Totem and Rhythmbox doesn't play certian files.

Post by shisohikari »

Hello everybody I just installed Linux Mint 9 today and I having problems with Totem and Rhythmbox, it states that it cannot play "this" file and ask to search for the codex. I do so and it fine nothing. For example totem does not play my flv or avi and it did when I just mess with it on the live CD. Maybe I did something wrong so if anybody can help help me it would I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

If it plays on the live CD you might try to click on the file and click open with ie Rhythmbox if the codacs is not installed you can install from the Synaptic Package Manager- Search on this Forum for how-to. :)
