Re: No Video from Movie Player
Check that you have the appropriate proprietary codecs installed, and VLC is a great universal everything player. Both can be found in the repos through Synaptic.jokersloose wrote:Hey all,

I did install VLC and when I try too play any of the video's I downloaded it flashes a picture for a split second and then goes black again.VLC is a great universal everything player
Thanks for the reply,

Re: No Video from Movie Player
Check synaptic, see if w32codecs, maybe gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, libdvdcss2 are installed. There may be others, but I think those should cover mostly any format. Also in VLC in synaptic make sure all the plugins under it are installed.jokersloose wrote:How do I do that?

Re: No Video from Movie Player
From what I can tell all the plug-ins are installed. I looked at the ones you posted and yep they are installed. I even tried a DVD and get the same thing. Audio no video. This DVD plays on my desktop with Mint, but for some reason it won't play on the laptop.
Thanks,
James

Re: No Video from Movie Player
Hmm I'm stumped. Are you running the laptop through an external monitor? You had the Toshiba lappy right? I'll try and do some searching later tonight/tomorrow as to what your problem is if you can't get a fix - but I got two final exams today - I'll be writing those for most of the day.
Cheers.

Re: No Video from Movie Player
Yep it's a Toshiba A105 laptop. Funny thing is everything works with my desktop and I can't see any thing diferent in the set up between the two machines. Thanks for the help
Best of luck on your test.

Re: No Video from Movie Player
I ran sudo gstreamer-properties and got a couple of errors in terminal. Not sure it matters but thought I would post them just in case it does.
(gstreamer-properties:16267): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Could not open network socket.
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'pulsesink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sdlvideosink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'pulsesrc'
Now I did look for the plugin's in SPM but didn't come up with anything.

Re: No Video from Movie Player
For movieplayer to work you need to set output to x11
You find it in preferences (right click the movie window)
