Whenever I try to install vlc I get a ton of errors shown below. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this, but vlc will not play my media files after installing. Any ideas?
VLC Media player has been giving me a few problems and I'm hoping someone here has a fix for this issue.Yesterday I was playing an avi file and my browser, that was also running, froze up in the background. At the same time my video became choppy and started to freeze. I shut down firefox and vlc but when I opened it back up all of my avi files where greyed out. I've posted a request for help on the vlc forums but no one has responded. Has anyone else experienced this problem? It's frustrating because my vlc player will still play dvd's but it won't play any avi files. Oh and I tried the drag and drop option per a suggestion but all I get is sound with no video. Lastly, I should mention that I'm a multi tasker and was also trouble shooting a problem I was having with amarok, which I've since uninstalled. Could amarok have some how screwed up my files? I've even uninstalled an reinstalled vlc but nothing works
How to play audio video files. When i try to run these files it says no suitable plug in found. What should i do. I am using xubuntu 11.04. Should i need to download vlc media player. I am completely newcomer to Linux so try to answer in very simple way.
I just installed Ubuntu on a net book. I'd like hook it up to my car's aux jack and use it to play FLAC files in my car. Is there a an media player that would be good for that? If I could set multiple hot keys I could set one side of the key board for forward and back.
I have installed fedora 8 & i want to play .avi and .wma files in totem media player.. but it asks for a mpeg playback bundle .. where can i get the mpeg play back bundle for free??
I have an ipod classic 160gb, that I sync with my machine at home.
I use Linux at work, and want to just plug my ipod and just listen to the tracks, with all the playlists and such. I don't want to sync nothing, I just want to listen to the tracks as if I was using the ipod itself.
Why? Because this way I can use the usb port.
So, I don't want to manage my ipod in Linux, I just want to listen to the tracks on it in Linux, like it was a local library but it's instead in my ipod.
(I've tried gtkpod, it works to show my files, but I can't play, shuffle, etc. It would be interesting to have a complete audio software to handle everything like it was a local library)
When I download a mp3 file to my hard drive exhale opens and starts playing. How do I stop this it is driving me crazy. Second problem with this is that same mp3 files do not save to my home download folder as I have set in firefox. TYhe files get saved to /temp folder

i just installed 10.10 on my girls laptop (Acer Aspire 5735z) hoping it would fix the old problem i had with playing real dvd's. it didnt. it keeps saying "Could not read from Resource". when i try with VLC is say "Could not read from file". but if i put in a burned movie, it plays fine. i checked and it has libdvdcss2, libdvdnav4, and libdvdread4 installed. i get the same problems with my laptop (toshiba portege m400 tablet) which runs fedora 13.
I have Fedora 11 and I cannot play a windows media stream in Firefox. E.g. http://www.rogersplus.ca/movie.asp?mid=35147# from this site I cannot view trailers in Windows Media Format but I can using Real Player. When I select Windows Media Stream, all I see is a black window in place of video.
I have installed following plugins in Firefox, DivX Browser Plug-in (Geko Media Player 0.9.8), MozPlugger 1.12.1, gecko-mediaplayer 0.9.8, VLC Multimedia Plug-in 1.0.3.
I just installed Fedora 14 (running KDE) on my HP DV6Z-SE. It came pre-packaged with Windows 7 and I am running a dual-boot (I kept Windows for gaming purposes). Anyway, problem is I am unable to play media sounds. I've tried playing my music (all OGG Vorbis) on both DragonPlayer and VLC, to no avail. When I go to Phonon, I have two options for prefered devices, "Redwood HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5600 Series] Digital Stereo (HDMI)" and "Internal Audio Analog Stereo".
When I test them, the Radeon one never plays sound, while the Internal Audio plays the test sound sometimes (rarely). I tried moving the latter up the preference order, but it changed nothing.
I wanted to use cron to play a media file at a certain time (i.e. use it as an alarm clock). However it seems to do nothing. The contents of my crontab is:
I am planning to buy a new system. I am planning to use fedora and windows vista (I have a legal copy with me and I dont want to buy a new one. That's why no windows 7 here).
How shoudl I proceed? Which OS to install first? I believe (from reading the threads) that I should install windows vista first and Fedora second.
The main question I have is this. I heard that HDD makers will no longer ship the current HDD's in Jan. Heard that 512 byte hard drive format is to be replaced by 4KB. I read somewhere that this can cause issues when we go for dual boot. Is this true? In that case, what steps can I take to ensure no problems occur?
I really want to use Vista only for running certain applications which do not run on linux. I have heard WINE can simulate a WIN environment. But is this really true? I mean, can it simulate WIN environments perfectly?
My next question is regarding dual HDD. I am planning to go for 2*500GB HDD instead of 1*1TB HDD... So will it be better if I dedicate one HDD to Vista and 1 HDD to Fedora? (I know it will be a waste of space since I will be using Fedora mainly and hardly aropund 10-20 GB for Vista. But I can access the Vista partitions)
Does fedora play all media formats? I know out of the box it might not.. But does having VLC help?
I dont see any firewall protection in Linux. I have heard of using IPTables, but then how efefctive are those? I will be doing many online transactions and I want my system to be secure. I know Linux is pretty secure. So should I harden the security with a hardware firewall?
I will be watching a lot of DVD movies, AVI movies and some HD movies as well. Does linux have issues rendering HD movies properly? I have read somewhere that fedora has issues while Win is good and Debian/CentOS (Not sure which one was mentioned) is even better. I had a pretty powerful config in teh past and yet I have seen that my Vista machine had trouble rendering a HD movie properly.
I will be buying AMD configuration along with an ATI graphic card (sometimes). Does Fedora have any driver issues?
Firefox 3.6.16 I recently installed Fedora 14. I get this message when I browse to some web pages: Code: Cannot play media.You do not have the correct version of the flash player. I have installed the flash-plugin. And has been installed to the following directory;
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.
When I installed the latest version of Open Office in Fedora 10 I was no longer able to play ASX Video Files. Removing open office does not fix the problem. Also reinstalling mplayer and the gecko media players doesn't fix the problem.
I am trying to get avi files to play; I've managed to get the sound, but no video I tried google-searching but seem to have broken something else - the "package manager".
I read the instructions [URL] however, on one of the instructions I get this:-
Code: [root@bgrlaptop badger_fruit]# yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-nonfree Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-11&arch=i386 error was
[Code]....
how I can recover this and get libdvdcss and support for AVI (oh and MPEG) files?
I need this pretty urgently, otherwise I may have to convert individual files to some other format.I use totem player, it says "The following plugin is required : Windows media speech decoder" but not able to find it any configured software source. Therefore, it plays the file without sound.(attachment 1)I have vlc player, when I try to play wmv, it plays the files but again without sound. (attachment 2).Same with kplayer.
I am having some problems trying to play .wmv files in Fedora 12 KDE. I am attempting to use VLC player, but I get this error:Code:No suitable decoder module:VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmas". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.No suitable decoder module:VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". nfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.I have tried other media plaers too such as totem, Kplayer, Dragon, etc, can not get any of them to work.
I am new to Fedora and I found this forum where I made an account. I have found in Fedora 13, I can not play MP3 files.
The next message I see: Movie Player requires an additional plugin to decode this file. The following plugin is required: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder.
I can't get my media to play. I click on the song I want and it just hangs there. When I go to configure amarok and hit test sound it plays just fine. I've installed the packman repo and followed other instructions on getting media to work but I just get nothing.
I need to play or preferably convert (i.e. to MP3) old SNG files, which contain voice records. From what I could find, it's basically a MIDI created by synthetiser. I think it was recorded by some ancient VLC player. I failed so far to play it on anything I could download.
In my older computer, with Linux Fedora 10, with SMPlayer I can play wmv, avi, flv and mp4 files. In my new computer, with Fedora 13, I cannot play flv files well. They are played with shadows and colour lines.
