Hello Eduard.

I will like help you, but I can't because I am working on limited
hardware. I'm sorry :(
The hard disk have 10 GB capacity, with two partitions:

user@machine:~$ df -h
File system                       Size   Used   Free   %Use  Mount on
rootfs                                 4,2G   3,5G  488M     88%      /

As you can seen,  the free space is low. I am working on thesis and
can't risking to loss the normal performance. But, perhaps this can help you:

I needed install an operative system on this machine. Obviously, I
decided by Debian Wheezy with IceWM. When I needed install a
program.exe, and wine_1.4.1/winetricks had problems, I decided install
playonlinux. Because to a bug on library, and other minors aspects, I
updated all system to backports. So, I could install
playonlinux/wine_1.6.0, and all ok.

Later had problems with video player. The cause was the
libdvdnav4_5.0.1-1~bpo70+1 package.

When I tried to play a video from terminal with the command line:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ mplayer2 -vo -xv /home/user/Videos/video.rmvb > videolog.text
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got the following message:

--- ---- ---- --- ---- --- --- -- --- --- --- --- -- -- --- ---- ----
mplayer2: error while loading shared libraries: libdvdnavmini.so.4:
cannot open shared object file: No such or directory
--- ---- ---- --- ---- --- --- -- --- --- --- --- -- -- --- ---- ----

Later, I asked:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ldd $(which mplayer2) | grep libdvdnavmini.so.4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got:

--- ---- ---- --- ---- --- --- -- --- --- --- --- -- -- --- ---- ---- --- -
libdvdnavmini.so.4 => not found
--- ---- ---- --- ---- --- --- -- --- --- --- --- -- -- --- ---- ---- --- --

I solved downgrade the package to version libdvdnav4_4.2.0+20120524-2 (wheezy).

The solution I found here:

I hope that this information will help you.

Regards.
