iam magesh, recently i to linux ubuntu...
iam using 8.04 hardy, and iam not able to play any video though i have
install all the codecs and needed players....
[1] What format of video?
[2] Which players?
[3] What codecs got installed?
Try running the player from command line with the file path as the
argument, like 'totem /home/magesh/videos/thevideo.avi'
When you try to play a video file which need codecs, Ubuntu asks whether
it can install codec if the corresponding format has one and if given
yes for the installation, it installs the codec and plays the file.
Sometimes it may need to close the player and open it again.
i had asked question IRC but no one gave a solution
Which channel? #ubuntu? Try #ubuntu-in from next time, which is the
channel of the Indian team.
when i play a video once i see only a green colour screen on the player
sometimes audio also(but only green screen)
when i play the video again without closing that green colour player
screen.... the video is seen clear....
Again which file format and which player? Can you please try doing the
above said "run command from terminal" procedure and show us whatever
comes on the screen (Please paste the output from the terminal on to a
pastebin like pastebin.com and give the link for the page to us)?
