Unable to play wmv video file in debian 7 wheezy 64bit

imcool · 12-16-2013, 05:32 AM

hello,

I am having problem playing playing WMV extension file in my DEbian 7 wheezzy 64 bit, I tried running and instaling mplayer,vlc,smplayer,xine and totem too but all they are doing is playing Audio only and no video is appearing, I tried google and solutions at several websites but none seems to work.
I tried installing codecs too.

Following are details about what I did so far to make it work:-

I dont want to convert files because I have many of them.

Hi

in vlc, you need to choose your audio format....you should use either alsa or pulseaudio

stay away from oss

2) your movie link I can play in vlc here is screenshot as proof

3) one of you image links showed a movie format called mss

can you link to it so I can test it pls

vlc used on debian sid

4) what the heck are you doing installing all those .dll files
this is linux not windows
linux does not use dll files unless you install wine

I hope you are not trying to run wine and windows vlc?

ok in the meantime did a google search for sample mss2 video format and it gave me a hit for
http://www.findthatfile.com/search-4...tware2-wmv.htm

click on download but click on direct link gives a format extn .wmv and I can play it.

PS I am on 32 bit system

found this link that may work once you get vlc sorted

A) ensure you have alsa loaded and delete oss
b) click in vlc and preferences click audio choose alsa

retest

if fails maybe

It is wmv file only I do not know what it is showing MSS. I downloaded codecs from synaptic manager not dlls. I am not trying to run wine and windows vlc.

Hi

your first link shows output to /usr/lib/codecs

pls post the results to

Code:

dpkg -l | grep codec

I have 32 bit but show mine.....I bet you tried something like w32codecs which is related to mplayer smplayer but not needed by vlc 32 bit

this screenshot shows that you have libavcodec-extra installed, but not libavcodec. relevant?

ok separate posts for separate issues

here are the dependencies of vlc 32 bit, note the version numbers for you will differ but you may wish to try vlc 64 bit

suggest you try-----after adding testing to your apt sources list

Code:

su
apt-get update
apt-get install libavcodec54 libavcodec-extra-54 libavutil52

notes from http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libavcodec54 for testing repo or sid for all hits below
amd64 should be 6:9.10-1
http://packages.debian.org/search?su...codec-extra-54
amd64 should be 6:9.10-1
http://packages.debian.org/search?su...ds=libavutil52
amd64 6:9.10-1

since you appear to have stable (I have sid) pls consider enable testing ?

finally before you consider adding a new repo I suggest you get a live cd or usb with
fsarchiver on it,

sysrescd is probably the easiest to do
http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage

I use fsarchiver all the time to take images and restore them,
I can not recommend it more highly than for you.....trust me

so take an image first
then consider apt pinning

https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences

I am on debian sid so don't need it or want it, but people on stable trying to get some newer packages may like to consider it

YMMV

is it from 64bit operating system ?

aus9 · 12-17-2013, 12:30 AM

No sorry

replies 3,5,9 detail 32 bit or show i386 (=32 bit)

reply 3 provides a link that some 64 bit users found useful

but I am hoping you might just install the testing packages that might allow 64 bit vlc work with more codecs

your choice of course

sorry have no experience there
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

suggests when you update (upgrade) you may get heaps and heaps of packages for both archs.....not good if you have bandwith issues

2) have you dismissed my previous suggestions in the links?
