Neither the out of the box GNOME mplayer 0.9.6 or Vlc 1.0.6 play any of my video (avi) files. I get a blue screen in the video panel with the audio playing.
I downloaded (not via PPM or QuickPet) GNOME mplayer 0.9.9.2 Pet which the PPM says is the latest version available at the lucid repo. I don't see any provision for uninstalling the old version. I take a chance and install the new; no ill effects. But I still have the same problem even when I switch to IceWin which PPM says I should use with mplayer 0.9.9.2.

[Edit]
I grab Smplayer-0.6.8-Lucid.pet from the repo. Same problem. Seems the codec for playing an avi is missing. A link please.

Re: Playing .avi video files
Have you tried other avi's? It depends on which vlc, etc you are using, but I've almost never had issues with avi files.B.K. Johnson wrote:Neither the out of the box GNOME mplayer 0.9.6 or Vlc 1.0.6 play any of my video (avi) files. I get a blue screen in the video panel with the audio playing.

Try from command, assuming your avi file is named 'myavifile.avi':
Code: Select all
vlc --vout x11 /where/your/fileis/myavifile.avi
Frugal install Lucid Puppy 510.
I just played this avi video, live fullscreen in Firefox 3.6.8
http://www.linux-video.net/Samples/AVI/ ... gazine.avi
I then downloaded and saved and played it fullscreen in VLC and Gnome MPlayer.No problems.

yep, that's why he may have some x11 issues or something...I do full screen with vlc and gmplayer all the time.James C wrote:Frugal install Lucid Puppy 510.

Playing .avi video files
Your command gave me both audio and video, but there is an error in the screen output. Attached is a screen-shot of the output.
Clicking on the avi still does not work. Here is the output from the CLI commands:

mplayer Wall-E.avi >mplayer-output.txt
mplayer spartacus.avi >mplayer-output.txt
CL command: vlc Wall-E.avi >vlc-output.txt
Text file output: null file.
