--===============7113108942337918955== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0012_01CDC715.07478260" Content-Language: en-us ------=_NextPart_000_0012_01CDC715.07478260 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I would like to use gxine on a Lubuntu system primarily for viewing videos. I have installed it successfully from the repository, and without any further modification it allowed me to view asx files. Yet, I have not been able to view mov files. I followed the instructions shown here: http://www.xine-project.org/faq#quicktime. It states that the file I need to unpack is called "essential", although there are several files with that name. So, I interpreted it as these two: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20061022.tar.bz2 http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20071007.tar.bz2 After unpacking these two and moving the contents in accordance with the instruction, I then tried to view a downloaded mov-file. It failed with an error message. I am not sure whether these are old instructions and possibly no longer applicable, but I would like to get this working in one way or another. In addition to having gxine work properly with mov files, I then want to use it to view and record a video stream from a webcam on my local LAN. I do have the plugin for Firefox installed as well, but it did not appear clear to me how I can record the stream. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you. ------=_NextPart_000_0012_01CDC715.07478260 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 08.00.0681.000"> <TITLE>using gxine to view mov files</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <!-- Converted from text/rtf format --> <P DIR=3DLTR><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"></SPAN></P> <P DIR=3DLTR><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"><FONT FACE=3D"Calibri">I would like to = use gxine on</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"> <FONT = FACE=3D"Calibri">a</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"><FONT = FACE=3D"Calibri"> Lubuntu system</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"><FONT = FACE=3D"Calibri"> primarily</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"> <FONT = FACE=3D"Calibri">for viewing videos</FONT></SPAN><SPAN = LANG=3D"en-us"><FONT FACE=3D"Calibri">.
