Debian Multimedia :: Can't Watch NFL.com Video But Works In Ubuntu?
Jul 2, 2010
If you go to [URL].. and pick any video it will play the commercial but not the video. I have 64 bit version of flash installed on ubuntu and it plays fine. Any ideas why it does not play. I chose a random video to see what I mean. You can post the link below to see.[URL].. how to make it play on Debian. I have flash and sun java plugin installed.
I'm using Dell inspiron 1210 and installed netbook remix 10.10 recently. But I have trouble with watching video files with any players, including built-in player, SMPlayer, VLC media player.
Video is not appear with those players and can see only black screens. Sound works well. I think there are some troubles with codecs, But though I installed some codecs and restricted-extra, there are no improvements. What should I do to see video with this system? Those video files can be watched with my desktop;Ubuntu 10.04 and VLC player so I think files has no problem. Dell inspiron 1210 specification; Intel Atom Z530, GMA500, 1GB Ram. GMA500 driver has installed.
Ubuntu 9.10. I can still watch videos that I have downloaded. Whenever I watch a video online, no matter which browser, it crashes, goes back to the login screen, when I log back in all windows have been closed.
EDIT: It doesn't crash if I'm playing a video but on a different tab in my browser, I'm pretty sure this means it is a problem with the screen but I may be wrong.
I'm using a Samsung NC10 netbook. It has always worked before.
And another thing, I used to be able to use Extra visual effects but now it says it can't find drivers, where can I find drivers for my screen?
when I want to play a video file. The video is missing but the audio remains.Also, when i play .mp3 files using totem I have no visualizations on the video screen, like this:Video files such as .avi:(Audio is well).
I am trying to use the s video port on my presario 2800t to watch videos on my tv. I have plugged the S Video cable into the back of an RF box. So how do I get the computer to send a video signal through the s video port?
Recently I moved to Debian Squeeze from Ubuntu 10.10. I've a bunch of avi, wmv and flv files. I use VLC media player and I'm unable to the see the video on them. w64codecs is already installed. Yet, I could only hear the audio and the VLC screen is pitch black. How do I get the video to work ?
I am using Lenny i386 and amd64, have installed flash 10 from abode but cannot watch TED videos. They are working though with other resent distros like mint, mepis, community remix F12,1. Does anybody know what codecs are needed to enable their playback? Unfortunately I could not find anything relative by searching under TED in this forum.
I have a Zune and I know of the issue of not talking well w/ linux... What portable video / MP3 player works well w/ Ubuntu w/o going the route of wine or Virtualbox as I do not want to waste a day or two getting those hacks to work
I have no problem playing all videos and sound files. I have installed most codecs and propriety software. I can play all downloaded .flv videos from all the sites except one. When I open the .flv file from this site, I get "internal data stream error."
i'm running ubuntu 8.04 with firefox 3.6.6 and the add-on shockwave flash 9.0 r277. my video works great at sites like videos, abcnews.com, and cbsnews.com. but it does not work at msnbc.com. i just get a blank, black panel with the label "msnbc.com video player" at the top.
the problem appears unique to the msnbc.com web site. any idea what it could be? i've used other machines running different versions of ubuntu and ff and have had no problems viewing msnbc.com video.
Is it normal that you can't watch YouTube videos after a fresh install? It comes with something called GNU Gnash but it doesn't work at all in Iceweasel.
I been struggling with this since Karmic and I know others have as well. This is really the only thing making me keep a Windows install around for my personal stuff.
Problem: Convert .TS files to iPod or really any smaller format keeping A/V sync after edit. I can covert my .TS file perfectly if I do not edit it but I want to just do a simple, quick trim of 2 mins from beginning and end.
HandBrake with convert the file perfectly but cannot trim. Avidemux does a great job on the video but I always have to play with the audio shift to get it in sync. It is usually betwenn -250ms to -1000ms off but I cannot count on it. If I run the video through DGIndex in Wine or view it with Mediainfo both programs detect the an offset problem but they are always wrong by almost 500ms and it is never constant.
Regular video editing I have pretty good luck with my normal DV files and I could even run the .TS files through other programs but it is too time consuming to be useful form this simple task. Anytime I want to take my recorded TV .TS files I cannot edit them quickly without making a full project out of it in Openshot Cinelerra, etc.
Has anyone found a quick, reliable way to do some lite video trimming in Ubuntu and keep A/V sync without having to resort to any Windows programs?
EDIT: Also I really do not want to resort to have to demux separately either. I know I am asking a lot but I got spoiled with a couple of Windows programs that will edit without reencode programs like VideoReDo can do the editing and converting all at once (for $100 !).
i'm using ubuntu since 8.04, and the current (9.10) is a fresh install on new hdd.the problem was the same each version (8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10) - while i'm playing the video (no matter if i use mplayer [smplayer], gstreamer [totem] or adobe flash plugin [videos]) the playback freezes randomly for about 5-10 sec. during the freeze the movie is still played, i can hear the sound is ok. if i press [space] in smplayer it pauses the playback, so the responses for keyboard actions are ok. not for the mouse clicks however. i can still move the cursor around the screen but it seems the system is not aware of it (clicking on the "pause" button doesnt pause the movie). except the cursor, nothing changes on the screen (if the im [pidgin] window was blinking because of new message, it freezes etc etc).
is there any kind of log i could look into just to try figuring out the problem?it is impossible to watch any movie on my pc (currently i don't have tv)i installed windows on external hdd once and it played videos fine so i suppose it's not hardware problem .
Every time i try to watch a video, it says that i need to install plugins and stuff. i already did all of that. I even went to the software center and downloaded the restricted file thing that had the flash player in it.
it wasn't like this when i first signed on but now i cant watch video in full screen without it being choppy. anyone else have this problem? how do i know if i have the most up to date flash player installed and video drivers?
Everyone always told me Ubuntu is a perdy Speedy OS. Im thinking otherwise so far, unless Im missing something. Basic problem where i see the lack of speed compaired to when this same machine is running windows 7 comes to web browsing. Mainly ..... vids. i downloaded Flash from the software center and downloaded java with the help of some commands i looked up. I cant watch more than about 8 seconds of video before it buffers. This common?
I have an integrated intel video and latest xserver-xorg-video-intel driver(using only stable repo). Now I wanna watch high-res video. From the bits of info collected from all over internet I understood that I need to:
1.aptitude install libdrm libva.
2.compile or find the .deb mplayer-vaapi and install it.
3.add -vo vaapi -va vaapi to the mplayer command line in gnome-mplayer.
My question : is that correct or did I miss something? Do I have to compile latest libdrm and libva or the ones from the squeeze repo will be good? Do I need kms enabled, i.e. install firmware-linux-nonfree?
After some problems using Miro applications I finally start it but I cannot use it because when I wanna download it can't. Also it cannot open the feeds. I think that my problem is related to the fact that I am using proxy for Internet.How can I get the application to work? I have set the proxy settings from yast -> Proxy
I've just downloaded fedora 13 and wanted to watch a video on ...... I needed to download the latest version of adobe. So I was able to download it but not able to use it and watch the video. Watch should i do? Is there another program I can use to watch the video or am i doing something wrong.
I'm learning a foreign language. There are several online sites that have Flash video in the language I'm learning (e.g., Hulu), which is great. Unfortunately, they have English subtitles, which is (depending on who you ask) somewhere between "annoying" and "actively harmful to my learning".When I'm watching them in a window, I can just move them near the bottom of the screen, or put another window over them. That's awkward, but it kind of works.But I'd like to watch them full-screen, on my TV set. Full-screen Flash doesn't let me put any window on top of it.Is there a way to watch an online Flash video but block out part of it?
I'm trying to watch live streaming video on a Slackware box I have connected to a television. I can get Flash to play, but that's almost always pre-recorded (and I'm trying to watch live sports.) The site I go to (which works on Windows) is [URL]. They provide streams that they collect somehow, but they're in different formats. (Some are in Windows Media, some are in Real, some are in quicktime, etc.) I'm using Firefox as a browser, but I could use something else. Beyond the default Slackware (13.0) installation, what additional software do I need?
I have cent os 5.5 installed on my laptop and i tried watching online videos in fullscreen mode but it does not opens a full screen. I have firefox 3.6.11 and I have already tried preloading library using LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 .
Still cannot watch a flash video in full screen for more than 1 minute before it freezes/hangs. Ridiculous that this bug has been around for YEARS and no one took the time to fix it for new versions.
I'm using the stock nouveau driver that ships with Jessie, and loads by default. I installed this card during my botched attempt to upgrade from Wheezy. This is a fresh install, and DPMS isn't working right.
I can run "xset dpms force off", and the screens will blank. I even see the "HDMI signal lost" screen of both (identical) monitors. However, before the power LEDs of either monitor go orange (instead of blue) the screens come back on as if I had made mouse or keyboard input. If I've locked the screen with xscreensaver, the screens are blank (I use only the blank hack). I've forgone the use of xscreensaver for now, believing it to be contributing to the problem. If I run "xset dpms force off" now, the screens blank, but the "HDMI signal lost" screen doesn't show, and the screens immediately unblank.
Here's the output of "xset q":
Code: Select allxset q Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000 XKB indicators: 00: Caps Lock: off 01: Num Lock: off 02: Scroll Lock: off 03: Compose: off 04: Kana: off 05: Sleep: off
[Code] ...
It's like something is preventing the screen from going blank, but I don't know what it could be.
I installed the proprietary nvidia driver. Sadly, it does the same thing, so that's one thing I can cross off as the likely culprit.
Ran this command:
Code: Select allxset dpms 0 0 0
So when "xset dpms force off" is called, it powers down the monitor immediately. I will be reverting back to nouveau, and will report whether the problem resurfaces.
