totem doesn't play youtube videos

Asked by Nitin

i am using kubuntu 9.04 and I installed totem-xine. but when i click on youtube videos, it says the specified file not found. but when i browse youtube in firefox, the same video plays, but there is no sound. i can't listen to sound when i try to listen music files on the webpage. I can hear sound and play music and video files from hard disk though. i've already downloaded kubuntu-restricted-extras, and vlc media player also.

Please help.

Hi :)

Please work through each step in this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
i tend to have non-free (proprietary) components, it hasn't cost me anything yet. Using copy&[paste should make this quite quick and makes sure you have covered all the multimedia basics.

The next step is to use Synaptic to look for "flash player"

While "gnash" and "swfdec-gnome" they both seem to clash with the adobe one. I would recommend the adobe one on it's own for now.

If you are still having troubles with the sound then hopefully soemthing early in one of these 2 guides might help
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

I thought you might also find this guide helpful for looking up odd things occasionally

Good luck and regards from
