General :: Not Able To Play Mp3 And Video Files On Fedora 11 / Fix It?
Aug 30, 2009
When i open media files as mp3 and video files avi, the player could not find the required plugins. It keeps on searching but at last no plugins are downloaded?
i just finish doing a fresh install of F14 and i have problem with video playback. I have added rpmfusion free and non free as describe in [URL] also Nautilus do not show thumbnail from video files.
[bamf@bamf ~]$ su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...ble.noarch.rpm' Password: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list
[code]....
note: i have vlc, smplayer and ffmpegthumbnailer installed on the system but still no video thumbnails in Nautilus.
What is the best/easiest way to get ALL multimedia codecs both free nd non free so i can play all types of audio an video files? Like xvid quicktime, avi windows video files etc etc
i am a newbie in Linux. i have installed fedora 10.. whenever i try to play audio/video files in totem, it says additional plugins are required..MPEGAV-1MPEGAV-2is missing.
Just recently converted and I'm running both Ubuntu 11.04 (the Natty Narwhal?) (about 10 gig partitioned) and Windows Vista.
As said in the title, All DVD's and Video files won't play well: DVD's are pixelated most times, jumpy and sometimes the sound is scratchy - sound usually sorts itself out in a minute or so, but not always and similarly with any video files, like MP4s and other ripped files. I usually use VLC but others also don't work well or not at all. When playing MP4's do work it usually freezes the rest of the computer and I have to force switch off by the main switch as nothing works.
I've tried out tips like the following from users with previous problems on Ubuntu forums but still nothing seems to work: I've installed libdvdcss2 and the latest vlc. I've uninstalled all my players and reinstalled them.
I don't believe it's a restricted format problem as the DVD drive works fine in vista as does all the video files.
I wondered if perhaps my system specs aren't good enough for Ubuntu: intel(r) celeron(r) d cpu 220@1.2ghz 1.5ghz 2 gigs ram 32 bit operating system I drew this while on vista - when I tried to check my system specs using these commands on Ubuntu the "commands were not found": sudo ishw -html > mySpecs.html and sudo 1shw
do not suggest VLC because i read on the official mkv site and several others that vlc shouldn't be used to play mkv files because they glitch sometimes
i have heard that mplayer was a good mkv viewer but for some reason the voices aren't there anymore (they are in vlc but it glitches)
what is the best video player that can be used to play mkv files
not able to play any AV files. i have installed 10.10 on my desktop,i even installed VLC player,but if i run any audio,video file am not able to hear anything,even though the player volume and system volume is maximum..I am unable to hear even the boot up sound that we get hear when we login into ubuntu.

I have been using my HTPC OpenSuse 11.2 for for some months now and everything is great, I'm very happy that I made the switch to Linux. Today for some reason none of my avi files are able to play. When I try a DVD there is also no play back of the video. Sound is working but video is not there. I have tried Kaffeine, VLC, SM Player. All no luck.
Here is the output after checking with Red Dwarf's troubleshoot thread:
Whenever I go into the folders they're stored in and try to open them. They close so fast, in fact, that it's only after switching over to Konqueror that I found the files simply will not open. VLC/Kaffeine appears to load for a few seconds and then closes again without any indication of a bug or problem - it just doesn't work.
Been trying to sort this out for the last two days now, but I'm a complete simpleton with computers/linux and don't know anything about using the terminal, etc. (I can't even install stuff without using webpins) but now I'm stuck and searching around for people with similar problems really hasn't turned up anything that is familiar or understandable.
I run Ubuntu 9.04 on with proprietary NVidia driver 180.44.When I change anything in the nvidia-settings, e.g. screen resolution, brightness, second screen etc, everything works fine - except for the fact that I can't play any video files in any player. Sound is there, players don't display any error messages, but the image is black. Flash video within browsers is fine, though.Things go back to normal with the new settings kept after restarting X. However, having to restart X and lose my desktop set up every time when I just want to connect my laptop to my office screen is highly inconvenient.Is this a bug or expected behaviour that I have to live with?
I am using Lucid lynx and trying to play a video files with 300++ megs on it but only shows 21 seconds.. and a writing in the screen Codec Error : Use windows media player
I can play all files and already download the ubuntu restriced format .. But why can't i play this one ? Really liked the movie tough ..
How do i set up firefox to play video on firefox? I've got java script installed and the latest version of flash player yet when i try to play a you tube vid it doesn't work I'm Running FC12v
I want to play a video thru VLC player as soon as when system boots up. is it possible using crontab or any other way to go about it??? Also I want to play a file by telneting to a remote server (eg: the file is present is /media/disk/movie.mpg). is it possible to write a script and execute them using crontab.
Full HD video files (1920x1080 MOV) recorded by a Canon DSLR camera cannot be played by any video players (totem, mplayer, and VLC) in F14. It is likely due to a recent update of the system, because the files can be played about 2 months ago. What's the problem? I'm using x86_64 bit Fedora 14.
My system (Fedora 14 2.6.35.12-88.fc14.x86_64) just freezes everytime I'm trying to play a video. when playing videos online through firefox, it works. everything is fine. when i'm trying to play a file from the disk, with Totem / VLC it just opens and freeze. I get no respond from the system but the mouse pointer. Had to restart couple times because of that.
Anyone else struggling to play iplayer video? I've got the proprietary Flash plugin, which means it's probably not this "SWF Authentication" thing that there's been so much talk about.
I've rebooted, tried all sorts of tinkering, it loads the applet (I can see that Flash is loading OK because other things work, and right clicking on the applet gives the Flash menu)
when i try to play a video, from internet it is showing the message 'Either javascript turned off or download and install latest adobe flash player'.

I have had F11 installed for over a week. When I play a video or a sound file it plays fast. All the audio is whinny and voices are high like its playing to fast. If i match the time it does play about 6 seconds fast.
I made a video with PiTiVi and rendered it in quicktime format and then went and played it on a Mac and the color was all green and really messed up. I rendered the same video in asf format and went and played it on a Windows computer at it was the same way.
