Debian Multimedia :: VLC Playback Broken By Deb-multimedia Upgrade
Jun 14, 2011I am using debian squeeze and did an aptitude upgrade yesterday. Today I've found that VLC won't play any video; the files open and the audio plays, but the video is black. The aptitude log is below.
I note that VLC received a security upgrade a few days ago, but my suspicion is that the source of this problem is more likely to be the upgrade of libavcodec52 from version 4:0.5.2.6 -> 5:0.6.1+svn20101128-0.2. I believe this upgrade came from the debian-multimedia stable repo I have enabled.
Does this sound right, and what could I do to fix my VLC playback? This is new territory for me, and I'm slightly surprised that such an upgrade would come from the stable branch of debian-multimedia (although I know this is not an official source).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Movie Playback On 10.04?
May 31, 2010Yesterday 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: DVDs Playback With Odd Colors
Jan 30, 2010I recently upgraded my girlfriend laptop to 9.10 and now, for some odd reason, when she plays DVDs on her laptop (the most recent attempt was the latest Harry Potter movie) the movie would play back fine but the colors for everything were way off. I've re-added the medibuntu software sources to her system and applied all available updates but it didn't help.
This problem did not occur on my own computer when attempting to play the exact same DVD.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Playback Like In Windows 7
Feb 14, 2010Is there any way to make Ubuntu play sound like Windows 7? I mean when i, for example, listen to music in Windows 7 the sound is much clearer and besides that i can use room correction to obtain a better surround feeling, but when i listen to music in Ubuntu the sound is not very clear and it sounds like stereo even though the sound is played back through all the speakers (the bass is also a little bit to high).
So far i've tried installing the alsa driver and modifying the output levels of each channel, but didn't quite have the same result as the room correction feature in Windows, and the sound wasn't any clearer either. Note: I have an onboard Realtek soundcard and Logitech x530 speakers
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Intermittent VLC Crashes During Playback
Apr 8, 2010I've been running into issues with VLC crashing now and again, particularly when seeking through the current item using the bar (as opposed to Ctrl-Right Arrow/Left Arrow); it may have happened in a few other spots, but that's usually when I'm not at my keyboard. All files are stored locally on my HD, mostly .avi video. For the most part, when I'm using VLC, I've got Firefox and maybe a Nautilus window running as well. CPU use, Memory use, and System load stay pretty well down (and I've never managed to get my swap usage above 120MiB of the 1.2GiB on the Swap partition).
I've tried removing and reinstalling VLC, no dice; about screen lists Ver 1.0.2 Goldeneye. A side effect of this is that, until I restart the system, the screen is unable to be put to sleep at it's timeout; in the notification bar of the top panel, an icon appears and (if the mouse is left there) a little box will appear with text as follows:
Session active, not inhibited, screen idle.
If you can see this text, your display server is broken and you should notify your distributor.
Please see [URL] for more information.
The URL there listed doesn't have any information that seems to be useful, but, I'd presume that VLC does something to prevent the screen turning off while it's playing (a situation where most folks aren't going to be typing or mousing around), which is undone when VLC ends cleanly (and re-opening, then exiting doesn't fix it).
Ubuntu Multimedia :: DVD Playback Not Working Even With Restricted?

Aug 8, 2010On almost each mp3 file I try to play, VLC will "lag" during the first seconds. There may be some screeching noise. It looks like vlc can't keep up with the bitrate, and it "skips" some bits.
This doesn't happen with totem (the default media player).
Ubuntu Multimedia :: DVD Playback Failure On New Install 10.04
Aug 9, 2010I have tried loading/playing (many different) dvds via VLC / new install of 10.04 (on a laptop through which I had been able to play / burn / rip dvds until I "upgraded")...this is what transpires:

Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/sr0".
Your input can't be opened:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: CD / DVD Creator - No Proper Playback
Aug 11, 2010I have a DVD that I am trying to burn to a disc. What I have is a VIDEO_TS folder. First I burned just that to the disc and it plays fine in my standard DVD player, but when I try to play it back using Ubuntu's Movie Player, it acts like it is going to play for a split second and then goes into stop mode. So, I tried burning the disc again, but this time I added and empty AUDIO_TS folder to it. Still plays fine on the DVD player, but in Movie Player it plays the menu. Only it doesn't show any image, just a '>' symbol that you can move with the mouse.

Aug 12, 2010I'm having some issues with DVD playback. Blu-ray playback is not an issue (at least no more than it is for anyone else using Linux), but when I try to play a DVD the video is garbled and choppy, same as the audio. (see attached picture).
I'm using an Asus BR-04B2T blu-ray reader and an Evgo nVidia gtx460 with nvidia-current drivers.
I removed the blu-ray drive and put a friends dvd drive into my computer to test and see if it's the graphics card or the drive, and the DVD player worked perfectly, flawless playback, so I know it's the drive.
Also the drive is not faulty. Both DVD and Blu-Ray work fine under my windows 7 partition.
I forgot to mention, VLC behaves the same as all other players, as shown in this picture. Also you can almost make out that I'm trying to watch the Simpson's box set my friend got me.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: AVI Video Playback Tearing?
Oct 23, 2010I'm sorry if this was asked before (i know it was but never worked for me) 2 days ago I installed ubuntu 10.10, my very first linux OS and I immediately fell in love with it.The only problem now, is tearing during video playback (I'm a perfectionist with a thing for fine details, so this is literally killing me)
I have nVidia 9200M GS (HP laptop)
I've set nVidia setting to sync vblank and disabled it in compiz
I've also disabled PowerMizer..
I love the system to give up some vsync issues in moving windows, but i just can't get over video tearing. I'm ready to install anything, change anything, even do a new clean install to get it working. UPDATE: Installed SMPlayer, works fine but drops couple of frames every 5 secs or so (more annoying than tearing lol) is there any specific settings that can fix that?
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Music Playback Too Fast In 10.04?
Oct 27, 2010I am having music playback issues in lucid right now. When I try to play music through any player, the music plays at a slightly higher speed - roughly 10% faster (a 3:17 song finishes in 2:5. I tried installing 10.10 and had the same problem, and I just went back to 10.04 with a fresh install and still seeing the issue. Is this a common problem for people? My sound hardware is the following as reported by lspci
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
For reference, I also have 2 other boxes in the house running 10.04 with different sound hardware with no issues. Their hardware are:
00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Playback And Record At Sametime ?
Feb 22, 2011I wish to record what I hear, and hear it through the speakers at the same time. Doesn't sound to unreasonable.
I first of had problems getting it to record anything at all, so threads here and here helped.
The problem I have is I can only switch between having playback/volume/output through the speakers AND no feed/volume to the recording process, OR the recording process has a audio source but I cannot hear it!
Im sure I had it working so it played out the speakers and recorded briefly, but dont know what I've done!
I installed many audio type packages along the way to getting it to record at all. I dont know what I need and dont.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Xine DVD (iso) Playback Broken In 10.10?
Mar 23, 2011I recently updated all my desktop/laptop and MythTV boxes to 10.10 and now Xine freezes if I hit any key or try to exit. No error message or anything, just freezes. It happens on ALL my machines. I can watch the movie fine as long as I don't hit any keys
sample launch:
xine --no-splash -V Xv dvd://mnt/mserv/DVD/ZATOICHI.iso
Everything worked fine in 10.04. I would love to eventually switch to MPlayer, VLC, or something else but I haven't found one that reliable supports menus, chapters, multiple audio tracks, 5.1 surround output, etc. from an ISO file. Why has no one caught up to Xine?
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Ogv And Mp4 Video Playback Looks Scrambled?
Apr 8, 2011Both MP4 and OGV playback completely weird on my Ubuntu 10.04.2 laptop:
The resolution/length/etc is correct, but the picture is all weird. Webm doesn't work at all.
I tried mplayer, kmplayer, smplayer, gxine, totem and kplayer. All the same.
However, the exact same video's play back normally in HTML5 pages with a bunch of browsers on the same machine. They also play back normally on a Windows machine. There is no DRM involved.
Aren't these gstreamer en mplayer based players supposed to handle this correctly?
This is an Intel Core i3 machine with Intel HD graphics.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Kubuntu (Maverick) - No CD Playback
Aug 6, 2011Using Kubuntu Maverick. It's probably all my fault but I cannot get CD's to play.
Amarok: for the life of me, I cannot understand how to get CDs to play. In Lucid Lynx CD playing was unusable because it would crash by the second or third song; now, I cannot even get the program to start playing my CD.
KsCD: worked in Lucid Lynx, crashes in Maverick.
KPlayer: it does play the CD, but it does so jerkily, that is, it stops every 10-15 seconds. Unusable.
Kubuntu is not a crappy OS that cannot even play a CD.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video Playback On Dell Laptop?
Jan 15, 2010I have a Dell Latitude CPi that has 400MHz Intel Processor and 256 MB of ram. It has a Neomagic Corporation NM2360 [MagicMedia 256ZX]. I have it set to 16 bit color depth and it is using the neomagic driver. My problem is that it cannot play any video of any size flash, or saved to hard drive. It has a fps so low that I can see it rendering each frame going across the screen. It doesn't seem to have a problem with animated pictures, just actual video files. I don't know whether or not this matters but the card set is known to not support 3d acceleration. I can run any commands in terminal and have a good understanding of the linux environment. This problem has occurred under Ubuntu and Xubuntu and still happens if I use a light weight WM like fluxbox.

Feb 8, 2010Installed Skype latest version on a Mythbuntu 9.10 pretty vanilla install.

Mythbuntu is really pared back, so I will likely have to install, I like to keep it to the minimum. What is the easiest way most people test a mic? Second, just in general, what could cause this to act this way. I don't see anything in the mixer that makes me think it is causing it
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: X11 Video Playback Blue Saturation
Feb 21, 2010When trying to playback DVDs in VLC media player, I have to switch the video output driver to get any playback.If I leave it on "Default" (which I think is defaulting to "XVideo Extension Video Output"), I get a solid green or blue screen (which I also get with "Xvideo Extension Video Output")If I switch it to "OpenGL Video Output", I get proper DVD playback but it is kind of pixelated and ugly.If I switch it to "X11 Video Output", I get DVD playback that is very crisp and sharp, the image quality is great.unfortunately, the colors are completely messed up and the blue is completely saturated.I've played with the color settings (especially the Hue setting), but I can't get the colors to look right.
I'd really like to use the x11 video output since the quality is the best, but I can't get the colors right.the first one (Screenshot.png) is OpenGL output, and the second (Screenshot-1.png) is X11 output.It's also worth noting that I am on an IBM ThinkPad R32 with an ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 (or M6, or M6 LE, whatever you wanna call it).I'm running a fully updated 9.04 Jaunty installation.
