to it just now. All servers have to go down for maintenance every now and then.
