Software :: Audio But No Video In Totem/VLC For 1 User Other Users Okay

Aug 30, 2010

Debian 5 (Lenny) 2.6.26-2-686 When logged in as my main account I can play videos in Totem and VLC. But when logged in with my "mythtv" user account, all I get is a blank screen, but the audio works. I suspected a permissions issue and thought maybe I should add mythtv to the video group? Something to try. But when I go to System > Administration > Users and Groups, I don't have a mythtv user listed. The user does exist, I log in with it. Also, I have: mythtv:x:113:121::/var/lib/mythtv:/bin/sh in /etc/passwd I just don't know where to begin looking for this, since it is working for other users, just not the one I need it to.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Totem - Video Stays On Top Of Drop Down Menus And Video Remains When Change Windows?

May 30, 2011

this happens with both VLC and Totem, when in either of those programs playing a video, if I click on one of the top menus, say View in Totem, the video stays on top of the drop down options. In order to see the options I have to hover over them with the mouse at which point they become momentarily visible. I read a post somewhere where someone had a similar problem and it was solved by reinstalling Compiz, but I've tried uninstalling it entirely, reinstalling it, etc. and none of it works. It doesn't happen with flash videos in firefox, it does happen with visualisations in Totem, and it only started happening since I upgraded to 11.04.

Software :: Totem Over Ssh Only Audio?

Mar 29, 2010

I am having a strange problem. file.avi is in host:/host:/ is mounted in client:/ via sftp on evolutionwhile sitting on client: double clicking on file.avi opens Totem which starts to stream and only shows a blank screen (audio is fine).Copying file.avi to client:/ and then playing it on totem is fine, so it is not a gstreamer issue. I would doubt this is bandwidth as it should just buffer longer, this is over a wireless network.

Fedora :: Audio Out Of Sync In VLC And Others But Not Totem

Jul 24, 2011

V.L.C. and all others - but Totem - video players that I have installed have audio out of sync. This occurs in both D.V.D. and .mkv & .avi. I had this problem with V.L.C. 1.1.10 & now with 1.1.11. I do not think that this is a problem with V.L.C. since I have had the same issue occur with gnome-mplayer. I tried to downgrade gstreamer*, and that did not correct my problem. It shouldn't be a problem with libdvd* since the problem still occurs with files on my drive. Handbrake doesn't fail to rip D.V.D correctly.

Because of all of this I figure that it must be a system library that Totem and HandBrake don't use ( or bundle most likely in the case of HandBrake ).I am using Fedora 15 x86_64 with all updates to date.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video Freezes In Totem?

Apr 18, 2010

Whenever I'm playing a video in Totem, if I use the navigation bar thing to go to a different time in the video, the video output freezes. Audio continues, but video stops. If I pause the video first, then use the navigation thing, then click play again, it works fine. Same happens for music; the visualizer freezes if I drag the navigation thing.

Edit: If I put it on repeat, when the video or music repeats the video output freezes also.

Debian :: Totem Won't Play Flash Video

Apr 3, 2010

when i try to play a flash video the visual works but not the audio and totem tells me i need the suitable codec which it says is gstreamer-bad and when i attempt to install it, it says that it conflicts with gstreamer-really-bad but if i remove gstreamer-really-bad and install gstreamer-bad totem gives me an internal data stream error instead and even visual won't work. so i ran totem--debug and this is the terminal output with gstreamer-bad when trying to play flash video.

quote:

** message: error: internal data stream error. gstflvdemux.c(528): gst_flv_demux_loop (): /play/decodebin0/flvdemux0: stream stopped, reason error

i also ran totem --debug with gstreamer-really-bad installed and this is the output then.

quote:

totem --debug
** (totem:7979): debug: init of python module
** (totem:7979): debug: registering python plugin instance: videos+totempythonplugin
** (totem:7979): debug: creating object of type videos+totempythonplugin

CentOS 5 :: Play A Video .wmv File With Totem?

May 18, 2011

I am trying to watch a video file on a Centos 5.6 Linux. The file does not open. It says "Totem could not play 'file:///root/Desktop/LinuxCBT/Disk1/video01/video01.wmv'. A Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed." I thought maybe Totem is not capable to play this so i went ahead and installed mplayer on the system (yum install mplayer mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts. I also downloaded this all-20110131.tar.bz2 from this site [URL]. I created a folder called codecs in /usr/local/lib/codecs. I uncompressed the content of all-20110131.tar.bz2 and put them in the codecs folder. I went to folder /usr/local/lib/codecs and did chmod 755 *. I can now hear the sound but no video. when I write gmplayer -ov x11 at the terminal command prompt the mplayer opens, when I open the video file, I can hear the sound but no video. Basically my question is how can I see a video file on Linux? Have I missed something? Did I download wrong files? If I revert and try to open this with Totem, where do I get the necessary plugins for Totem?

Here is the output;

[root@localhost codecs]# gmplayer -vo x11
MPlayer SVN-r31628-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory

Debian Multimedia :: Totem Won't Play Flash Video

Apr 3, 2010

It seems to be able to play flash videos acquired from from video.google.com (ive only tried one) but NONE from ...... On other distros it will play ALL flash video from ANY source from the tmp directory perfectly fine.

Heres the original error

Search for suitable codec?

The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable codecs to play media files. Do you want to search for a codec that supports the selected file?

The search will also include software which is not officially supported.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video Plays In WMP But Not In VLC / Totem Or MPlayer

Feb 10, 2010

My partner is a teacher and has downloaded some videos from a teacher's resource site but can't seem to play them in Ubuntu. They play fine in Windows XP using Windows Media Player but they only play a few seconds in VLC or Totem and then freeze. The files in question seem to be normal MPG (MPEG-1) video files but somehow VLC and Totem choke on them. I have installed all restricted video formats including w32codecs but still no joy. My partner is threatening to go back to Windows!

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Totem Comes To Halt In 30 To 45 Minute Video

Oct 13, 2010

On 10.04 64-bit, I've been noticing this weird error where totem comes to a halt after ~3/4 of playback in a 30-45 minute video, then it starts to play back again after about 10 seconds but it's a bit choppier. What could be causing this or how I can track down the issue? I'm running a nVidia GTX 275 with nividia-current drivers (195.36.24) if that helps diagnose anything.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video Colors Distorted In Vlc, Totem 10.10 X64?

Dec 15, 2010

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 x64, and the colors in my videos are distorted. Blue seems to be the primary tint over everything. This problem occurs regardless of video format (avi, mkv, flv, etc) and regardless of video player I use (banshee, totem, vlc, etc). However, no other colors in my operating system are distorted; it's only for these movies. I also have an NVidia video card, which I installed the latest driver for through the restricted drivers pop up.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video Blanks Out In Totem - Slow In Vlc / Sort It?

May 23, 2010

I installed 10.04 in a Dell Dimension 3000 for my father. It's a nice upgrade from the old Pentium 3, except for graphics it seems. I tried playing a video I recorded on my phone. Movie player(totem) appears to play the video, but instead shows a blank screen. Moving the window, minimizing, ect. shows a frame or two, but that's it. Converting to OGG, and turning off compix does nothing. I installed VLC and now the video plays but in slow motion. Sound works great in both. I'm not sure if it's an Intel graphics thing or what, but it's pretty bad when ..... plays better then local video.

BTW not sure if it's related but it also seems to have a problem coming out of suspend.

Software :: Totem In Firefox Cannot Play Video Which Is Played By Mac And Windows

Jul 8, 2011

I'm trying to play a video across the network (watch the "Live View" of a Network Camera) using my Linux/Ubuntu 10.10 Laptop. The video plays fine from Windows and Mac using any browser with Quicktime plugin. My Linux/Ubuntu seems to have a Quicktime plugin called Totem, which shows up in Plug-ins tab as QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6 Totem 2.32.0 (using GStreamer 0.10.30) When Firefox tries to open the videostream using Totem, no video is played just there's an unfunctioning play button and a blank video screen. My own suggestion to this problem is to use another side application such as VLC player inside Firefox. But it seems VLC is unusable in this case because the network video's requires HTTP authentication and I cannot enter that authentication info from VLC itself.

Ubuntu :: Video Playback Does Not Work Properly On Totem (movie Player) Neither VLC

Jul 12, 2010

Since I upgraded to Lucid Lynx, playing videos with the default player do not work properly. I only see the content while moving the window, or in full screen mode, and in both ways, the picture is distorsioned and with strange colors. Playing it with VLC does work properly ONLY IF I change the video output module to something different as default (X11 works, openGL also) but Linux Framebuffer does not.

The question: Is there a way to change the "default" video mode that Totem (or Kaffeine) use?? I have not found anything on the net with this exact problem.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Totem Plugin For Firefox Only Play Video From The Start

Sep 15, 2010

Sometimes for web TV one is offered a menu where the video is divided into sub chapters where you can jump right to this part of the video by clicking in a chapter menu (very similar to playing a DVD). Well, this does not work for me. Clicking a sub chapter only set the video to play from start, and sliding the bar only freezes the player with a white screen. I'm running 10.04 (64b), Firefox 3.6.9, with the latest Totem-plugin.

General :: Totem Won't Play Common Video Formats - An Error Occurred

Dec 13, 2009

Debian Lenny Gnome
Intel Celeron, 1100MHz, 512k

Earlier today I downloaded a video of a Mozilla Project preview, in MP4. Of course, it won't play. All I get is the audio, and this error:

Quote:

"An error occurred. The playback of this movie requires a H.264 decoder plugin which is not installed."

I put in some time, researching this issue, trying to figure it all out. I guess I'm looking in the wrong places. Is this a proprietary format issue? Also, when I was overdosing on XP, my media drug of choice was Klite mega codec pack (from codecs.com). It literally plays every media format, audio and video. In addition to fixing the above issue, can somebody guide me to an equivalent player with codecs for [insert any media type here]? I have several Terrabytes of various video and audio files, and prefer to not convert them all.
