Hi Everyone,
I have tried to play a DVD and also a film on the
hard drive but alas no sound.
I have downloaded most of the video players and selected all sources
to include all the codecs but still no sound.
If I remember right, out teacher enabled the codecs via the terminal
and a "build all" routine but have forgotten how to do it.
Can anyone help please ?
Also I have used Amule to download some music and saved it to a folder
on the desktop. The music downloads and I clear the completed and then
cannot find the files. I downloaded Amorok and enabled all the folders
to search for music but it did not find any. I know it is there
because people are uploading from me. Is there a way I can find it and
also is it an issue with mp 3 codecs ?
Best wishes for the New year to All,
John
Hello John,
I would suggest you take a look at the Medibuntu repository for
additional dvd stuff not included in Ubuntu. There are instructions and
a package list at http://medibuntu.org/. Just add the repo as a new apt
source and reload Synaptic.
I think once you have the ffmpeg, libdvdcss and libdvdnav packages you
will be able to play dvd movie discs. The gstreamer-0.10* plugins and
the w32codecs package will cater for other filetypes such as .wmv.
Amarok uses the xine engine as opposed to the gstreamer engine used by
the Gnome media players, I think a search for 'xine' in Synaptic will
show you all the relevant packages.
On my machine aMule saves files to the /home/me/.aMule/Incoming
directory which is hidden by default. You can make a symlink to this on
your desktop by right-dragging the directory icon to your desktop.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tom
