Playine wmv files in Totem player
how do i play wmv files in Totem? Is there a codec for it? Where can i get it and where is the codec directory for it?
|
okay i got codecs and know where to put them but when i try to paste them in the folder it says access denied, what do i have to do?
|
You probably need to be root to put them there. I don't know anything about totem, but I do recommend http://www.mplayerhq.hu as a wicked, play anything-on-the-goddam-plannet movie player. And it plays oggs/mp3s/wavs. And displays .gifs, .pngs. And so on.
But yeah, I digress, you will probably need to be root to copy the files to the directory you want to put them in. |

First,download the codec from Mplayer Homepage. Secondly,extract the tarball using "tar -xvjf " command. Now you get a directory contain almost all of the codec files. Then, find your personal totem addon directory .For my system, the totem addon directory is ~/.gnome2/totem-addons move the codec files to this directory using "mv" command. Remenber: move the codec FILES ,not the DIRECTORY contain them. In fact ,you can also see where Totem set to find the codec file in this file: ~/.gnome2/totem_config ,in which you would find such sentences: # path to RealPlayer codecs # string, default: decoder.external.real_codecs_path:/home/schlin/.gnome2/totem-addons # path to Win32 codecs # string, default: /usr/lib/win32 decoder.external.win32_codecs_path:/home/schlin/.gnome2/totem-addons after doing all of these ,I suppose you totem can play almost all kind of audio and video file. |
you would do better to put them in a place where any media program will find them. Once you have downloaded the codecs, switch over to root and:
Code:
#cp <extracted codec DIR>/* /usr/lib/win32 Sorry if these directions seem kind of "well duh" to some people but I saw a couple first posters here. regards, ...drkstr |
