Solution to rmvb playback in Linux

For some subtle and strange reasons, I prefer to use KDE. The old saying is: KDE-Pro (PRO KDE ?), Or translated into KDE School. Haha, I did not expect that there is still such a "line head ".

Here, I am using rmvb for many videos. I am depressed that I have not been able to play rmvb smoothly for a long time. Today, another whimsy is coming. It turned out to be the decoders problem. Now that you have started writing, remember some playing tools and methods.

I initially thought of RealPlayer for playing rmvb. So I found http://www.real.com/linux/and found the latest RealPlayer for Linux 10 gold. Remember to use a binfile to directly run the installation, which is relatively simple. In this way, common RM and rmvb files are supported. However, there are often some problems on my machine, especially the setting options in the menu.ProgramLose the response, and then only force close or even kill the process. After the development, the video can no longer be played. I deleted the program because it cannot be opened. (I believe this should be a local problem, good luck !)

We still have to watch mplayer, but it is a pity that we didn't try it for a movie. Go to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/to find the information you provided, and of course there are a bunch of mplayer stuff. Wow, there are three types: Player, decoding library, and skin. I don't really like using this thing. You can try it again. Download the mplayer source code and select the OS type. The file is similar to mplayer v1.0rc1 source. decompress and perform./configure, make, and makeinstall. Depending on the machine status, I have compiled for about five minutes. Of course, it can be installed normally. If you need GUI support, remember to run:./configure -- enable-Gui during configuration. After these steps are completed, the next (more) important thing is to install decoders (adding S to demonstrate that there are many ). Decoders under is a compressed package. decompress the package and copy it to the/usr/local/lib/codecs/folder. We also recommend/usr/local/lib/Win32, because some old playback software may be used, of course, if the two folders do not exist, create one by yourself. Step 3 (optional) is to install a GUI skin. Download the package here, decompress the package, and copy it to/usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/or ~ /. Mplayer/skins. It is said that it can be automatically recognized and used. I have not tried it. I only completed the first two steps and then run: mplayer <moviefile>. If you have a GUI, you can run: gmplayer <moviefile>.

In the second step of using mplayer, these codecs are a bit exquisite. In general, I would like to download a package such as essential-20061022.tar.bz2 and decompress it. Unfortunately, there may be problems. The support for rmvb is not good and it may not be able to play the video (but some of my friends can use it, I did not go into the cause more carefully .). Because rmvbdepends on the rp9codecspackage, rp9codecs-20050115.tar.bz2 can be used. Of course, there are comprehensive and secure solutions to download the so-called codecs-all, including all the decoding libraries. Visit http://www.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/releases/codecs.

At the beginning, for some subtle and strange reasons, I prefer KDE. Of course, there are also some preferences for kaffeine. My "Caffeine" version is based on 0.8.2 of kde3.5.5. Its performance and stability are much higher than before. I personally think it is recommended. If you want to use this player to put a lot of things you want, the key lies in the location of the decoder library. If you have not configured the decoder path, you may encounter the cook. So problem when playing RM/rmvb. Well, in the settings of kaffeine> xine parameter settings> decoder column, select the decoders path you downloaded. It seems to be/usr/lib/codecs/by default. Oh, this is not consistent with what we saw earlier. I just didn't find this point, it took a long time to silence rmvb. Note that we have finalized the following:/usr/local/lib/codecs /. Save the settings and click OK.

I am not very interested in the errors such as cook. So. The problem has been solved. Prepare to watch a movie!
