One inaccurate way to see what codecs Totem/GStreamer thinks are available is enter about:plugins in Browse. As http://wiki.laptop.org/go/GStreamer#Adding_codecs says, Release 8.2.0 uses an old backported version of GStreamer, so most web guides to installing additional codec support will not work A few months ago the wiki was full of approaches to adding codecs from livna and fusion and whatever that *don't work* on release 8.2.0. If you see such and it doesn't work, flag it, e.g. ": These steps don't work with release [[8.2.0]] -- " I see http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8982 around comment 27 has a possible workaround for adding MP3 support to GStreamer/Totem/Browse. If you try it, use the Talk:GStreamer page for your experience. (not enough hours in a weekend! ...) -- =S Page ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Video Playback
Hi there 1) Any idea on the Mplayer activity development? I cant get it to work as an activity, although i can make it happen through the console, which isnt the best idea, since it's meant for the kids to watch some videos on it. 2) What codecs can i install on the built in totem? how can i install them, ive tried several things through terminal but there's no related package over there, or is there?
