Debian Multimedia :: Windows Media Player Plug-in / Codec For Rhythmbox / Iceweasel

Dec 7, 2015

[URL]So, I want to hear the state-owned Portuguese radio that plays Classical Music, called "Antena 2", by either (1) clicking its website's listening "popup" window - [URL]- or by (2) adding such radio to my Rhythmbox list.

And, I would like to hear such a radio without having to install the proprietary "Flash" plug-in... And, if I'm forced to install any proprietary plug-in, I would rather install some "gstreamer" package(?) instead. But, preferably, what I would like, would be to use a Free Software alternative, if possible.

But, in the meantime, this is what happens...

1. If I click the above-mentioned link, to the corresponding "popup" window ([URL]), I can't hear anything.

2. If I click on a link at the bottom of that same "popup" window, that says "Listen to the broadcast in Windows Media Player" - [URL] - I'm sent to an identical listening "popup" window/page, where I still can't hear anything - and whose difference is that, now, the link at the bottom of the page says "Listen to the broadcast in Flash" [URL]

That is, this radio's website presents me two alternatives. That are, to listen to it

(1) using the "Flash" technology ([URL]), or

(2) using some "Windows Media Player" technology/codec/format ([URL])

The first of which I would very much like to not have to install, and the second of which I suspect there might be some plug-in package for, that I can install, that will make it possible for me to hear this radio.

And, the reason I suspect the latter, is because, if I try to add the link to the "Windows Media Player" page ([URL]) to my Rhythmbox's list of radios, I get the error message: "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."

So, which package(s) do I have to install, to be able to listen to this radio on the web - or, even better, through my Rhythmbox list of radios?

Ubuntu :: Windows Media Player Plug-in For 10.10 - Get Sound - No Video

Mar 3, 2011

Recently I decided to leave Windows and go with Linux. To try out I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 and I can't be happier. I'm still getting used to how things work around here. Anyway I have an account at a website where I watch free TV, thing is the website uses Windows Media Player to stream the TV channels. I downloaded a bunch of plug-ins like VLC player, MPlayer and some other but all I get is the sound from the channels, no video other than some stupid graphics like when you play a song in Windows Media Player. So I wanted to ask you guys if you can help a brother out and please be as detailed as possible as to what to do because I'm still getting used to working in this environment.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Windows Media 9 Codec: No Sound In Mplayer / Totem / Vlc

May 15, 2010

how I fixed my sound problems, that happened only for "windows media 9" videos, after struggling for days changing the players etc. (using Ubuntu lucid 10.04 up to date)First search for "Ubuntu install w32codecs" (or w64codecs depending on your system bus width) and... install them as root or 'sudo'

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install w32codecs (or w64codecs)

After updating totem to the very latest version (May 12, 3 days ago) the problem happened to be likely from the source: gstreamer. So I tried to install the latest version of gstreamer, and it worked (the default one packaged in Ubuntu is dated 2008...).

Code:

try
{
install latest developer version
}

[code].....

Software :: Mandriva MPEG 1 Layer 3 Codec For Rhythmbox Music Player

Apr 1, 2010

I would have never thought something so simple could be so difficult. I am trying to install the mp3 codecs for rhythm box music player and I can't find the commands to do so online or anywhere. I did this no problem in fedora 12. I just don't know where to look for Mandriva how to's. Would I just update the gstreamer plugins to get the mp3's to work?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Way To Install Windows Media Player 12 Through Wine ?

Oct 21, 2010

I am really fedup from playing .mpg (1080i) videos on linux. I tried to use smplayer or vlc but the video plays so poor, I got like scales (lines) on the video like on the screenshot embedded below (the screenshot I found on the net).

When I play the same video on windows 7 its so great with windows media player 12, when I play it with smplayer or vlc on windows 7 I got the same performance like in linux, its like windows media player has its own mpg hardware accelerator!

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 10.04 VLC & Movie Player - Say Can't Find The Wma Codec

May 12, 2010

This never happened with Ubuntu 8.10-9.10, but both my video players, VLC and Movie Player, say they can't find the wma codec (actually it says wmas, and this is referring to videos not audio) and says that this can't be put right, even though at the same time these players have begun to play the video correctly.

I've got all the updates and the Restricted Extras, etc. Everything seems to be working. This is on an Acer Aspire One, dual booting with W7, installed from USB stick.

Fedora X86/64bit :: Rhythmbox Keeps Asking For Windows Media Audio Decoder Plugin / Fix It?

Jul 4, 2009

My music library contains some old .wma files and each time I try to run Rhythmbox, a window pops up saying that:

<Name of current song> requires an Additional plugin. The following plugin is required: Windows Media Audio Decoder. Do you want to search for this now ?

If I press the search button I get a response saying that the package was not found. Then I press the close button, only to see the same dialog popping up again. The funny thing is that all this is happening while the current songs is not in WMA format and it is actually playing

I am running fedora 11 and have configured both rpm-fusion and livna repositories.

Debian :: Iceweasel - Installing Adobe Flash Player Plugin

Aug 9, 2009

i am a proud newbie user of debian linux. the desktop i use is xfce. i have iceweasel as the web browser. it cannot access flash content like videos videos and some others because the adobe flash plugin is not installed. i've done the following without success. i downloaded flash_player_10_linux.tar from adobe's site, unpacked it to get libflashplayer.so. but under /usr/lib/iceweasel, there is no plugins folder to put it in. there is, however, a broken link called plugins. then i created a plugins folder under home/myaccount/.mozilla and pasted the libflashplayer.so file over there. i restarted iceweasel, but it cannot still detect flash content.

then i ran apt-get install of jre and downloaded all java packages. however, while installation it gave an error saying, "cannot overwrite iceweasel/plugins". this came most probably because as mentioned earlier there is no plugins folder under iceweasel to begin with. on running the about : plugins command, i get "no plugins installed". i then deleted the plugins folder from .mozilla and directly pasted the libflashplayer.so file under usr/lib/iceweasel (since it contained many other .so files). how to enable iceweasel to enable the adobe flashplayer plugin.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: RhythmBox Unable To See Twonky Media Server

I have been trying to get this setup working for a day now, I have:
QNAP NAS box running Twonky 5.1.3
I can browse to it and use the web browser to see all of the media I have uploaded to it. I have a ubuntu lucid clean insalled system with rhythbox and the coherence DLNA plugin. I cannot get the rhythmbox to see the media on the server. Very briefly at one point I saw the server name appear as RB started, but it disappeared immediately. I have something like 5K songs up mostly in MP3 format.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Mp3 Player On 10.04. Rhythmbox Fails?

Jan 12, 2011

I just want to play mp3s - podcasts - from the web. MoviePlayer which works, will not allow me to move the slider to skip to a new place in the MP3 file. RhythmBox just shuts down when I start it. So it's DOA. We know? Did I miss an update? Not supported? I'd like to play from a website, but the website has a link to the audio and a "flash" player, and I don't want to go through the mess right now to install flash.

I tried to look for FireFox plug-ins to play, but when I tried one, it installed some gstreamer stuff and then it didn't work anyway.So, do we have a working Firefox plug-in that someone can recommend to play MP3 audio directly from the web with a URL to the MP3 file? Oh and skip around in the file by clicking a slider. Failing that, and maybe also, do we have an MP3 application that plays local MP3 files and allows you to move the slider to skip around in the audio.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Rhythmbox Music Player Does Not Play WMAs?

Feb 12, 2011

I have noticed that when I import my music folder, it never had all the albums I have. So, when I looked, I noticed that all the songs that were not imported had the wma file extension. MP3 is fine, I did have problems with that last time.

I have a lot of good songs encoded with wma. So, how do I get Rhythmbox to play these wma sound files? I have done some searching, but it does not seem to work. I have tried using gstreamer-0.10-plugins-ugly and multiverse. I even did a restart, which was not really necessary as it has nothing to do with hardware.
