Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to
GREAT GREAT GREAT work!
Thank you very much.
Just a note: on my system, new install of Hardy 64 bit, my "pluginreg.dat" file was not directly inside the "firefox" folder, but inside another folder named "xzd1ghs3.default"
Here's what my successful code looked like:
Code:
rm $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/xzd1ghs3.default/pluginreg.dat
Being the near-noob that I am, it was probably something I did before...
Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to
You are the MAN! or WOMAN! I tried an upgrade and you got me rolling! When I got into the old gutzy vmware, it pretty much smoked the virtualization, backed up the vm's and all data and did a clean install.
Will let you know how the vm stuff goes. Superb tutorial for a desktop user.
Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to
Big thanx to reassuringlyoffensive for this how-to!
Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to
Following the instructions for Hardy users, I'm getting "E: Couldn't find package gstreamer0.10-pitfdll"
It's finding everything else except that package. Any suggestions?

Where abouts in the how to are you getting this error?
Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to
:) hey, reassuringly offensive, you are great. Didnt try all this stuff yet, just a quick scan for now but it looks as though you deal fully several of the problems I have e.g. how to get bbc real audio and video streaming to work on hardy ubuntu using opera, after I had finally got it to work well on kubuntu gutsy and then decided to migrate to lts. Thanks for all your care and systematic instruction. So glad I found this thread which I saved. I'll add more feedback as we go. Keith

In Ubuntu you mean? Use my instructions in Part 4 regarding VLC, but change it to "kaffeine.desktop" instead.

Are you a 64-Bit user? They haven't packaged those codecs for you yet, sorry.

I should have done that before, it's been edited now. :)
I also included the package "libflashsupport", it's in the so-called "Essential" section, but just wanted to make sure it's installed when users are troubleshooting Flash.
