Vlc / totem
Hi Folks,
I have Fedora 18 64 bit installed. I cannot get Totem or VLC player to work. I have installed the appropriate codecs. When i try to launch a dvd, the player disappears. I tried launching from the command line and got these errors: Code:
(totem:6355): Grilo-WARNING **: [registry] grl-registry.c:330: Failed to initialize plugin: '/usr/lib64/grilo-0.2/libgrlflickr.so' Code:
VLC media player 2.0.5 Twoflower (revision 2.0.5-0-g1661b7d) I did a search for 'gst-liba'v but could not find a single package. However, i did find a package gstreamer 1.0 libav-based-plu-ins which was already installed. I assume that this is the correct package. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but with no luck. On a separate note, even though I have totem set as the default player for DVDs , it does not auto load on DVD inserion. I set totem as the default in SYSTEM SETTINGS / DETAILS. Is there anything else i need to do. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. |
did you fallow the mjmwired guide ?
at the top of every FedoraForum.org page is the bold yellow link to the "Set up guides" http://www.fedoraforum.org/?view=fedora_setup the very first is for Mjmwired http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f18.html http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...a-f18.html#vlc personally i would not use "totem" but use the QT based front end to mplayer " SMplayer" |
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I went to the post installation guide that you suggested and found a lot of useful information. Thanks for the links. I have already installed video codecs following another source. When I followed the info in the links you provided, I generated this error message. Does this mean that I alreadt have a functional set of codecs, LIBDVDCSS installed or do I need to uninstall mine and install the new ones? If this is the case, how do i do this? This is the output: Code:
[root@localhost Downloads]# yum --enablerepo=atrpms install libdvdcss2 Tim |
uninstall the fedora 17 rpm you installed on fedora 18
I am betting there are a few other fedora 17 packages you installed on fedora 18 ( some are normal and are part of 18 -- they did not change , so there was no reason to repackage them ) -- this will output a list of fedora 17 programs installed on fedora 18 Code:
su - Code:

Thanks. The libdvdcss from fc17 was removed and the fc18 version installed no problems. However, DVDs are still not playing and errors in Totem are still being reported. other players are not working either.
Here are the fc17 packages installed. I'm coming from a previous Ubuntu install, where this was maybe less of an issue. Code:
[root@localhost tim]# rpm -qa | grep fc17 |
totem is really not the best player for store bought dvd's
vlc is it supports the menus on the dvd for totem you need the "good, bad, and ugly" GStreamer plugins -- fedora docs --- http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...ie_Player.html from the gnome totem page http://projects.gnome.org/totem/#codecs search yum for gstreamer and you will find them but unless you really WANT totem i would use vlc and smplayer i normally remove totem from every install as one of the first things i do -- but that is just my opinion |
When I installed Fedora 17 my videos wouldn't play either--
A friend of mine at Ubuntu told me you need: Code:
rpmfusion http://rpmfusion.org/ Also I realized that I didn't have flash installed- |
Hi John,
Just a quick update. I think you must have been right about me having installed a lot of incorrect packages. I did a reinstall of Fedora 18 and followed the post install guide that you suggested. Everything works perfectly. Thanks again for the advice. Tim |
