totem package

Totem plugins needed

Asked by F Kent

When I try to play any mpeg or avi file I get "There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding plugins"

This is a new install of Ubuntu, where can I get these plugins?

Thx

Which version of Ubuntu do you use ? The latest stable release (5.10, codename Breezy Badger), or the development branch (beta verison), Dapper Drake ?

Try searching "gstreamer" in the package manager and install the plugins that you need.

There are some restricted formats, that won't work with the gstreamer package. Please take a look at:

Enjoy working with Ubuntu.

Michael,

Thanks, pasting

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg

Worked like a charm.
