Ubuntu Multimedia :: Get A Player That Would Be Compatible With Rockbox?
Oct 2, 2010
I was going to get a player that would be compatible with rockbox, but instead I wound up with a coby 707 mp3 player. It's nice enough but dragging and dropping is all I can do to get music on it. I was wondering if there is a way to manually create a playlist and pop it in with the music files?
I installed Rockbox and i just can't get it to work on my mp3 player. I have a sansa clip + mp3 player.I dragged two files to the player's folder. they were supposed to work on my sansa clip +. One of the files was a boot file i think it was mb..
I am looking for a good mp3 player. I obviously dislike apple n windows so I wont buy an iPod or Zune player. Now I am wondering if any of you had good experience with any other mp3 player on Ubuntu. The two things I want are firstly a product of high quality n functionality like those two mentioned above AND secondly a seamless ubuntu compatibility. I'd love to see synchronization and stuff working out of the box. Anyone out there found a outstanding product and like to give a recommendation?
I am trying to connect a Sansa Clip Zip with rockbox firmware. Debian does not recognise/automount the drives (4gb of internal mem and 32gb sdhc card) whereas Mint 17 had no problem with them.
Are there additional libraries needed? I believe the filesystem is FAT32 rather than anything more exotic so not sure why it doesn't recognise the drives. The clip zip charges but doesn't mount.
I need to know which version of flashplayer I need to instal for ubuntu 9.10. when I go to adobe and hit install, i have to choose which version I want for linux. Which one is needed for ubuntu 9.10?
I tried playing a movie on the computer and nothing happened. Thats when I figured out I don't have a program to play the movie so my question is what dvd player program is good? Also is the source and slackbuild going to be on the slackbuild website so I can download it? The reason I ask the last question is because I tried to install swiftfox and opera but they don't have the source or slackbuild for them. For an older version of opera they did have the slackbuild and source but not the new one.
I have tried to download vlc media player but the file type is a .exe file which is a windows file, and that wont run or even open on the linux system. How to find a compatable vlc for linux!
I used to use iPodLinux, but I just did it for fun as it didn't support my iPod at that time. Now I decided to install Rockbox, and I'm having problems. I downloaded the utility for Linux, but I can't run the file. I really don't know what to do. I tried './', 'sh', and some other things I don't remember.
Crystal Player has one very good playback speed troubleshooting feature - it uses large buffer of decoded frames (about 50% of RAM). Is there any player with such features in ubuntu?
I have a DVD with a error located at a certain time. Each time I watch the DVD and then come to that point Movie Player (or vlc player) returns a error. Now I want to rip this DVD but all the rippers I tried return a error at that point when they try to rip it. Rippers I tried:
- dvd::rip - FFMPEG - Acidripper - Avidemux
Now I want to know ain't there a ripper which can read over these errors and still make a decent rip?

I've been away from Linux for a while, so I need to get informed about some of the 32- vs. 64-bit issues concerning video players and codecs. So, what is everyone using these days?
More specifically, is it possible to play, e.g., .wmv files with 64-bit Kaffeine (my favorite player) or any other 64-bit video player? If so, then which combination of player and codec should I use?

My computer is a Dell Dimension 2350 (all factory stuff inside besides RAM cards) with a Intel 845G (I'm almost positive but id have to check windows to see, Factory made also). how do i get my video drivers compatible wiith ubuntu?

Im trying to use a Gnome theme designed for Ubuntu on Debian. Ive installed it into /usr/share/themes and the window border and close, minimise maximise buttons show up right but the other controls (buttons, scrollbars, progress bars etc) dont and default to the generic ones.
I know nothing about how themes work really but I assumed as long as both distros were using Metacity it would work?
I got my UGA video adapter in, when purchasing it I saw on its requirements that is showed it had linux support. However, when plugged it in and restarting no image but the default green image was shown. All wires are check and are plugged in. However, I am not seeing on the computer monitor and no 2nd monitor is found on the monitor settings. Also I would like to note that according to a little research, is that the usb video adapter uses displaylink. I am using Ubuntu 11.04, classic ubuntu and 2D unity desktop.
I had to build it with nls (locales) and the mozilla-plugin disabled, due to the Lenny libc6 causing problems.

I have had reports of the aspect ratio being weird for ATI cards, as well as no full screen, but it works fine in the Virtual Box Lenny, as well as on my Intel graphics.
You will also need the lenny-backports repo, to get some missing or updated libraries. see backports.org
You would need to install the vlc-data deb first, then you can install the rest of the debs: (except for the -dbg version, unless you need it) dpkg -i *386.deb
If you have missing dependencies, you get an error=1, so get the missing dependencies with aptitude -f install or apt-get -f install. You may have to manually install the lenny-backports libraries if you have trouble. You actually don't need the -dev, dbg, and most of the other libraries, so you may want to look at what the vlc metapackage needs and install those.
Does anyone know an Ubuntu 10.10 compatible video capture card that has composite connections for video and audio (yellow, red and white)? It must be external and do its own processing so it doesn't use the computer's own CPU. I intend to capture a live stream and have the Ubuntu PC serve it to other computers. I may use VLC or MythTV. I have looked on various related sites but finding a compatible USB one which does its own decoding is hard to find.
I've got: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller as vga screen, and I would like to be able to change brightness and contrast.
The one in upstream has problems, but reading the bug reports provided the answer. I disabled the building of the python2.5 modules, and added python-httplibs2 as a Depends, and it magically started to work. Deb file and source: [URL] This is a temporary location, I'm sure upstream will have a fixed version soon.
Ubuntu insists on using movie player as the default for audio files. I would like to use VLC. VLC doesn't show up on the list as preferred applications for multimedia. I tried using custom with vlc %u but it doesn't work.
Ubuntu convert for 1 year and counting and loving it more and more every day. My main PC isn't playing nice with my ipod, and of all the music software out there, I enjoy songbird the most.I dig its clean lines and iTunes-esque file management. Now of course comes the question.I connected my ipod to my computer, and it doesn't show up on Songbird. There's no add-on for ipod device support either. What gives? Is there anyway to combine my favorite MP3 player and my favorite multimedia software into one delicious sushi roll?
I have a Sansa Fuze MP3 player but when I connect it to my computer Ubuntu doesn't recognize that there is anything connected. When I connect it to my computer nothing happens, like nothing is even plugged in. How do I install it or get it to recognize the MP3 player?
my Sansa Clip+ 4gb mp3 player isn't detected at all in nautilus. my usb memory stick shows up nicely though. i should also mention, this same mp3 player is detected just fine on my work computer (pclinuxos - lxde) - rrrr....
