Ubuntu :: DVD Playback / Cannot Find Libdvdcss / W32codecs In Kpackage
Jan 19, 2010
I have an annoying problem with kubuntu9.10. I've reeinstalled it and instead of starting up dragon player which then recommends installing extra packages for multimedia, i chose to manually install the restricted extras (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras).Everything seems to work, except for playback of dvd's which doesn't work. When I search in kpackagekit for libdvdcss, w32codecs etc it can't find anything. It seem as if it lacks some software sources but when I have everything enabled (universe-restricted-multiverse)So, what can I do to install these files (and others, don't know everything to play (encrypted) dvds).
I have it installed and running nicely so I am following sqlpython's "How To: Full multimedia in Squeeze" to get my various players playing. sqlpython seems to have been running a KDE environment while I am running Gnome, but that should not make a critical difference.
If I do (as root) apt-get install libdvdcss apt does not find it. Same result for libdvdcss2.
BTW, which of these would be more appropriate for my 64-bit squeeze?
etc/apt/sources.list shows: # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Squeeze_ - Official Snapshot amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20100217-22:04]/ squeeze main
I have this .wmv video I'm trying to play in movie player, but I get this error:
Code: video/x-asf-unknown decoder and then it plays just the audio. When I try vlc, it just says Code: VLC does not support the audio or video format "G2M4" I have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs as instructed here How do I fix this problem? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit
I just did a fresh net-install of debian squeeze after a failed upgrade from lenny. Everything works fine and seems great except that kpackage doesn't seem to be installed. I checked in /usr/bin/ and there is no kpackage.Package kpackage is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.However the following packages replace it:kdelibs-data
E: Package 'kpackage' has no installation candidate
So I installed that package and some others that looked like it and still I dont have kpackage. I now use synaptic and although I love it, I miss being able to install from the notification that there are updates (I do get those).
I have Debian Lenny installed and I am using the KDE interface.How do I get to use tar.gz packages with the kpackage program? Anyone know hat else I have to install in order to make it work?
Has anyone used kpackage to upgrade release 13 to release 14?I keep getting a prompt to start the upgrade but am worried about the time it will take and what happens if the network hiccups..
After being puzzled why every guide saying to install the 'libdvdcss' package wasn't working, the package simply not being found; it turns out that in the shift to RPM Fusion, that libdvdcss was the only package that Livna was still going to carry due to RPM Fusion's refusal - in case you didn't know.
I've installed all of the gstreamer plugins, xine-extra-libs and libdvdcss, all of the ones that are suggested. Yet I still cannot play a DVD with VLC. I was wandering if you could help me diagnose why?
We use SLED10.1 as the base O/S for our Point-of-sale registers and we have run into the need for these registers to play .mov files that are sent down from the corporate office. The base installed KAFFEINE or REALPLAYER won't play those extensions. Can anyone recommend a good .mov player that doesn't require the libdvdcss libraries. (We can't use those for legal reasons). I tried downloading the latest XINE but got lost in RPM-hell and finally gave up.
To put it bluntly, mplayer is unable to correctly play video DVDs. It seems to correctly find the title and everything, but the picture is broken or not displayed at all, with messages like:
Now, this all is on amd64 Gentoo Linux system. I believe the problem is not in mplayer itself, since the playback also breaks in VLC or when i copy the VOBs via vobcopy and try to play them afterwards.
I use libdvdcss-1.2.10 and libdvdread-4.1.3_p1168 (current stable in Gentoo), and tried previous versions of both libs, but it didn't change a thing.
The DVDs I have tried play fine in regular DVD player or on a Windows laptop. I remember the playback used to work about a year ago and I don't know what to try next.
I did a fresh install of Fedora 13, 32-bit, with GNOME desktop. My goal is to watch DVDs with VLC media player. I followed the steps in this website to install the media players, codecs, VLC etc. -
Code: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f13.html Everything was successful until I got stuck at this point (the DVD Playback section) - Code: #Setup the Livna Repository:
rather after I have had no problems installing 11.3 on a new hard drive, , can I simply mount the old one and copy libdvdcss to the same location on the new drive, or does it need to be "installed"?

I was trying to play some mp3s and mp4s in my totem but keep on getting this error report of which I have attached some screenshots. I also tried to download some things that I usually put on my system such as: vlc, ffmpeg, dvdbackup, dvdrip, audacity, thoggen, handbrake, audacious & sound converter but I fail in the process.
Here are my outputs: Code: [root@localhost ~]# yum install ffmpeg libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdnav libdvdplay lsdvd mplayer gxine Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit google-chrome | 951 B 00:00 google-chrome/primary | 1.4 kB 00:00 google-chrome 3/3 Setting up Install Process No package ffmpeg available.
While I was installing some packages, the power in my street went out (uncleanly killing my system) ... unfortunately Kpackage was open at the time of the power outage. Now when I try to use KPackage, I get "Login Problem, Please Login Manually" ... which does not allow me to login using either the root or user's password. I have rebooted my computer many times and have even run a 'reiserfsck /dev/*** --fix-fixable' on my system, which did not repair the problem.
I have researched this error, but have only found responses that people suggest changing the KPackage behaviour from 'su' to 'sudo' ... ; while this does work, it feels like a 'putting-a-band-aid-over-a-warning-light-so-I-can't-see-the-warning-light-anymore' kind of 'fix?' which isn't good as it would enable anyone using the system to add or remove packages without thought or consequence. What I would prefer to do is actually fix the problem so that proper root password entering is again required to add or remove packages, so my question is:
1. Does anyone know if KPackage 'locks' out a file(s) on the system which may be preventing me from logging into the program correctly, and if so what and where the file(s) may be?
2. Can I delete any kpackage (profile?) file to gain normal login behaviour again?
3. Is this a permissions error?, has something in users/groups? been broken that I can look into?
4. how I may be able to properly repair this KPackage login problem on my system?
I've been trying to enable DVD playback ever since last night now and I've been following the instructions on this page: [URL]. And I've downloaded the xubuntu-restricted extras. But every time I run the command: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.**** works, but Connecting to packages.medibuntu.org|88.191.82.11|:80 always times out. I'm using xubuntu 9.10.
When I used to have the unspoken OS that starts with a w and rhymes with schmindows installed, DVDs played very nicely on my computer. Now, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 and they don't play so nicely. First, they didn't play at all. Then, I followed some instructions and installed various things like mediabuntu and some restricted drivers.
I tried to play the DVD again with Movie Player, and it played (kind of) but it was very choppy and it still is. Then, I installed VLC. It plays fairly well in VLC; sometimes it plays a little bit better than other. However, often times the quality is very liney when the characters move is when it is most noticeable.
I've just bought a very cheap USB sound device as the jacks built into my laptop are practically dead. I bought it as I'd googled around and seen that other people have it working in linux. Anyway, I plug it in and am able to select "USB AUDIO (ALSA)" from the xfce4-mixer. However, I don't get any sound from any applications.
Here is my aplay -l output: Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: default [USB AUDIO], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I can't find any options for the output on alsamixer and don't really know what to do. I'm running Mint with xfce4 on a Dell Studio 15.
I am wondering about scheduling audio playback under Ubuntu. The background is this: My birthday is fast approaching, and I always try to do something to remember the best birthday gift I ever received, that being the Apollo 11 mission; Neil and Buzz landed on my 12th birthday.
Anyway, I have a wagonload of audio from nasa.gov and would like to schedule the MP3s to play in real time. 'at' won't do it, at least with 'mplayer'; I've tried. I suspect that because there is no controlling terminal for jobs run under 'at', the audio has no place to go. Is there some way to get a controlling terminal for these audio playback jobs, or specify a destination to some player?
Yesterday I fresh installed Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit LTS on my Toshiba Laptop. This is my second time with Ubuntu so bear with me. I got everything working even the webcam but it won't play dvd movies. When I go to the DVD player icon and try to open it...its won't because it doesn't recognize the dvd format.I have searched but only end up trying stuff that didn't work for it. I guess what it needs is Codec's.
I spend hours following a dozen different how tos to get wma, asf, and a techsmtih videos to play. I still can't play asf, or techsmith. The asf plays the video, but there is no audio. The Techsmith flashes the video every so often but the sound works fine. mplayer -vc help says the techsmith codec is working, but it is not.
Available video codecs: vc: vfm: status: info: [lib/dll] ffmvi1 ffmpeg working FFmpeg Motion Pixels [motionpixels] ffmdec ffmpeg working FFmpeg Sony PlayStation MDEC (Motion DECoder) [mdec] ffsiff ffmpeg working FFmpeg Beam Software SIFF [vb] ffmimic ffmpeg working FFmpeg Mimic video [mimic]
although VLC playback triggers it, I suspect it's actually a kernel problem. After moving from 10.04 x64 to 10.10 x64, I've been noticing the following problem: When watching a DVD .iso using VLC Media Player, the system will become "jerky" and "stutter" after a random amount of smooth playback. At that point, the only way to make the system smooth and responsive again is a hard restart (normal shutdown hangs and refuses to complete).where I can start looking to find where the bug lies? My laptop is an Acer Aspire 6930 with 10.10 x64 and the current NVidia display driver.
I could play a particular DVD in totem without any problems immediately before the upgrade. Immediately after the upgrade I could not play that particular DVD. I got the error message below code...
When I try to play a backed up dvd, .iso file, with VLC in 11.04 it hangs quite a bit and seems like it's loading something (an orange bar shows up and slowly gets less over the volume) This only happens in VLC on 11.04 but does not happen in GnomeMPlayer when I open the same .iso file.
I can play the DVD, but without any voice overs. The music comes in fine, same with the picture. It isn't just VLC. Same problem in Movie Player. Didn't know till just now.
