3 days ago, I wiped my Windows OS from my laptop and switched to Ubuntu for the first time ever. I love it so far and there's no going back! But my understanding of Linux is still very basic, and I don't know how to solve this problem with streaming videos. The ONLY place I can watch videos on the browser is on YouTube for some reason. I googled for solutions, but the only thing I found was to install some codecs (not sure what those are yet) with
Code:
sudo apt install libavcodec-extra
and when I do that, it brings up some Microsoft agreement that I can't move forward with because nothing lets me proceed with the modal! Any advice here??
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.1 and here's all I do to get DVDs to play.
Open the terminal and copy and paste this command then press enter and if needed enter your password.
Code:
sudo apt install libdvd-pkg
When that is finished then copy and paste this command into the terminal and press enter.
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg
When finished close everything and restart your computer.
