Streaming Audio/Video

Skip-DMP · 09-11-2006, 03:11 PM

Is there a plugin/program for linux which will let me listen/watch streaming audio/video over the internet? Specifically, it needs to support the Windows Media Player format.

if you want to watch WMP format streams/files you'll need the w32codecs package.
add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file

Code:

deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ dapper non-free

then run

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install w32codecs mplayer

you can use mplayer to open (pretty much) any stream or file.
