View 2 Repliesi use the heck out of mp3gain to keep my music library in order, but i was wondering if anyone has ever come across a similar solution for video files. I know that you can adjust the audio --that's a given, but has ANYONE come across a way, via ffmpeg, or anything else, to calculate a BASE db/gain offset, so that an adjustment could be made programmatically? Is there any software for this, or a secret ffmpeg flag for this?

This was a problem I had on Arch linux and the fix was to change the locking options in the soffice script but I've tried that fix here and it doesn't work. I've seen a lot of discussions but they all go back to changing the locking options in soffice, has anyone got any alternative fixes or one that definitely works with locking?

my audio works fine in audacity,ardour and any other program. jack is not running.
gwc appears to work for de clicking it just wont open the dsp to play
I can't open sopcast, I guess it's because of the conflict with the newer versions of VLC...
I tried to uninstall vlc, sopcast, to install only sopcast, but I noticed it automatically installs also vlc...in other words, didn't find any solution by myself nor on the web.
My sister can't open CDs on her laptop, I made sure to install ubuntu-restricted-extras on her computer and she can open DVDs and data disks. The files burnt to the disk are .wav, and we've tried using vlc, rhythmbox, and tried to open the disk in nautilus, but no success. Does anybody know what's wrong?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWant to record an Internet radio broadcast. If I go to the relevant website and click on the streaming option, I get a box that offers me a choice of programs with which to open the stream. Right now it only has "Movie Player (default)" from which to choose.
If I click "other" then I have to tell the program where the VLC media player executable file is located.
How do I find this location?

I can't seem to get my videos to open with VLC automatically. They open with the built in movie player, but I don't want that. I have VLC installed, but each time I have to right click on the file and go to Open With.
View 5 Replies View RelatedTo get to the point, when viewing a video in fullscreen, I notice that the initial VLC window remains open under the fullscreen video output. Sometimes the initial video window is under the fullscreen output causes a bit of screen tearing. How do I enable VLC that when in fullscreen mode, only it opens, to be together with the main interface instead of two windows running? Im not sure that im making sense but this does not happen in Windows. I want a similar function here in Ubuntu.

what happened was i came across the meego interface for Banshee and thought i would install the unstable version of Banshee to check it out. I noticed after doing this that Guayadeque wouldn't open up for me so i uninstalled the package from synaptic package manager and reinstalled the stable version of Banshee from Ubuntu Tweak. I thought this would sort out the problem but after restarting no joy at all. Anyone know what i could have done to prevent it from opening up?

I'm using the latest nvidia driver for my asus gtx460 (260.19.12)Have already verified rendering is enabled, uninstalled nouveau & blacklisted, mesa glx is installed, no errors (that I can see), etc.When I run apps, even a gl screensaver, it will hang my whole box. To the point where I can't even, ctrl + alt + F1 (or F2, F3), for cli. So no command line output. And I've tested this in World of Padman, Alien Arena, Call of Duty 4 (under Wine), even Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Apps will start, but any gl content will quickly hang.This is the first time running ubuntu x64, and a new box

Doesn't seem as straightforward in KDE, but I'd like to put my dvd's in and have VLC start them, i.e. open them to their features' menu automatically as I could in Gnome Can anyone describe me the steps clearly if this can be done?When I put a dvd in so far I get the right-hand options slide up in a box which mentions Dragon Player and K3b and so on. Dragon Player sems to get stuck if you accidentally hit the touchpad in the wrong place during a film, so I'd rather keep away from it

View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing Ubuntu Lucid & Eye of GNOME 2.30.
Eye of Gnome aka EOG does not open some jpgs, here's what happens.
With some jpgs only, most work fine!!
If you open one of the problematic jpg files by clicking on the jpg in Nautilus, EOG never fully opens, the process starts but the application's window does not get displayed - I then kill the process with kill -9 PID.
The same jpg opens in other viewers, EG. FSpot and OO Draw on Linux, and IrfanView on Windows.
If you start EOG from the App menu or the command line and drag a problematic jpg to it, the jpg is also not displayed, nothing happens. BUT if you start EOG with a working jpg and, once that is being shown, drag a problematic jpg from Nautilus to EOG's window then now the problematic jpg is displayed.
PS. Anyone know if there is an Eye of GNOME 2.32 (latest stable) deb package which I can download or if I can install EOG 2.32 from some other repositories? Aptitude and Synaptic have only v. 2.30.
I burned a bunch of files months ago on DATA dvds to keep copies just incase my external died, so i wanted to grab a few files, and the CD won't show up.
Some of them work, some dont, all were tested and confirmed to be working when i burned them a while back using Windows 7 and some where made using Vista
Me-TV was working fine. Now it will not open.
I click on the menu to open ME-TV and nothing happens.
Newish desktop with NVIDIA card. Again it was working fine, now it stopped.
Also, where do I find the error file in Ubuntu?
I've finally got ripperx to work, but is there a way to keep it open between CD's?After each CD the program closes, I'd rather just pop the next CD in and start.Since I have about 250 CD's to rip this is somewhat of a pain.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSomewhere along the line I have managed to get the below error when loading a jpeg in the gimp (either with 'open with' on context menu or directly)Running as an unprivileged user

This happens on a system running 10.04 / 64-bit. As I seem to recall a recent gimp update (might be wrong), I checked a 32-bit 10.04 laptop and it does not show the behavior. For information: the 64-bit system has some additional stuff installed for image processing (ufraw and darktable) but I have been using this already for a while without issues. The other main change on this 64-bit system before I noticed the problem was the installation of a geforce 8400 video card including the 'nomodeset' option in grub and install of the latest driver from the nvidia website. verify that the gimp on a 64-bit system is still functioning.Further a 'repair' from within synaptic throws the following error
Code:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp_2.6.8-2ubuntu1.2_amd64.deb: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2
Note: I found some messages regarding this problem on the web but they were referring to older kernels (2.6.8); and people reverted back to an even older kernel. And yes, there have been a recent kernel upgrade.
I'm trying to write a script that opens up vlc, opens up the playlist, and then opens up my music folder. So thus it looks like this so far;
Code:
#!/bin/bash
vlc &
# command to open up vlc playlist
gnome-open /media/files/multimedia/music
However, I seem to have no clue as to how to open vlc's playlist from a command. I know the hotkey for opening the playlist is "ctrl + L" but I don't know if this is useful at all.
I have been trying to get tvtime or any tv package to work with my Pinnacle PCTV HD usb but I have not had success. I have correctly installed every driver imaginable. So, here is what it what it comes down to: When I open tvtime it says "cannot open capture device /dev/video0" and the screen is blue. But my usb PCTV HD stick is NOT /dev/video0 so the question is how can I get tvtime to look for the usb tv tuner rather than video0?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI opened gstreamer-properties from the terminal. Following some directions from another thread, I changed the output to "custom" and filled in a box with a bunch of code that I didn't know anything about. I pressed "test" and it didn't work. Out of frustration, I deleted the text I had written in the box and closed gstreamer-properties. Now it won't open back up. When I try to open it from the terminal I get:
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink'
Segmentation fault
That's it. It won't open and when I try to open it directly from its source folder, nothing happens at all. How can I open it back up so I can continue to fiddle with it and (hopefully) fix this blue-tint problem.
I use Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. Sopcast player used to work properly, but from yesterday it does not open at all. It doesnt open when I click a link or even when I try to open from the menu.

I find mostly tips on how to use a cracked key. This is NOT what I'm looking for. If there is a way to make VidBlaster work on my system, great. If there is an open-source substitute.
