Ubuntu Multimedia :: Add Folders To Watch?

Aug 29, 2010

Rather than adding each music/video file one by one in XBMC is there a way to just add a folder to watch and as you add music under it, it automatically shows up in XMBC? If not, is there any application that allows something like that? I'm looking for one central application to use for all media playback - dvds, music, videos, pictures... XBMC seemed like the right choice, but I'll be adding moves and music for a year if I had to do each of them 1 by 1.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Watch A Scratched DVD

Dec 27, 2010

DVD rentals are a lottery for me. I often have the problem of renting DVD's that end up being scratched. I'm sure this is a common experience: during playback there will be a section of the DVD that is unplayable because it skips or stutters.

I always clean the DVD surface but it often doesn't help when the scratches are bad. So I wonder whether there are any hardware tweaks in Ubuntu to help the DVD drive try harder?

I found this post "Guide to dvd copy and watch even when scratched" which seems useful but it requires ripping the DVD.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Setup ATI To Watch TV?

May 30, 2011

How do I properly setup my ATI 5770 just to watch movies on my connected TV and surf on PC on Internet simultaneously? I don't have current problem in Win7. But Ubuntu 10.04 is just to confusing for me, so I require step-by-step guide.

After I tried to do it myself I got confused, when I setup TV and PC as a multi-desktop on my PC there was no Internet connection meanwhile I had it on my TV's desktop Internet available. I need to use my TV somekind like a an extended desktop, but when I try to do an extended desktop my two panels on PC's desktop simply vanish.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Capture TV And Watch Over Network

Jun 28, 2010

I want to capture the video from my sat box using an extra laptop I have and then distribute a live feed on my network so that I can watch tv on my laptop around the house. I want to use an old Dell X300 with a broken screen. It's not too powerful with a 1.2GHz Pentium M and 640MB ram. I was thinking of throwing Zubuntu or something lighter weight on it. I'll use a usb capture card that will support S-video. I am sure there are plenty of those that will be compatible with Linux. What I need to know is what capture software should I use?

Is there any capture software that will transmit over a network as a live feed? Is my laptop even powerful enough to do what I'm asking? This thing had no problem playing back 480p but capturing, encoding, and distributing over a network is another story. Are there any usb capture cards that use hardware encoding? Would installing a lighter weight distro be necessary in order to gt laptop performance boost it needs to handle what I want to do? And what of software to receive the stream? VLC should have no trouble connecting to the stream right? How about SMPlayer?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can Watch - But Not Rip DVDs - CRC Errors

Oct 30, 2010

I recently purchased a netbook which does not have a DVD drive. I have attempted to rip a copy of some DVDs I own to facilitate watching them on the netbook. I have run into some errors.

First the setup:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Linux ub-desktop 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:52:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
DVD Drive - HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-4166B

I have tried multiple DVDs (Heat, Team America, The Messenger, Holy Grail). All fail in the same way.

I can watch any of these DVDs from start to finish in VLC or mPlayer. No issues there.

For ripping I tried AcidRip, DVD::RIP, and even fired up a virtual box of Windows to try different applications.

The error log shows:

Code:

In Acid rip I will get about 130MB (40 minutes) of the video until these errors come up. There are usually three or four duplicates of that and then the application closes.

If I try to copy the files to my hard drive from the mounted DVD it will stall about 30% of the way through and lock the system up.

I know the errors indicate CRC, but I would assume if the drive was bad I couldn't watch the videos.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Cannot Watch Video Files?

Nov 6, 2010

I'm using Dell inspiron 1210 and installed netbook remix 10.10 recently. But I have trouble with watching video files with any players, including built-in player, SMPlayer, VLC media player.

Video is not appear with those players and can see only black screens. Sound works well. I think there are some troubles with codecs, But though I installed some codecs and restricted-extra, there are no improvements. What should I do to see video with this system? Those video files can be watched with my desktop;Ubuntu 10.04 and VLC player so I think files has no problem. Dell inspiron 1210 specification; Intel Atom Z530, GMA500, 1GB Ram. GMA500 driver has installed.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Watch Tv On Monitor With Mythtv?

Jun 29, 2011

I am trying to watch tv on my monitor with mythtv. I had my card configured correctly. The first half of the Hauppauge 1600 is for analog tuning, so I have to select ivtv from the dropdown menu. I am receiving an error message stating that it cannot be opened. An hour ago It was fine. When It was working fine and everything was normal, I still could not receive any video on the tv. in mythtv. I receive a red screen. The coax cable is running from the wall into the card. I do not want to run it through my cable box for it seems difficult to configure a remote. I went to schedule direct and downloaded the correct guide for my region(which is the US). What could be the problem? I have searched forums and articles. I really want to use mythtv and cease using Windows Media Center. Does analog tv work in Mythtv. I am using the 0.24 version. My operating system is windows xp and I do not have a graphics card setup for tv-out yet.

Ubuntu users can't watch NBC streamed Olympics coverage?

The CBC [url] seems to be able to get it right (flash player, I believe) for Ubuntu/Linux users. Well, the coverage is better from the CBC anyway.

Let us know if you find a workaround for NBC, I believe its the Silverlight 3.0 issue.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Crashes Whenever Watch A Video On The Internet?

Jul 3, 2010

Ubuntu 9.10. I can still watch videos that I have downloaded. Whenever I watch a video online, no matter which browser, it crashes, goes back to the login screen, when I log back in all windows have been closed.

EDIT: It doesn't crash if I'm playing a video but on a different tab in my browser, I'm pretty sure this means it is a problem with the screen but I may be wrong.

I'm using a Samsung NC10 netbook. It has always worked before.

And another thing, I used to be able to use Extra visual effects but now it says it can't find drivers, where can I find drivers for my screen?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Watch Streaming TV In Standalone Player

Jul 17, 2011

Guetting radio streams to work in ubuntu stand alone players wasnt so difficult after all: I just had too see the page source and locate the streaming address. That way I added some radios I was interested to rhythmbox. I also found websites that list lots of streaming addresses for Europe, Japan.TV seems to be different: so far I havent been able to do the same: Ideally, I could search for a streaming tv address in the source of the page with the embedded player, but no luck at all.

Im not talking about tv via a tvturner card, just tv streamings, like the BBC or this german one URL... type=null. The public german broadcaster allows me to watch their programms in their embedded player. Can I watch those programms in vlc or in other standalone players? Im also interested in the same for the bbc, cnn, aljazeera...
