Ubuntu Multimedia :: Play WMV Files In (Lucid 10.04)

Jun 30, 2010

I was having a terrible time playing some WMV files and I finally got it working this way:
Based on this: [URL]

Step 1 Add the Medibuntu repositories to sources
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
by adding this at the bottom of the file then saving

Code:
#medibuntu repositories
deb [URL] lucid free non-free

Step 2 Update for that change to take effect
Code:
sudo apt-get update

Step 3 Install the w32codecs [you won't find it if Medibuntu repositories are not in place]
Code:
sudo apt-get install w32codecs
Step 4 Install Kplayer [so far the only player I can get to work for WMV files]

Code:
sudo apt-get install kplayer

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Play MIDI / Play Or Preferably Convert (MP3) Old SNG Files?

Aug 11, 2010

I need to play or preferably convert (i.e. to MP3) old SNG files, which contain voice records. From what I could find, it's basically a MIDI created by synthetiser. I think it was recorded by some ancient VLC player. I failed so far to play it on anything I could download.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: DVDs Won't Play In Lucid / Get It To Work?

Apr 29, 2010

I just installed 10.04 and am pleased w/ things, for the most part.

However, I cannot get a DVD disc to play (a movie, for instance) or be recognized unless I shut down the system and restart (provided I have already launched a Web video, or something). The DVD-ROM is dead to the world as far as disc recognition goes.

Things were just great in Karmic so this is completely confusing to me.

Does anyone have a fix?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Play Dvds In Lucid 64bit

May 3, 2010

just updated to lucid and i went to install medibuntu and following the instructions on this page [URL] just like i did in Karmic but after i have done everything that i had to do in Karmic to get it to work i tried to play a dvd in totem and it pops up and says

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

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

No packages with the requested plugins found

The requested plugins are: DVD subpicture decoder

I click ok and then the dvd starts to play and says internal data flow error

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Lucid Fresh Install Totem Won't Play DVD Iso?

May 10, 2010

Just upgraded 4 machines from Karmic to Lucid. 2 of them I used synaptic to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and two I used apt-get from command line. The synaptics will not play a DVD iso in totem while the two from the command line will just fine. If I install VLC on the two that don't work, it plays the iso just fine.

I have purged libdvdread4 and reinstalled with no luck. It offends my sense of perfectness that two machines that used to run dvd iso's fine no longer do.

I did read a blog post somewhere that ubuntu-restricted-extras installed via synaptic does not get everything.

Debian Multimedia :: Can't Play MP3 Files With Play (sox)

Mar 10, 2015

I have tried to play mp3 files with sox play.

The result I get is:

play FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `mp3'

I have installed all libsox packages I could find, including libsox-fmt-mp3 and libmad0.

sox -h though, gives me:

AUDIO FILE FORMATS: 8svx aif aifc aiff aiffc al amb amr-nb amr-wb anb au avi avr awb cdda cdr cvs cvsd cvu dat dvms f32 f4 f64 f8 ffmpeg flac fssd gsm gsrt hcom htk ima ircam la lpc lpc10 lu m4a m4b maud mp4 mpg nist ogg prc raw s1 s16 s2 s24 s3 s32 s4 s8 sb sds sf sl sln smp snd sndfile sndr sndt sou sox sph sw txw u1 u16 u2 u24 u3 u32 u4 u8 ub ul uw vms voc vorbis vox wav wavpcm wmv wv wve xa
PLAYLIST FORMATS: m3u pls
AUDIO DEVICE DRIVERS: alsa ao oss ossdsp pulseaudio

(no mp3 mentioned there).

The reason I try to play mp3 files with sox is that I wanted to play a playlist with different formats and feed it to ices2 through a pipe, ie :

sox Musik/storlista.pls -t raw - | ices2 ices-pcm.xml sox

FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `mp3'

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Aplay Does Not Play Some Wav Files?

Jan 28, 2010

My audio is working on my recent koala install. System wav files play without a problem.

However, when I open a terminal to play my own wav files I get an error. (I encountered this problem merely by trying to setup an incoming mail notification with CheckGmail....)

The command: aplay /home/saskms/Music/test.wav

The error: aplay: test_wavefile:807: can't play WAVE-file format 0x0002 which is not PCM or FLOAT encoded

I think I have installed all the necessary gstreamer options. I am guessing that maybe I just need to re-rip the WAV file into a different format. I also tried doing searches on the error, but yielded no results.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Play VOB Files In Sequence?

Sep 11, 2010

I'm new to this. The VIDEO_TS folder has a bunch of VOB files sequentially names along with BUP and IFO files. But when I start up VLC and choose 'Open Dir' and point to the VIDEO_TS file, it plays a short trailer of the movie and does not move onto the rest of the VOB files. Is there a was to play them sequentially? or is the only way to select the files in the order in which to play them and then play them all?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Not Play Flash Files?

Mar 7, 2011

I just recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my computer it's a Pentium 4, 2,26 GHz, 1 GB RAM, and 2 40 GB HDD... I ran update manager and installed all the updates. I installed all the Ubuntu restricted extras and I can play all the formats but .flv; there's sound but the all I can see are lines and static.I ran the tests and see if my video card was properly working and all seemed OK. Also every time I play a ..... video or from another site that uses flash the computer totally crashes. I installed Chromium and see if the problem had to do with Firefox but chromium also totally crashes. after rebooting I tried playing another Internet video, but all I could get was a blank screen with sound.

Another issue I had was that right after the installation I could not set the screen resolution higher than 800x600, I don't know if the problem with the flash and the screen resolution are related =X

Is it at all fathomable to play .qcp files on Ubuntu 11.04? I REALLY want to... I recorded this totally amazing trumpet player, and I need to play this audio to learn more.

"There is no application installed for RIFF audio files." Is what I get when I double click it.

WAIT! VLC does it! OMG YAY! With skips in the audio How can I convert to mp3

Download this: [URL]

It converts any mobile file to a file of your choice, it worked PERFECTLY for my .qcp file, converted it from qcp to mp3 with no problem, no skips, full file.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Play Mkv Files Properly

Jun 28, 2011

I owned a eee pc 900HA netbook which I installed with Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP on separate partition...

I've been using Ubuntu for almost 2 years now and the thing is, I still got this problem since 9.10.

In Windows, I was able to play an .mkv files fully playable on 480p but not with 720p. In Ubuntu, it have problem even playing 480p mkv files and also with flv 480p. 720p is already out of question. By default, it'll download a codec used to play mkv files when the first time I try to run the video.

I have no problem with playing other format (AVI, OGG) on 480p or lower mkv, flv resolution. Is there a reason why it can't run normally on Ubuntu but perfectly rendered in Windows?

I've try almost all codec (mplayer, totem, vlc) but still have problem running at full speed.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Play Files On System Correctly?

Apr 24, 2010

I have an anime series (about 24 episodes, each 325-350 megabytes each) encoded in .mkv format, high quality (1280x720). It took quite some time to download this series, however no matter what I do, I cannot get the files to play correctly under Ubuntu. I have tried several different media players, including VLC, Movie player, and Mplayer, and none work correctly. VLC will play the first 15-20 seconds fine, and then stop the video and go back to the beginning. I however, do realize that my laptop isn't high-spec, and isn't really built for HD video playback (1.6ghz single core athlon CPU, 4 gigs of ram, integrated radeon x1250 graphics chip.)

I can play these files on my system and have them play correctly? (Without lag or stuttering?) Also the anime is subtitled, so I would want to make sure the subs work correctly, and preferably have the audio in sync with the video.
