I believe this could be interesting to a number of people on the list, not just me.

Hello out there! Been around the block trying to get DVD support for Totem, but I keep running into dead ends everywhere I go. Looking for CentOS 5.1-compatible xine and xine-lib packages as that seems to be the answer, but the only ones I find (like on DAG) seem to be just dead links or I get a message that the mirrors are unavailable when I try to run the rpm. Can anyone provide a link

The latest CentOS 5 kernel, 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 broke my box and I had to drop back to 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 before I could play DVDs with either Xine or mplayer. ( xine-0.99.5-1.el5.rf & mplayer-1.0-0.36.rc1try2.el5.rf ). This is no big deal to me -- as long as I can make certain that the older kernel doesn't go away. If I understand the installonly plugin correctly, an entry of tokeep=4 in

Has anyone managed to configure totem to playback DVDs etc? Currently I have installed xine for doing these.

When running totem to play a move (e.g. mpeg-1 file), it fails with the message: "A MPEG-1 System Stream demuxer plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed." After reading docs and trying various things I've reduced the source of the problem to the package gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.11-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm # rpm --rebuilddb # rpm -q libdvdread libdvdread-4.1.3-1.el5 #

With Theora having reached a bitstream-frozen status, and a beta1 release imminent, what are people's thoughts on the Fedora site about video applications in the desktop release ? This is the first time a royalty-free video codec is in a releasable and supportable state. Also, the GStreamer+totem stack should be a shippable solution supporting Theora very soon now. I'd love for it to be

Hi everyone! :-) I just installed CentOS 6 on one of my desktop machines, and yum now tells me that some of my favorite apps are not present in any of the repositories I configured. To name a few: ktorrent, kile, krusader, pavucontrol, mplayerplug-in (or is it now gecko-mediaplayer), xine, xmms, and so on... All these apps were readily available for C5, and I used them happily. I am mostly

After a bunch of cumbersome testing I was able to transcode a Quicktime MOV file to OGG with theora and Vorbis. The method's a bit fumbly, but it works... It is automatable except for the initial audio decoding. Software used: Xine, oggenc, ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora, oggzmerge Step 1: Get the video out of Quicktime ffmpeg -i infile.mov -b 5000 -f mpeg2video outfile.mpg Step 2: Get the video

CentOS-5.1 Is there anything special one must do to get the Totem shipped with CentOS-5 to display .mov files? When I try to view a file I get an error box with the message: Totem could not play 'file:///tmp/073_complex_forms_part_1.mov'. Could not decode stream." # rpm -qi totem Name : totem Relocations: (not relocatable) Version :

Hi all, I am unable, using ffmpeg2theora 0.26, to encode this mpeg file in theora without audio/video sync problems : http://dl.rom1v.com/noindex/test.mpg The file works correctly using vlc or mplayer, but totem has sync problems for playing it. For information, it is a TV stream I recorded using : vlc

Just tried to play a movie/DVD and Totem (what automatically popped up when I inserted the DVD) said it needed plug-ins... it didn't say which plug-ins. The website listed in the help page no longer exists. I have four of the gstreamer packages and libdvdcss installed, but I guess there's something more needed. Anyone know? tia for the tips. -- War is a failure of the imagination.

Hey All, Totem has stopped playing .wmv files recently. I don't know exactly when this happened, but I know I've played .wmv files not too very long ago. I've got 372 .wmv files all of which I've played at one time. When I try to launch any one of the .wmv files from file manager totem pops up but the controls are not functional. If I start totem from a terminal there is no

Hi all! On 7.1 + CR updates, running "yum list installed | grep -y totem" gives this: yum list installed | grep -y totem totem.x86_64 1:3.14.3-5.el7 @cr totem-nautilus.x86_64 1:3.14.3-5.el7 @cr totem-pl-parser.x86_64 3.10.5-1.el7 @cr and "yum list installed |

Hi, Since a number of people are eager to try out the native VP3 decoder in xine, I have made a patch available, bz2-compressed: http://www.pcisys.net/~melanson/codecs/xine-vp3-decoder-patch.bz2 To work with this patch: 1) Get the latest xine-lib from CVS. Visit this page for more details: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=9655 The module name is xine-lib, but you will also need

Greetings, I was on IRC about 7 hours ago and suggested that the FAQ be updated slightly. Rather than sit on my ass and complain I figured I'd ask a few people, and see if the idea was worth the time. Here's what Ive started with: http://www.dimension.net.nz/theora.html I'll be adding to it over the next 24 hours - mostly in the area of Playback and Encoding. Just threw it together

This is a new instalation of CentOS 5.2 When I go to FireFox and try to watch a Video clip, some files transfer, and then I get the message "General Error" in the video window. I ASSUME some additional software needs to be downloaded, but what from where? When running on that Other OS, a message comes up giving you an opertunity to do the download. --

Not that many people are streaming FLAC, and if they are, they are, in my mind, undoubtedly experiencing problems. Probably the most prized kind of software problem of all, the intermittent kind. I am streaming FLAC. 24bit no less, and its fantastic. The future I would like to live in, is one where lossless music is streamed and heard by people other than myself. It is generally not possible to

hello i tried swfdec a year ago and didn't find it suitable. this is why i now first tried gnash. however, it wants alot of uncommon dependencies and dumped alot of error messages. this is why i tried taking a second look at swfdec. im surprised to find that all of my most favourite games work. only that i have to click on the somewhat blurry "play" image is quite boring. however,
