Ubuntu Multimedia :: Way To Actually Stream .asx Stuff Using Mplayer
Jun 20, 2010
I've finally found a way to actually stream .asx stuff using mplayer ( by extracting the actual link to the video from it ), and now I'd like to record it. In the asx, I've found a link to an .asf file, which I can stream using mplayer. How can I save this to view it locally?
I'd love to listen to a local radio station while working, but my problem is I can't seem to stream it at all.
The link is [URL], and when I click on the Live Radio link, it leads me to [URL] which contains a player which wouldn't load. On viewing its source, I saw the following:
has anyone tried ripping mms:// stream using mplayer? I managed to rip files succesfully as .asf files: There are quite a lot of inconveniences with asf files though, first you can not "jump" or "fastforward" to desired time. Second, it cannot be played with most other media players other than windows media player.Rename the file or save the asf file simply as mp3 DOESNT work. It only changes the extension, but the file itself still cannot be fastforwarded and nor can it be played with my other media player.
[URL] In Windows just click "Oua ou vivo" (Listen Live) and away you go (WMP). Can also select one of "S os melhore" (Just the hits) and it plays. In Ubuntu I've downloaded Amarok, MPlayer, Rhythm box, Streamtuner, & VLC, but am not going to live long enough to figure out how to stream with any of them (although "S os melhores" plays OK). how to stream this & any other WMP station. No problem with Flash stations such as [URL] by the way.
I have and avi file and an ac3 file that contains an alternate audio stream. I run mplayer like: mplayer -audiofile foo.ac3 bar.avi
mplayer takes the audio stream from the ac3 file as expected, but when I try to scroll the video using arrows or pgup/pgdown keys, the audio gets desynced: mplayer just starts playing the audio stream from the beginning. Do I have to pass any additional command line arguments in order to make it scroll properly without desyncing audio?
how to use tshark to know the address of the streams of online tv/satellite channels that are broadcast from online websites that hide the addresses of these streams. i would like to feed these stream addresses directly into mplayer so as to have more control over the playing of them, and to eliminate the drawbacks of the traditional flash player/windows media player web browser plugins.
I have these supposed missing 64 bit libs for everything on my main computer. I keep getting the following type messages whilst trying to get things working on a fresh 11.3 install on my test box. All these 64 bit things were installed on it before I wiped it and did a fresh install. I got it when I installed the codecs for gstreamer/kaffeine as well but went ahead and installed. Where did the 64 bit stuff go? I even changed packman mirrors.
I tried to install gstreamer through Rhythmbox but only got a "Fix broken packages first" error message. I tried to fix the broken packages in the Synaptic Package Manager but it said there were none to be fixed. I tried to install the gstreamer stuff from Synaptic Package Manager and got this message
Quote: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: Depends: libavcodec52 (>=3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable or libavcodec-extra-52 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libavformat52 (>=3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable or libavformat-extra-52 but it is not going to be installed
I then tried to install libavformat-extra-52 and got this message

Just picked up a SanDisk Sansa mp3 player. I used the package manager to DL a FAT16 sorter, but that didn't seem to work. Does anyone know of a package I might use or how to get this to work. Also, is there a script anyone has written to add all of the plugins and multimedia stuff on high use or the regular.
I've used VLC for years, in both windows and linux. In windows streaming, you can select "NONE" for a Video Input, and just stream audio. This is not the case for Ubuntu's version.What can I do to stream just audio in VLC?
i'm currently running ubuntu server 10.04, I would like to stream tv from the server to web address or maybe other tv front end. Is there any software for this
on my VLC, I set up a stream via: media -> streaming -> add an .avi and click on stream -> next -> select http, then clicked add -> selected theora/flac codec under OGG -> clicked next -> clicked stream.Here, I'm able to open another VLC player and connect to network[URL]I was just wondering if the IP address is what's needed to have them connect to me, or if it was something else? In addition, I disabled pglcmd and forwarded port 8080 for my IP.
Want 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.
I have been going through all the help files I can including here. I just can't get it going. I will post any info just give me a command and I will post results. I just want to be able to play movies and music and stuff.
I have been recording some demos from games like Quake 3, 4, and Doom 3. Now, I've been able to use Quake Video Maker in the past to take the Targa frames that the games export, and then combine those into a movie. However, it seems this time that QVM is spitting out some bad files. I try to watch the AVI file, but I just get this error message:
** Message: Error: Could not demultiplex stream. gstavidemux.c(3526): gst_avi_demux_stream_header_pull (): /GstPlayBin2lay/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/GstAviDemux:avidemux0: pull_range flow reading header: unexpected
I figured that if I import it into Kino, then I should be able to edit just fine. Except, when I import it into Kino, the video just hangs on the first frame for the first half, and then plays the whole video at double the speed.Is there a better package that will take a lot of image files and export them into a movie file? Preferably one where I don't have to add each frame manually, as the demo I'm working with now has 5000+ frames.
I have two networked Ubuntu 10.40 machines and I am trying to stream audio from one machine to the other. I find on the surface everything works - I simply installed padevchooser and set the pulseaudio sink to the other machine. Now here comes the problem - whenever I do anything else involving network activity the sound crackles and hangs and it becomes hopeless. I've seen people elsewhere online complaining about crackling in relation to CPU usage but I can't find anyone talking about network usage.
In particular I often work on my office computers over VNC. I try to fire up VNC and it starts to load the remote desktop and the sound completely fails. I assume this is some kind of latency issue? Another good example is trying to watch a video on ..... - the sound plays at first but then as the video is being downloading in the background the stream starts to mess up. Listening to an mp3 in totem with no other network activity works fine.
I have a NAS set up (ubuntu server 10.04) which contains all my music. But when I play music from it, I can not see how long the song is and I can not skip to a specific time in the song. When I play video, all works well.
We are able to stream the video fine from while the flv file is located in the /var/videos/flv folder. We have a second volume that we formatted and mounted as /media/data/videos/flv. We have changed the path in the lighttpd config file to match this. When we play the video we are receiving:200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip" "[Clip]"/media/data/videos/flv/test.flv".
I'm back with irritating questions. Ubuntu headless server, 10.04
I would like to set up my Linux box as a media streamer. I have Media Tomb set up so that the PS3, Xbox and other PCs can access my media over the LAN but I want to listen to my music on my iPhone when I am at work. What is the best way to do this? I have searched the interwebs as well as these forums with confusing results. I have found many options to stream while on my LAN but few to stream over the internet.
I rarely watch video on my iPhone so that is not a feature I need, just music.
While I am making a thread, is there anything that will stream .mov files to my PS3? I'd love to be able to watch my HD iPhone vids on the large TV in the living room.
I have an old computer that I have put Ubuntu on. I would like to connect it to my stereo and stream audio to it from my laptop, so that it plays through the stereo.
I'm hoping to find some software to put onto this old computer to make it work similarly to an airport express. Anyone know of any software like this?
Divx webplayer in Windows can download and save a divx video file while streaming, so the stream is recorded to the hdd or sth. How can I do this in Ubuntu? In addition to Ubuntu Videoplayer I have installed Gnome Mplayer and VLC Player. Will any of this do the trick? If yes, how exaytly would I proceed?
I'm having a problem running Mplayer in Ubuntu 9.1. I've installed and uninstalled several times. Mplayer refuses to open from the applications menu.n I attempt to open from terminal it comes up with the following: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavcodec.so.52: file too short I've also tried other players such as Gnome Mplayer to play the video and it plays really fast with no audio or video. This has really been the only problem i've run into since switching from windows to linux two weeks ago.
I've installed both mplayer and mplayer-gui packages, but I cannot find and launch mplayer with graphical interface. I want the classic mplayer's gui and seems that isn't there after installed. Doesn't appear ind applications on launcher and when I'm trying to run from terminal the mplayer-gui command I get the error:command not found. So, where is mplayer-gui and how to get it back. This problem doesn't exist in any previous ubuntu version.
I'm currently using Debian Testing with Debian Multimedia Sid repos. The current Mplayer (3:1.0~rc4+svn20110308-0.0) seems to be broken - I can't encode AAC to AC3 on-the-fly anymore. I'd like to compile the latest snapshot or SVN version, but what is the easiest way to compile it with the same options as the one in debian-multimedia.org?
My girlfriend just got the new dell inspirion mini with ubuntu on it, and when she tries to stream videos on her laptop it wont let her it says she needs either a windows comp. or a macintosh, is there any way i can get her computer to stream these videos off netflix?
