Red Hat / Fedora :: Installing MPlayer - Not Able To Extract The Codecs In The /usr/local/lib/codecs Directory
Apr 2, 2009
I have FC10! so far i have downloaded the mplayer and its codecs.further i extracted both the packages( in DOWNLOAD folder).but I'm not able to extract the codecs in the /usr/local/lib/codecs directory.it says you do not have permission. how should i know whether to compile the mplayer or is it pre-compiled?
When I try playing a movie using mplayer, it says The following plugins are required
MPEG -1 Layer 3 decoder Divx mpeg-4 version 5 decoder
or
could not determine the type of stream
In the first case, clicking on the search option, error occurs (probably because of the proxy I am working behind) I can use yum install though behing the proxy. How can install these codecs from the command line ?
I have an mkv file that I'm trying to player with mplayer, but no video is showing up. Mplayer was installed using apt-get install mplayer since ./configure when I try to build mplayer gives me a bunch of garbage:
Current branch master is up to date. Detected operating system: Linux Detected host architecture: i386
[code]....
But, after installing mplayer using apt-get, I can't get any video for the file I'm trying to play. I've tried copying the files from "all-20110131.tar.bz2" to /usr/local/lib/codecs but I still don't even get a box for video. Everything works fine using the built in movie player--even the subtitles are shown correctly.
i have FC10! so far i have downloaded the mplayer and its codecs.further i extracted both the packages( in DOWNLOAD folder).but I'm not able to extract the codecs in the /usr/local/lib/codecs directory.it says you do not have permission(despite of being logged in as su). how should i know whether to compile the mplayer or is it pre-compiled? do mention about the codecs issue!
I downloaded the mplayer essential codecs pack and extracted in directories mentioned.I even compiled mplayer and it can play now almost all the files. But I am having a problem.The problem is that other multimedia players dont play even a single file.I tried with xine,totem,kaffiene and every bundled player.
[URL]... It seems like I should be able to install i686 and x86_64 versions of the same package. This same dependency also prevents installing Adobe Reader.
Our internet connection is not strong enough to handle the 4 GB DVD ISO download of Ubuntu 10 that contains all the codecs etc.
What would be the process required for me to install all the codecs needed for full multimedia support, as it is very annoying the fact it does not come with them pre loaded.
As well as installation of codecs, what other things would need to be done to ensure the system is fully set up.
My friend recently installed fedora 12 in his system. Intel core2 duo, 2 GB ram. It didnt play mp3 files, but the sound during login, logout etc were ok. I searched some sites and told him to do
Quote:
yum update @sound-and-video
(This worked for me)
but now in his system the player (amarok) shows the sound is playing but cant hear anything also the login and logout sounds also not playing.
i had easylife for fedora that it can install codecs and flash and some other software very easily. i want to know: is there like this tools for Debain?
Just installed ubuntu 10.04 and would like some suggestions on a good video and audio player and maybe an idiots guide to installing all the codecs i need. I would like to find an audio player with some good visualizations.
I am new to Linux, how to install codecs, as when I am trying to install I am finding this error. An error occurred while initializing the software repository. Details: Url scheme is a required component and sometime like repository can be loaded.
My brother is a linux master and the computers I get handed down are obviously all use linux. I am trying to play a wmv file on my comp. I just downloaded mplayer but it seems not to work. I have movie player as well but it tells me the file is not supported. Read about w32codecs but they seem not to be available anymore. Maybe I need to convert the wmv to mpeg but yet I don't know how.
I need to install restricted codecs (MP3, WMA, etc) in Fedora but I wanna download them at home. Is there a way I can download them in Ubuntu, put them on my USB Hard drive and install them from there?
I recently installed fedora and enjoying learning what it can do. One of the things that I wanted to do was play DVDs. I installed vlc and the libvdreader package but am unable to play DVDs. I even used "movie player", and the program said, fedora does not have the right codecs to play the DVD. Does anybody know what I need to do? And what codecs that I need to download if any?
Fedora is a distro that is focused only on free and open source software.This means that Fedora doesn't distribute any proprietary or patent encumbred software, so they'll not be present in the official Fedora releases and repositories. This does not mean that they cannot be instaled in a Fedora distro. Because there are many users who want to run some of that software, the community has been providing, since a long time ago, alternative ways to acomplish that. This is very important when a new release is distributed, because it attracts many first time users and not all of them are aware of the above mentioned, and every six months, the same questions are placed in the forums, regarding that.
To help new users to install the non free and proprietary stuff mentioned in the titlle, I decided to leave here a fast summary, chosed among many of the available options.
Each time I connect to a Mumble server, this appears:Quote: Unable to find matching CELT codecs with other clients. You will not be able to talk to all users. Apparently that is the cause for not being able to hold a conversation on mumble. Nobody can hear me, though I can't specify if I can hear others at the moment. Some googling has led me to this:
Gentoo Bug #293300 media-sound/mumble-1.2.0_beta1 tries to load media-libs/celt-0.7.0 as "libcelt.so.0.7.0", but the actually installed library is named "libcelt.so.0.0.0". Thus CELT support in Mumble is supposedly missing, but can be restored by symlinking libcelt.so.0.7.0 to libcelt.so.0.0.0.
I just installed F15 new, and I wonder what packages do I need to install to play movies with restricted codecs? I thought I have everything what I installed last time with F14 but I can't play my movies in Kaffeine. I have rmpfusion and the packages gstreamer-plugins-bad-free gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly, and all other gstreamer-* packages.
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 would like to rip a DVD I own in order to save some space on my hard disk drive.Which audio and video codec should I use for a good rendering?The classic way is to use MP3 for sound and divx for video.However, is OGG better for exemple?
i have openshot 1.1.3 installed on my debian squeeze. i want to export my project to videos-hd format. when i try this, whatever i select in video profile and quality, i get error message that codecs libx264 and libmp3lame are missing. i have downloaded them from [url] and installed .deb's. libmp3lame required dependency package libmp3lame0, which i also installed. but openshot error is still here? what have i done wrong?
Installing codecs to play .wma audio files. No player is playing it. I specially want amarok to play it, but other players too. I didn't find any package usable searching for windows audio decoder plugin or .wma in SYNAPTICS (ubuntu distro).
