Fix to play local files on Debian testing (stretch)

Spotify needs older versions of libavcodec, libavformat and libavutil to play local files. I found this fix for Ubuntu and I checked the steps that are needed for Debian. This is just dirty fix and it includes to install Ubuntu packages but it works.

To get local files playing, simply follow the steps and run the commands below in a terminal.

• Select your version of Debian, 32 or 64 bit. If you don't know run this command: uname -r
• Launch each command row by row (do not copy paste the whole thing and try to run in terminal)

32-bit / 64-bit

Download correct packages from Ubuntu:

libvpx1 http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/ubuntu_sdk_release/precise/main/base/libvpx1

libavutil51http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/main/base/libavutil51

libavcodec53 http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/main/base/libavcodec53

libavformat53 http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/main/base/libavformat53

Install packeges this way (example with 64-bit DEB packages)

$ sudo dpkg -i libavutil51_0.8.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i libvpx1_1.1.0-1~ubuntu12.04.1~ppa1_amd64.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i libavcodec53_0.8.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i libavformat53_0.8.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
