More generally, I suspect that AVI files have somehow become associated to Nautilus (or your file manager) rather than Totem. -- Jim On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 9:50 PM, Eric L <[email protected]> wrote: Are you on Fedora? My recommendation is to install gnome-mplayer: sudo yum install gnome-mplayer Then, with your file browser, find one of your videos, right click and choose properties, click on the "Open with" tab, then click on Gnome Mplayer, then click on "Set as default" After that you should be able to play your videos from shotwell. Also, you might want to install gstreamer-ffmpeg: sudo yum install gstreamer-ffmpeg This will put thumbnails on your shotwell videos. -Eric > Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:58:53 -0600 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Shotwell] movieplayer? > > Any ideas on my post of a couple of days ago re: not being able to play > videos by Shotwell opening Totem movie player? > _______________________________________________ > Shotwell mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
