LinuxQuestions.org - totem? plugins?

- Linux - Desktop (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/)

- - totem? plugins? (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/totem-plugins-533866/)

Sometimes I try to play videos on the internet, but it comes up with a message that totem could not play it and that I may need to install missing plugins. What am I missing?

Miss anything??

Code:

[shrikant@shricore64 ~]$ yum list installed | grep gstreamer

xinetd.x86_64                            2:2.3.14-8            installed

um-this is what I got:

kevan@kevanr:~$ yum list installed | grep gsteamer
bash: yum: command not found
kevan@kevanr:~$

LoL sorry, what distro you on? If Ubuntu, i think its 'apt-cache policy gstreamer'.

If I'm wrong, someone please correct me and help him.

kevan@kevanr:~$ apt-cache policy gstreamer
W: Unable to locate package gstreamer
kevan@kevanr:~$

Does this mean I need to install something?

Just get this and follow instructions.

man-that is taking a long time to load...Oh, and I can't play my DVDs either-the same error comes up.

The main web page loads, but nothing linked to it does, I can't download it...

Easy ubuntu is c***

If you have dapper do this at terminal (will install codecs):

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-gl gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse w32codecs

For dvds as well:
sudo apt-get install libdvdread3

sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper # If you have AMD64. You need dpkg-source. Otherwise skip.

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh

sudo apt-get install totem-xine

Thy should work with edgy as well. BTW it installs evrything, dvds,wmv,wma,mp3,ogg etc ...

well, the totem error didnt come up again, but this did:

The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?
