Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Seem To Get DivX Streams To Buffer Long Enough To Watch Them
Jun 29, 2010
I can't seem to get DivX streams to buffer long enough to watch them. I have installed DivX plugins and tried to use VLC, neither which, allow me to pause the video and allow the buffer to load. On Winblows and Mac, There was a different player that handled DivX streams that allowed for large buffering. I checked the /tmp folder while attempting to watch and the stream is not there. Is there another folder I should see the stream in? Is there a bug with the software, or can you only buffer DivX streams as long as they are running? I have a slow DSL connection and have no other way, other than torrents, to watch movies. And I would much rather wait a few minutes to watch the entire movie, than wait a few hours for the torrent to finish downloading.
I searched and found threads recommending mozilla-mplayer plugin in the synaptic packet thingymejig. Couldn't find it there myself and although I found a mplayer plugin in the other Ubuntu software library installation program, it didn't allow me to install it (there wasn't an install button!).
So is there a recommended way of getting Firefox to show mms streams?
I'm getting this error when restarting clamav-daemon:clamd libClamAV Error: cli_dbgets: Line too long for provided bufferThis happened on two systems today after I upgraded via apt. Versions used: Debian Lenny w/ clamav-daemon 0.96.3+dfsg-1~volatile1Has anyone seen this and know what to do? clamd seems to be running, and the
I boought some cartoons for my granddaughter on DVD. I want to put them on my LG PVR HDD/USB which plays Divx (.avi) Purely for storage and ease of access.
I've tried DVD::rip which creates a VOB file and I've tried converting this with Avidemux (qt) but the file it creates, although avi doesn't play - wrong codec? It doesn't recognise the vOB file.
I tried ripping it with Acidrip with the various codecs available, it created avi files but none would play, again PVR reports Wrong codec?
Am I missing something? Any other open source apps that will do it?
I have searched the forums and can't find the specific answer, so I will post the question here with the hopes to solicit a response: I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 beta and it is currently "stock." I would like to watch Divx videos on websites using Firefox.
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 was wondering if there's another way than gecko-mediaplayer to play divx movies on the web. In chromium gecko sometimes freezes,usually when only 10 minutes are left from the movie and that's just freaking annoying, and you can't fast forward or backward also. Though it has some good things too I would like to know if there's an alternative for it in chromium, something like using vlc as in firefox.
I cannot play DivX Movies with my Totem-Plugin in Firefox. But it only doesn't work with my User-Account. When I log in as root, it works without a problem. I'm assuming that that the problem lies somewhere in a config file that is different between my user account and my root account. However I'm pretty new to Linux so I don't know where to search.
My System:
OpenSuse 11.4 Firefox 6 Totem Browser-Plugin 2.32 with GStreamer 0.10.32
I can't seem to watch video from CBC's video player - here's an example stream that should play now: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Sports/Tim.../ID=1396204261
Or you can try any video from http://www.cbc.ca/video/ I can view the stream using FF in my winblows VM, but FF on Ubuntu Can anyone else get this to work in Firefox?
I had this setup and working before with some help, so I know it is possible.I want to use Mediatomb to transcode a Shoutcast NSV stream on the fly so I can watch it on my Playstation. I know I can use both mencoder/mplayer and VLC for the transcoding.I am running Ubuntu server 9.04 with the latest Mediatomb from the repo.
On a Karmic desktop with a Radeon 2600 hd video card, my screen goes black for a couple of seconds when opening an avi (divx or mjpeg).The video starts playing immediatly but I only see a black screen. Using Movie Player, its a black screen window, using vlc or gmplayer or mplayer ,the all screen goes black. It does not happen if I use the ati open source driver (but then flash full screen crashes...). I just installed the latest ati catalyst (10.2) and the problem remains.....
I'm looking for a program of some kind that I can combine 4 (if not 2 minimum) streams of video into one file. The only program so far that I've found that does this is avisynth but I can't seem to make it work at all. Does it even work under ubuntu? I've tried numerous guides and how to's but nothing seems to be working.
Basically I just need something that will take a video file, from several different sources (cameras placed around a car) and be able to place them in a grid form into one file. Basically in a format like this, where each letter is a different video file: a b c d
I am having problems listening to windows media streams from a particular website ( http://radiotime.com ) whenever I try to listen to a stream from firefox, the page loads then connects but i have no sound (i am actually trying to listen to those two chinese radios [URL].. I have the mplayerplug-in/gecko-mediaplayer installed, but it doesn't work, I tought that maybe there was a problem with that plugin so I deactivated it and installed the vlc plugin, after restarting firefox and trying to listen to those streams again, the vlc plugin tried to read it but it still would not work. I even tried to install the Silverlight Plug-In without any result, does anybody know what I could do to make windows media audio streams work ? it is wierd because i seem to be able to watch windows media video streams from other websites, but i cannot listen to any stream from this one, it used to work for mp3 streams only, but after desinstalling/resinstalling the mplayer plug in, it doesn't work anymore on this website. I can listen to those streams without any problem under windows 7, so the problem isn't coming from the website.
Is there a way to schedule recordings of Internet Radio streams? I found this thread using cron and Streamripper, but I'd like to find a package that has all the support in one wrapper.
I would like to record music streams on my computer, coming from the Firefox FLASH plugin, with audacity or something else.In ancient times I had a soundcard that allowed to enable loopback by sw, but my current soundcard (realtec ALC88 doesn't support it. I am looking for a sw based solution to record the sound (not a hw loopback cable). I need a GUI.I tried JACK, but this is horribly complicated, Audacity seems to support it, but does the FLASH player? Anyhow, I never got any sound stream rerouted to audacity through JACK.Isn't there a simple solution that allows to tap the digital audio stream at the output of the Flash player and write it to a file
Hi! This is my first post here, I'm back to openSUSE since the last version I used 10.1 and I'm really enjoying using 11.2 so far .
Banshee (or totem) can't play mmsh streams. I have packman repositorie activated and have installed all gstreammer plugins plus ffmeg and ffmpeg related gstreamer plugins and libmms0.
I can play mp3, xvid and other formats, but these streams are the only thing that does not work.
This is an eternal problem with radio-canada streaming content, and it seems every new version of ubuntu we have to go through different processes to get it to work.In some previous versions, following the guidelines provided by radio-canada worked, but they are quite outdated now and some of the packages they refered to do not even exist anymore. I make regular reports of their website, but users complaining only end up by, if they answer at all "it works on our computers so it should work on yours" or "why don't you use windows".
Basically, their guides consist of removing the totem totem plugin, installing flash-plugin-nonfree and the mplayer plugin.I read somewhere the mplayer plugin is now gecko-mediaplayer, which I installed, but the videos still don't work.
I'm getting silence when trying to record output from pulseaudio on my laptop. This wasn't happening the last time I tried, which, I admit, was almost certainly a previous ubuntu release (I'm on 10.10).
My sound card is an Intel ICH8-family device, supported by the snd_hda_intel module. PulseAudio calls it "Internal Audio Analog Stereo".
I'm doing various things that I find on the onlines, a few main ideas:
1. parec I use:
Code: parec -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor When I search for 'monitor' in $(pactl list), the only thing listed is alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor. I use sox to convert the output to wav: Code: sox -t raw -r 44k -e signed-integer -L b 16 -c 2 $RAWFILE $WAVFILE
i got major problems with mencoder.I work like this.1.) Demux Audio.2.) 2 Passes Encode. The second Encode includes the Audio.And there i got the problem:Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4100 in 1043395 bytes).Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.I tried likely anything possible.How to fix that ?Before that i got the issue with demuxing the audio where i got a massive amount of "Too many buffered pts" errors. I overcame this by adding the nocorrect-pts option.
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Remix on a new Asus EEE PC 1015PEM. Very pleased so far but have spent too many hours trying to fix what looks like a Licence error
I try to play some internet streams but when gstreamer is used as the phonon backend, Amarok never plays them. With Xine or VLC backend looks like I have no problems...
Exactly below you can find two of the streams I am trying.
I'm using ushare 1.1 with my xbox360 and I'm trying to stream an avi file. It loads up ok and starts to play then after a minute it stops and loads up more of the video. I seem to remember this happening with my ps3 and mediatomb as well. Is there something I can change on my router (bt home hub)? I have enabled port forwarding for the port that ushare is running on. here's my ushare.conf
I have a Philips saa7134 tv tuner i have configured it because of not having eeprom recognition. Now i am facing xawtv a delayed sound "pcm buffer overrun..." is there any way yo fix it. I use KDE, and aplay when playing sound in TVTime but still the same thing happens delayed sound. and is there any option in those players that i can set the channel frequency manually?
I recently did a fresh install of squeeze. I have the stock 32 kernel along with the 34 from experimental (it is listed as stable by kernel.org). I installed version 195.36.24 of the Nvidia driver using the Nvidia installer, and after starting X the system became unresponsive.
grep '^(E' /var/log/Xorg.0.log (EE) May 21 11:28:50 NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate primary buffer: out of memory. (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
I find this strange considering that I have used this driver with no problem on a 33 kernel and the same video card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] [10de:01d7] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:1212] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
[code]....
I believe it has 256MB of video memory, and I have 1GB of system memory. Is this just a problem with the 34 kernel?
