Need a plugin to watch Screencast video

Add the medibuntu repo then install gnome-mplayer. Make sure it pulls in w32codecs (or w64codecs if your OS is 64bit)

Thanks for the response. Gnome-mplayer has already been installed, but I don't know how to add the medibuntu repo. I did'nt see anything like this in the software center. (If i'm looking in the right place) Sorry, I'm just a Newbie.

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update; sudo apt-get install w32codecs

Should do it

Thanks again for you your help.
I pasted the above in terminal and entered it. Tried playing the Screencast, but it still says I need the plugin package. I even tried restarting my laptop, but still no video (I do have sound in the screencast). Hope I'm following your instructions correctly. Thanks

Yeah its simple copy / paste stuff

This may help:

sudo apt-get -y install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse ubuntu-restricted-extras

Pasted above commands in terminal. Able to see some Screencasts, but some are still bringing up "looking for the plugin package video/x-asf-unknown decoder. Able to hear these but not see them. Also tried looking through website above, but I just got lost trying to figure out the answers there.

If you have any more suggestions, I sure would appreciate them.

Thanks again for all your help so far

Able to see most Screencast videos now, but have a couple with sound and no video yet.
