i have amarok,kaffeine ,totem installed.how do i make the installed apps to play various video formats.
i tried this
Code:
cd /tmp
(not this coz i had the codecs) wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2
(not this coz i had the codecs) tar -jxvf all-20071007.tar.bz2
su -c 'mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/codecs'
su -c 'cp all-20071007/* /usr/local/lib/codecs'
rm -rf /tmp/all-20071007*
this step is to allow other applications to get the necessary codecs:
Code:
su -c 'ln -sf /usr/local/lib/codecs /usr/lib/codecs && ln -sf /usr/local/lib/codecs /usr/local/lib/win32 && ln -sf /usr/local/lib/codecs /usr/lib/win32'
but it didnt work.none of the above mentioned apps were able to play the videos.the totem player says and said this before i commited the above mentioned steps "Video codec 'DivX 5' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies"
Initially it used to mention the name of the plugins.after the execution of above code it gives me this:
A problem occur while loading a library or a decoder: drvc.so
A problem occur while loading a library or a decoder: cook.so
Video codec '0x0' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies.
