This is re: Part 1. I have left out certain packages from the command provided, like those for Flash and Java, because they are installed and working correctly -- well, almost. I can watch YouTube videos within my browser, but not .flv files that I downloaded from the web. But the bigger issue here is, I cannot play mp3 files. Initially, I though the normal method would work... open file and let it ask permission to search for plugin, etc... I did that and gstreamer-bad (or was it ugly?) was installed, yet the file wouldn't play (even after reboot). It still says that an MP3 decoder is required! So I uninstalled the plugin and went with the command provided at the beginning of the thread. Still, mp3 does not play. And similarly for the flv files.
Code:
navneeth@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla && sudo apt-get install alsa-oss faac faad gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-pitfdll libmp3lame0
