Hi, the idea of automatic codec installation is very good... But at the moment it's not (yet) working perfectly:
I had to boot Feisty yesterday (from the Live CD) to ensure that a bug in Edgy is fixed in Feisty. As I already had booted Feisty, I decided to check the easy codec installation. I therefore doubleclicked a MPEG-1 video file. Totem started and then the 'Add/Remove' app popped up and said that the mpeg codec is provided by the following packages: gstreamer-plugins-extra (or ugly or bad, I can't remember) and gstreamer-ffmpeg-plugin. I decided to install ffmpeg. The installation went fine, but when it finished and Totem reappeared, an error message popped up containing something like 'demuxer needed for playback of MPEG-1' or something like that... So I think the ffmpeg-plugin didn't provide everything that was needed for the playback of the given video... How do you determine which package is required for a media file? Do you just check the extension? cheers, Severin -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
