CentOS 5 :: Regarding Rpmfusion For Installing Vlc Media Player?
Dec 4, 2009
I am a start level person in linux with switching between linux and windows projects. I am trying to install vlc media player. But as observed through net, it requires rpmfusion first, it has some links about finding requisite tools and installing them.
1) First step: installing rpm fusion:
TRY1:
I went to "www.rpmfusion.org/configuration" and used the following command:
*********************************************
# su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/testing/5/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-5-0.1.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/testing/5/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-5-0.1.noarch.rpm'
*********************************************
But I got the following result:
*********************************************

I run a Home server using Debian, and have been using it as a backup server and using it to host a voice server. I wanted to try streaming music/video so I can enjoy music at remote locations, and I have used VLC media player before, but never on Linux. I located the VLC media player package on the Synaptics Package manger, and told it to download it along with the other additional packages, and it said it had to remove some old packages and incompatible ones as well, so I said go ahead. Well, the screen blanked out at some point during the installation process, so i rebooted the server. Now it will go thru the whole loading process, and where it is supposed to prompt me to log in, it gives me a grey background and my cursor, which does react, but nothing else happens, and the activity light on the server does not flash. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I would enjoy being able to log back into my server XD
I have some knowledge of how to use and work with Linux, but only from what I have read and messed around with.
I am using openSuse10.3 GNOME. While I am trying to install VLC player I am getting lot of errors like libmpeg2 not found, wxWidgets not found, postproc not found and also some errors like FRIBIDI. For the last two weeks I am trying to install all the versions of VLC player like vlc 0.8.6b, vlc0.9.8a, vlc1.0. But installation was not successful.
i recently installed vlc media player 0.8.6 in yellow dog linux 6.2 on my ps3 by following this procedure..[url]... i then used the firefox add-on mediaplayerconnectivity (0.9.2) to link video files for quick time, real video, flash (flv)etc... to vlc as the default player for these video formats. (note: i had to manually add vlc as the flv default player, b/c mediaplayerconnectivity did not automatically do this.)
now...on videos when i double-click on the little movie film icon to play the streaming file through vcl the player opens, but neither the video or audio play even though i have vlc setup as the default player. i have tried playing some quick time (mov) and windows media video (wmv) streaming video and they work fine. i noticed that there's a new update (0.9.5) for vlc. do i need that update to make sure videos (flv files) video will play? if so, how do i install the 0.9.5 update after downloading it in yellow dog linux 6.2?
I've been trying to install the Fuppes media server onto CentOS and have had a few difficulties. I had to do a build from the source (svn build 578), then configure, make and make install. So far so good.Once I try to run fuppes, I get the error:[ERROR] Failed to bind socket to : 8.15.7.107:0.The documentation I've searched so far suggests that there is a config file that needs to be set with the appropriate ip address, but the file doesn't exist as the program hasn't started up yet!
First step is installing and enabling the epel repository. (This is done here: [URL] Next step is to do the actual install " yum install media tomb" Next you have two choices to setup priorities with the repositories, or you can go to /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.conf edit using vim or your flavor of text editor find all instances in this repository of enabled=1 and set them to enabled=0
Or set up priorities in the repos. Next is to edit the config for mediatomb by going to /etc/mediatomb.conf ## Network interface on which the server will run, you need to edit this! MT_INTERFACE="NOTSET" and change the "NOTSET" to the interface you are going to use to. To start media tomb as sudo " service mediatomb start"
Ubuntu10.10.i want a media player with all media codecs.it should able to play all formats of videos and audios so please suggest me a media player.(i used km player in windows i want a media player like that)
I started with a fresh install of fedora 12. I have never encountered this problem before but yum seems to stall when I install rpmfusion packages. I have tried this multiple times, it works as long as I do not install them.
It stalls after this line.
Code:
I am guessing it has to do with the rpmfusion servers/mirrors? I just want to install the propreitary wireless and graphics card drivers, can this be done without using rpmfusion? (i.e. alternatives to kmod-wl and kmod-nvidia)
in software.opensuse.org site if we serch for a software the result will be like the following
vlc KDE:Unstablelayground/openSUSE_11.4_KDE_Distro_Factory This is the stripped version of the VLC media Player. VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video
[more] 1-Click Install Manual Package Download Go to OBS Project i586 vlc-1.1.6.99-1.11.i586.rpm src vlc-1.1.6.99-1.11.src.rpm x86_64 vlc-1.1.6.99-1.11.x86_64.rpm
if i like to keep the setup(rpm) of the software which i should chose the above?
Crystal Player has one very good playback speed troubleshooting feature - it uses large buffer of decoded frames (about 50% of RAM). Is there any player with such features in ubuntu?
When playing coyright protected DVD's in Ubuntu 10.10: the following errors occur:Movie Player Error message:Error occured Could not read from resourceVLC media Player Error essage:Playback failure:DVDRead could not read block 0.Non copyright protected DVD's play fine
Iam using opensuse 11.1. I want to know which is the best player that can be used in suse, which should support all codecs. I have tried totem player, xine, kaffeine, Noautun etc. But none of them is good. I have tried to install vlc player, but it shows a lot of dependencies too..it was not successful.
I am wondering if there is someone who have succeeded in installing the driver for nVidia GT 330M from RPMFusion in Fedora 13.
I followed the instructions here [url], namely,
1. recreate the initrd manually
2.yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE
It didn't work. I also tried the method mentioned at the section 'Troubleshooting', but it did not either.
The trouble I encountered after rebooting is : The progress bar changed from an icon at the center to three lines at bottom. After the three lines reached at the end, the whole screen just went to blank.
I am guessing that the three lines, instead of the icon, only shows if your video card is not so powerful. And In my case, the reason could be the driver didn't work properly.
I have an NTFS volume on my system which I regularly access from within Ubuntu 9.10, mostly to play the plethora of DVD images (*.iso files) stored there. I use VLC Media Player to watch the content. For some reason, VLC's file browser only shows a small subset of the files by default. I have to select "All Files" instead of "Media Files" to see all the *.iso's.
What's this about? Since they're all the same type of file, I don't understand why some would be viewed as "media files" but others not. If the files were on a Linux-type filesystem (ext3 etc.) I would guess it had something to do with permissions, but I'm not sure how file ownership & permissions apply to a mounted NTFS volume.
I am novic user of linux( ubuntu ). I have installed it on my laptop. But I am not able to play any music player/media player. How could I install media player. either from cd or from internet?
I'm a new Fedora user and I've been downloading some software from the repositories. BUT, I found a problem: I can't play ANY media with ANY player; however, I can hear system sounds but music. I've tried several media players (Exaile, Amarok, Audacius) but none of them can play a song. The format of all my music library is MP3. In the pre-installed Rhytmbox and Totem it says something about codecs and searches for them, but finds none.
Im new to Ubuntu and i was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think Ubuntu's best media player is and how to download it. Im looking for something that can do everything windows media player does.
Since I can't get LinuxMCE diskless mds to work I am going to try and use another approach. What I want to do is be able to store media (pics, audio, ripped dvds) on a central server and access the across the network with a media player in Ubuntu or Kubuntu that I can connect to the TV and entertainment system.
What media player to use and how I should set that up? I might use windows server for the shares just because I am used to it unless theres a better way. I have a pretty beefy server just waiting for media files.
I'm new to the Linux world and I have frankly had hard time using RhythmBox. It's not nearly as user-friendly as iTunes and it's not that I'm any great fan of iTunes! What is a good alternative to RhythmBox that will allow you to play music, download music, and install and play video material in a clean and easy way? I've heard that MPlayer is a decent option but I know there are others as well.
It seems to me that there is a media player that can play .iso files. which one or ones do this so that I don't have to install the dozen or so that are in the repositories.
I have just shifted from Ubuntu based system to Fedora 12, but am unable to install vlc media player on this OS. I searched for the same here and followed the instructions as:
