why dont you try VLC ?
i think that it plays almost everything....!!

Its in reps..

system > administration > synpatic
search for vlc .... ! and install

Thanks

VLC is playing everything but real media files. I think I am having some problem internally with the codecs linkage. So far it's beyond me.

MPlayer plays real files... its available in the repos...

Yes, this is why it is so troublesome. for some reason mplyer won't play the r-m files either. I'm hoping someone can help me rebuild the connections between the codecs and the players.

Thanks

what codes did you install?
Did you install the w64codec package?


wget -c http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w64 codecs/w64codecs_20071007-0medibuntu1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i w64codecs_20071007-0medibuntu1_amd64.deb

you can also install realplayer..

I have the realplayer installed and it plays the real player files but I had it working in totem on ibex 32bit. I just can't figure out what I have done wrong this time.

Thank you

The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do.

The codecs is in. But totem seems not to be reading it.

I can't figure it out.

Thank you

I added unsuported intrepid repository and ran an update and now RMVB files are playing in MPlayer. Yippee. But still not in Totem. I can live with this. But if anyone has a similar problem and figures out how to get RMVB files working in Totem please let me know.
