General :: Playing Video Files With Gmplayer By Default?
May 22, 2011
I am using debian 6.0.0 The video files are played by default in totem.I like gmplayer. Also I want to make script for intelligently guessing as follows Get all the names of file in <folder-containing-video>. See which of them (among *.srt.*.sub.*.ssa) has maximum number of characters matching with video name. That file will be parameter for sub option .
I saw a desktop entry for gvim which is like gvim -f %F -f means foreground I can try
gmplayer -vo xv -sub what-should-I-write-here %F
Kernel 2.6.21.5, GNU (slackware 12.0). KDE 3.5.7. MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.1.2.
I have a .avi file on the hard (really on a cd-rom, but it's just the same). Being in the GUI (KDE), I do Main Menu>Run Command and then, in the dialog box, I enter 'gmplayer foo.avi'. Gmplayer starts, the picture of a small console is seen on the screen, and the audio from the movie is heard. Just as if I had inserted the CD into a stand alone dvd player but I could not see the image. I compiled and installed mplayer (with GUI support) from the slackbuilds.org sources and script for slackware 12.0, which is the slack version installed in my machine. If I open a terminal (in the GUI) and run gmplayer there I get this:
Code: VIDEOOUT: [VO_XV] It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available. [VO_XV] Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read [VO_XV] DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv! [VO_XV] See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. [VO_XV] Try -vo x11. CPLAYER: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
I know I could do what is suggested by gmplayer but, before that, perhaps I am simply invoking gmplayer in the wrong way. That is: there are at least to ways: using the Run Command dialog box and opening a terminal and running as a cli command.
How con i install win32 codecs (free)in 0pen suse 11.... I have got gstreamer codec pack but on compiling it says missing packages like c, gcc, glib...etc...how can i get them from where do i get them....
Today encoders are getting smarter. They can compress Blu ray similar quality in 700MB. It seems header of video file contain info about frame rate, audio/video encoder etc. which can't be guessed. In MPEG audio , every part of file is independently playable. If a movie is binary split into 6 parts & I don't have the first part then it is unplayable.
Code: example ls -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 280M 2010-12-07 20:23 irn2-cd1.mkv -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50M 2011-05-26 13:09 last-50M-cd2 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50M 2011-05-26 13:44 first-50M-cd1 file * first-50M-cd1: Matroska data last-50M-cd2: data irn2-cd1.mkv: Matroska data
i just listening a song on vlc and read this thread. [URL]... After reading complete thread i just off vlc and then start installing software with instructions given in the thread. When google earth installed. i just use google earth only 10 minutes and then again play a song. then vlc looks like this. Screenshot.png and no video playing. no main menu show. What it happen? i try to remove it. sudo apt-get remove vlc and again install it sudo apt-get install vlc
same result. then i apply sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc and install again same result.
plain and simple how do I watch my old .amv videos. Whenever I try I get this error.
Quote:
Could not display "/home/derek/Videos/shrek 3 (Ipod).amv". There is no application installed for RIFF audio files
I have no clue whats so ever how to get around the error. I installed the medibuntu though terminal sense that was restricted codec I thought but nothing.
I'm on Fedora 13 GNOME. I haven't installed proprietary Nvidia drivers for my GTS 250 graphic card. The problem is now whenever I play any video file in any video player the PC freezes locking up virtual terminals. However the sound of the video continues to play on until the video ends. I have to then cold reset from the switch on chassis. What can be the probable reason behind this?
When I try to play any music or movie file over my network....VLC or any other player gives me errors. I don't have any problems when I copy movie files directly to my hard drive from my network. This is on Debian 8 if that information is of any relevance here...
Here is the error I am faced with...
Code: Select allYour input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://gfstorage01/wolf/Torent%20Downloads/Olympus%20Has%20Fallen%20(2013)%20%5B1080p%5D/Olympus.Has.Fallen.2013.1080p.BluRay.x264.YIFY.mp4'. Check the log for details.
I just got a Canon Vixia HF 200 Camcorder. It stores data on an SD card. I was able without difficulty to copy the files to my Fedora 13 (64 bit) system. There are a bunch of .mts files in a Stream Folder, which I assume contain the videos I made. Some searching with google suggested mplayer might be able to play these videos. When I try that, I get an Mplayer 'boombox' icon playing the audio, but no video.
How to Get info about state of things at present with high definition video.and Linux? If necessary I can use the Windows software that came with the camera, but I would like to do as much as I can with Fedora. To start, I would like to play the videos and also to write them to a DVD which I can play on my DVD player, BlurRay if possible.
I am using open suse 11.4, and have been trying to play video files from a web site, but when I click on the play link all that happens is that it goes to the page where the video should be but it doesn't load or play, not sure if it is a flash or java problem. the file plays without problem in Ubuntu 10.10 and also Win 7. it is a video file from [URL].
My problem is that my computer plays MTS videos very bad (the videos get freeze, etc) in Ubuntu 11.04. I tested many players, but I didn't get good performance during the playback in any of them.
However, in the same computer, I use K-Lite Codec Pack in Windows XP and MTS videos are fine!
Is there any way to play MTS videos in Ubuntu very well?
Performance is excellent in both operating systems (XP and Ubuntu 11.04).
So, I upgraded to 11.04. Everything seems to running okay, but when I go to play a video file, the colors are all screwed up. It looks like they're almost negative in the way that they are displayed.
I know that this laptop (Asus UL30A) does support playing HD material with the help of the GPU on windows. The question is how can I do this under linux? The CPU load as is implies that this is not activated. I assume that it's limited to a handful of codecs. But which player supports this, if its even supported at all?
I downloaded VLC through the Synaptic Packet Manager. When I double click on a movie file, Ubuntu still tries to open up Movie Player. How do I set VLC as the default movie player for all video files?
I am using Fedora 13 as OS,but it cant play audio or video in Movie player or rythm box.Always it asks for additional plugins" MPEG- Layer 3(MP3) decoder.I installed RPM Fusion then rpmfusion-free-release-12-3(noarch) but could not succeed.After installing Fluendo only Audio is working.But No video is playing.Every times i get Message "Additional Plugins Required....MPEG 2),Can it really possible to play All video on fedora 13?
I've got a laptop running Backtrack4 and an external tv/monitor. Is there a program/command/configuration file that I can use to allow my laptop and monitor to connect with one another via HDMI?
the movie i downloaded plays for only 19 sec and stops saying you will be redirected to microsoft download page. the file is 700 Mb. i installed w32 codecs after searching through many threads but still my vlc doesnt play the file.
How can I play audio files via terminal. Afaik I've to install mplayer. Suppose I want to play list of audio files, is there any way to play all the files simultaneously via terminal?
i installed kubuntu enviroment in my new linux version of ubuntu 9.10 and it was playing media files then all oversudden it stopped playing the media files but when i play media files in gnome enviroment they play!!i have tried updating it but there is no change.what do i do?
If I take out the existing video card and put in another one of a different type (but not a different brand), how does Ubuntu behave? I know what Windows typically does. Windows starts up the screen using a default video driver which is at least 1024 by 768 and then asks you what this new bit of hardware is and asks where the drivers are. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has default drivers of its own, but I don't know what their resolution is.
Recently, I noticed that I can no longer see any video when playing m4v files (audio is OK). These files worked fine until recently, and the problem persists across mplayer, totem, banshee and even firefox.
I have installed Fedora 14 and have problems with the sound i have an Realtek ALC662 6-Channel HD Audio chip and ALSA should be loading by Fedora but no sound not over the speakers and also the headphone doesn't produce sound, while playing video or dvd no sound.
when trying to play songs purchased off of iTunes I don't want to be limited to having to watch them through Virtualbox.how to get vlc or mplayer to play .mp4 videos in Ubuntu 9.10? I've got vlc 1.0 and trying to convert them using ffmpeg didn't work, I keep getting the following error.
swScaler: Unknown format is not supported as input pixel format Cannot get resampling context
When i try to play HD (even with 720p) video the CPU load is almost 100%. I'm using vlc player and the movie is barely watchable. If i switch to Movie Player, the CPU load is slightly decreased, but after 2-3 minutes the audio goes out of sync, so no solution there. I have an nvidia 8600gt graphics card and the proper driver installed, every compiz effect works flawlessly without the slightest increase in CPU load and a dual core 2,1 GHz AMD processor. It shouldn't be a hardware issue.
I have a Core 2 Duo T9600. I noticed video playing performance has been really bad lately, and videos that used to work fine now stuttered. I would say it started happening 2-3 weeks ago. I discovered the culprit is that the CPU is scaling down to 800Mhz and sticking there. Running cpufreq-info yields:
i was tweaking some settings on mplayer and now when the video is playing fine the audio is gone, not only from mplayer but also from all the applications
I've been using Ubuntu 10.04 for about a month and generally the graphics work fine (I have a Radeon 2600 XT graphics card and have installed Catalyst Control Centre 10.7).3D games such as Nexuiz work fine and I can generally play different types of video but when I try to play HD video it gets pretty jerky. The same files play fine in windows so I'm guessing it's a software/driver issue. I've read various related posts to this and after typing 'top' into the terminal, I can see that playing the video takes most of the CPU processing resource up, which I as I understand, suggests that most of the work is not being offloaded to the GPU.
I am trying to burn a video DVD created from "Devede" with K3B. The video DVD successfully burns, and plays in my computer, but does not play in any of the DVD players in the house. I used to user "ConvertXToDVD" when I was on Windows, but am trying to find a free/open source alternative on ubuntu. I am using all default options. I have looked in the settings for both programs, and I fail to see the problem here. Even the ISO created from devede seems to match up to the Video DVD (that works in the players) I had burned with ConvertXToDVD.
In Devede I have it so that the menu is disabled and it automatically plays the first title. Apparently this is not good enough.. I thought this program was supposed to be easy to use? What am I doing wrong here? I am using the same DVD-R I have used before on my Windows machine to great success. I am getting frustrated as I have went through 2 DVDs,
I have a Asus UX30 with an Intel GMA 4500MHD laptop with ubuntu, working with no problems except that when I'm watching some video it often freezes. The screen turns black and the only way to get it some where is to shutdown in the power button. Is there any special reason for computer suddenly freezes
