Ubuntu Multimedia :: Finding Divx Webplayer For 10.04?
Mar 21, 2010
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.
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?
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 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 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
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 opened Firefox Add-ons and looked at the Plug-ins. Firefox says the DivX Web Player is in need of a security update. How do I update this? I clicked the button but nothing happens.
I've got a couple DVDs in .iso format, and I'd like to convert them to DivX, but I can't see to get anything to load the .iso. I've also tried mounting it and loading it, and it doesn't work.
Got a Sony Ericsson K800i which I tether by USB. I'm having trouble finding the port for the config file, I have used HWINFO and I can see my phone but on the 'Linux.sysfs_path' parameter it doesnt state which tty I am on.
Anybody have any suggestions as I would really like to be able to read my sms messages on my system while hooked up.
Having a few problems with some downloaded movies, using Ubuntu.
All my downloaded divxs, using WIndows,can be plaid on my home cinema (with divx-player). But when i download a movie, using Ubuntu, even it is a divx, it will not play on my home cinema.
I think it's not the fault of my divx-player, but maybe it has something to do with Ubuntu?
hate it using windows for downloading some movies.
My home theatre is from Samsung, but that has nothing to do with it, I think.
I have burned dvds with Divx for windows and likes it because they were compatible with most dvd players out there where .AVI is not. I need to find a GUI for Divx 6.1.1 or another application that will burn Divx
I installed VLC on SuSe 11.0 but it isnt playing .avi movies, it gives this error but plays soung no video "No suitable decoder module:VLC does not support the audio or video format "mp4v". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."I have tried the options for dowloading divx codecs completed successfully but "sudo apt-get update" gives an error "bash apt-get". commamnd not found.
were do i get the .dev files for libx264 0.98 i think is the version it is asking for.I install the latest libx264 from git or does that install the .dev file also.
I recently changed hardware in my gaming pc, and am now left with a bunch of loose parts, from which I intend to build a mediacenter. what software is most suited for below mentioned needs.
- recording tv from dvb-c tuner, HD support preferable - play video, foto and music from my NAS - browser for renting moviestreams, showing NFL Gamepass, ..... etc.
My own suggestion is Ubuntu 10.04/10 with added MythTV, but I would like your opinion if this is the best sollution or if something else would make my life easier.
My hardware is:
CPU: Intel core2dou E8500 MB: Asus P5G41-M TV-tuner: TerraTec Cinergy C PCI, HD-Support
I have some video files that are in H.264/MPEG-4 with 5.1ch AAC audio. I also have the 2 channel audio. I cant stream or play MPEG-4 w/5.1 with my 360 so I need to remux the video with the 2 channel audio. Its easy as pie with YAMB but how can I do it with Linux?
when editing an mp4 file from videos with avidemux, the editing works perfectly but the resulting video sound is speeded up but the image runs at normal speed. the resulting mess is out of synch video/sound.
I've been trying to get my HP dc5750 computer to produce sound, but so far there hasn't been any joy.That is until today! I found out that there isn't a sound module for the card that is in the computer. I know that is no reason to be happy, but at least now I know the reason why the sound doesn't work.My sound card is an HBA ATI SB.How do I go about finding a sound module?If that module can be found, how would I go about installing it?I'm new Linux and don't know anything about programming.
Yes I know there was so many themes created about broadcasting shoutcast radio, but I wasn't got information where program work good. I have tried IDJC, but not work. I need the program that I just install it and works. Program should have 2 audio players (1 is good too) and microphone "player" for talking (key OFF/ON).
