Ubuntu Multimedia :: Matroska Mkv 720p Videos Not Playing Smoothly
Oct 31, 2010
i have acer 5532 with ati raden hd 3200. on windows xp, all 720p files play nicely in media player classic (with klite) but when i switched to ubuntu, inoticed that SOME 720p videos are not playing smoothly at all (frame skipping..freezing etc) but the audio is ok-ish. after a bit research i found out that only the matroska avi/mkv HD files cannot be played smoothlly. i have installed the restricted extras and proprietary ati drivers.

When I play 720p videos they lag on my machine. Can I play them without any lags? The config is in my signature. I'm using GNOME & tried to play 720p videos in Totem & MPlayer but the video lagged in both of them.

I am running ubuntu on my netbook and use vlc media player, for some reason when I play 720p videos they get choppy and freeze constantly, is there a way around this or the videocard that comes with the netbook is having problems supporting it ?

This is true for .flv, .avi, .mov, and .mp4, at least. This is true in both vlc and movie player. Thumbnails generated from frames in the videos appear correctly in nautilus. Videos play fine in firefox, on ....., but I downloaded one as an .flv and then it had the same problem. I have restricted extras freshly installed. My "Ubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala" system is fully updated. I've found several other forum posts about the same kind of problem, but I couldn't find anything helpful in them (like that the contrast setting might be WAY out of whack, which it wasn't, or that nvidia drivers needed to be updated or reinstalled, which I don't have anyway, etc).

When I play a video file whether with VLC or Movie Player the system will crash. The screen will go black with some text output (all I can quickly read is something about pulse audio) then flash black, then text, then black over and over. I tried to edit a video with Pitivi and the system crashed too. I saw an error about gstreamer that time. I set multimedia to No Xv and the test works but when playing an avi the system still crashes. If I test the multimedia with autodetect the system crashes.

i have no problem. But with user2, when i start to read a video file, i have no image, just a black screen.The sound is ok, the time is running normally, but no image. *It tested with vlc and gnome-media-player, it is the same. *I have no error message, when I start the program in a console. *I suspected a permission problem, and i checked all the groups, but i don't see any difference between user1 and user2.

I am trying to setup a media server running Debian 7.8 and the minidlna 1.0.24. My TV is a Toshiba 50L7300UC and can play music and show images via the DLNA. It will play .mkv videos too, but when I try to play an .mp4 video it says "Unsupported file". If I put the same .mp4 video onto a USB and plug that into the TV, the TV plays it no problem.
When testing streaming to my phone, everything works (music, pictures, MKV and MP4 videos).
How I can get the MP4 videos to stream to my TV?

Online videos (..... for example) is not running ok. It doesn't run in a constant way. I pauses as if my PC was from the 1960s. It happens in Opera and Firefox as well.

I went to mozilla, installed the tar ball package into /opt/, then double clicked on the shell script named firefox inside the /opt/firefox folder.I go to a few sites that stream videos kind of in a way YouTube does as well. So when I go to play the file which is typically in a jwplayer. Firefox thinks I am trying to open to save the file? It attempts to play the video inside dragonplayer, I just want it to run the video. I have also uninstsalled IceWeasel, running KDE shell. x64.

I am using chrome Version 50.0.2661.75 (64-bit) running on Debian (Gnome).
I am having the following problem, since yesterday every time I want to play a video (for ex [URL]watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc) The music, logo in the video and functions work but the video doesn't play. I reinstalled Chrome, clean all the data, disable all the plugins, I tried as incognito and several other options and it doesn't work, before yesterday it was working (yesterday I updated all Debians packages).

What I mean by black screen is that whenever I view a video or if there is video content anywhere on the page, my whole monitor goes black for around 3 seconds then plays the video content.
I am running Jessie 8.2 by the way.

I'm considering getting a new motherboard in the future that has a pci-e x16 slot, but the slot only runs at x4 bandwidth.I will be using a 8800GT, so my question is will the x4 bandwidth have any detrimental performance hit when playing HD videos using VDPAU (H.264 codec)?

-Ubuntu 10.04 with MPlayer/Smplayer & VLC installed via the repos. -Installed the Ubuntu Restricted Extras package (everything except flash, extra fonts, & java) & w32codec packgae (medibuntu). -Computer in question is 800mhz Celeron, 256MB RAM & one of those basic Intel Integrated Graphics Chip. I'm having problems playing some video files. When trying to play these files with Smplayer, I get a blue screen but can still hear audio (default video output). After switching the video output to x11(slow), I can now see the picture but it's not playable (some video will show maybe one frame every 2 seconds, some video would play for half-a-second then just freeze). This happens mainly with large files (not 100% accurate, but in general files over 300MB).
Mplayer log gives the "Your system is too slow to play this file" & "Bad alloc:insufficient resources" messages. So I'm guessing this is not a codec problem, but a system resources problem? Is there any option, trick, tweaks, etc. I can use to play these problematic files or is it just not possible because of my system specifications? Is there a way I could tell mplayer to play these files with lower bitrates & resolution? Maybe this could reduce the resources needed to play?

I am running debian linux wheezy, and recently, all of a sudden, all videos in my iceweasel browser have been refusing to play videos of any kind at full volume. I am, however, able to download the video and play it at full volume on vlc player or sytem video player.Why iceweasel is acting this way?

I've a old desktop computer with the following specs cat /proc/cpuinfo
Code:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 1
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz
stepping : 2

I have been able to start 720p videos but with considerable AV drift. When i forward the video the drift temporarily disappears and video starts drifting again. The problem is that the video is always slower than the audio. Framedropping removes the A-V lag but makes the video unwatchable.

I have some trouble in playing mkv files (both 720p and 400p) on Ubuntu. I had no problem whatsoever playing the same files when I still had Windows, so I'm assuming this is not an hardware problem. I have an HP Pavillion laptop, an nVidia graphic card with proprietary drivers for Ubuntu, dual core AMD processor, and Ubuntu 10.04 64bit installed. Many other applications are actually way faster, now, than with Windows, as that was just a 32bit version. Nevertheless, I have problems. Totem is usually slow, and generates lags between video and audio. I used MPlayer (with Gnome GUI), and it was ok with some files, but with some others (can't find any particular logic, maybe it's due to different encoding methods) it will just start, not show anything, NOT CLOSE, and enter in some kind of stall. The CPU overheats and I'm forced to reboot to stop it.
(It's not due to folders too crowded with mkv files... I've tried to take the files out of their folders, they still give trouble). Finally, VLC kinda works, but still won't allow me to jump in between the file. With some files it just doesn't jump. With a file I acquired recently, it jumps to exactly HALF of the time I actually asked for the jump (Like, I ask to jump at 42 min., it jumps at 21 min.). Chapter selection won't work either.

I'm trying to change the output resolution of a HTPC that's connected to a 720p plasma from (an auto set) 1024x768 to 1280x720 so that the output is the correct 16:9 ratio for the plasma.The HTPC is running Ubuntu 11.04 with a GeForce 7600GT and is connected via VGA cable to the plasma. The plasma automatically detects the PC input as XGA.
The worst effect of this is 16:9 media (video clips etc) looks really stretched out with the letterbox bars on the top and bottom and icons in general don't look square.Nvidia driver has been activated via Additional Drivers but the message reads;
Quote:
The driver is active but not in use"
Any ideas what that means? Should I be looking for a way to disable whatever the Ubuntu driver is so the proprietry one is in use?Under nVidia Xserver settings I don't have an option for a 1280x720 resolution, the next closest resolution for 16:9 is 1360x768 but then portions of the output are no longer visible on the plasma.Could it be as simple as using the DVI output (not the VGA) from the graphics card to the plasma to get a correct reading of the input. Still, I wouldn't have a setting for 1280x720

I'm trying to browse ..... and yahoo video, unfortunatly neither of my browsers will play the videos. Both Firefox and Epiphany have the same problem, I know it must be one of the handlers causing this. I also have trouble displaying Chip-In widgets and the Yahoo!7 site doesn't work properly. I don't want to have to boot into Windoze again.

System: Debian 8 - Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 280X Free Driver
With Iceweasel, when I watch HTML5 Youtube videos, I only have the quality 720p as the highest.
In the same machine, Windows 8.1, I can watch in 1080p in Internet Explorer.
I guess that it's not a problem of Iceweasel but about how Youtube serves the videos to my system. Is that correct?

Ran into something weird. I was trying to watch a .mkv file in 720p format last night in VLC. Now, for about 10 minutes everything is fine and then the sound just stops. Video play is fine, but audio just cuts out. These hasn't happened with anything else other than this .mkv file. Would the fact I'm running gnome 3 using the open source drivers on my ati 5850 have anything to do with this? Or maybe something else? Anyone run into an issue like this?
