Result: totem as well as dragon player as provided by the free +DVD are not able to play any kind of video, unless you install certain +plugins. Now the direct issue is, how both applications deal with +this. None of both is able to list all necessary plugins to play the +wanted video - it's always the dance "a plugin is missing!" - "Which +plugin?" then a forum helper tells you about one plugin, you install +it, restart totem and - Bang! - it kills you with another "A plugin is +missing!". Do that 3 times and maybe it works for this one video, +coming back with the next video format. Same with dragon player. + +It's an upstream issue all right, but why is it not possible to +include a function which lists ALL needed plugins, so you can install +all of them? Or even better, a meta-package for those who want it all, +which installs all available plugins for video play? I understand the +reasons why they can not be installed automatically, but it would be a +great step forward if all needed plugins can be installed in ONE step. + +Apart from that and not judging by look&feel, vlc really is the best +when it comes to playing media. + +-- +wobo +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="020136.html">[Mageia-dev] Problem with Totem packages? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="020139.html">[Mageia-dev] Problem with Totem packages? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#20138">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#20138">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#20138">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#20138">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
