Gnome 2.14 Release

ganlu · 2006-03-27 01:04:11

What can I install to play a xvid and dts encoded clip? Gstreamer0.10-a52dec doesn't work. And subtitle (srt format and gb2312 encoding/chinese simplified language)doesn't work either, the same name as movie, totem even refuse to work under such case.

Gullible Jones · 2006-03-27 02:14:21

gstreamer0.10-xvid

ganlu · 2006-03-27 11:27:29

Thanks, but problem is DTS sound track.

mouse256 · 2006-03-27 11:40:49

gstreamer0.10-dts ? :-)

ganlu · 2006-03-28 12:19:00

Thanks, I just found it in the testing repo. :-)

_Gandalf_ · 2006-03-28 12:34:34

Anyone made a benchmark on gst ??
When I play a movie using Totem ( totem-gst ), CPU is really near 100% all the time, CPU clock goes to 1600Mhz and fan at max speed... When i use totem-xine, CPU does not go above 20%, CPU clock stays around 600 Mhz, sometimes goes to 1Ghz but generally at 600 Mhz, fan at min speed...

Hmmm anyone else noticed this ???

muep · 2006-03-28 18:56:59

For me, gstreamer0.8 was always too slow to be used on my old 600 MHz rig. Xine has always worked fine, taking about 40-60% of my processing power.

Anyways, I can now watch xvid movies with gstreamer0.10 and it takes only a little bit more power to do

Maybe the plugin for your video format is in need of some fixing?

Gullible Jones · 2006-03-28 20:24:14

I haven't seen such performance issues; however, I have noticed that, if you play a sound file in Totem with any of the displays enabled, audio playback will skip ridiculously whenever the window is moved, stopping for about a second and then skipping ahead several seconds... Very, very annoying.

trapdoor · 2006-03-29 07:12:52

Obivously I don't see any reason why i should change my god old mplayer for totem or xine or something like that. Mplayer just plays EVERYTHING and it doesn't take so many recources.

Well I prefer totem-xine, it plays everything i want and most important, it's always one instance and it stays on top, same size and same place whatever i double click in my 100's clip collection, read more here :arrow: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=147946#147946

trapdoor · 2006-03-29 09:47:40

Does it play RealMedia and WMV?

_Gandalf_ · 2006-03-29 09:57:04

yep and yep, also i never really watch realmedia so i'm not sure how fast/good it is, but for all others it's great, and like i said , most important to me, is that the player (windows only) stay on top, same size, same place so i can put it in the right corner and watch video clips while browsing and helping ppl around so i won't get bored, mplayer give me headache in this, coz on every song, I have to close the current mplayer, open the second, resize it etc... see ?

pressh · 2006-03-29 10:02:57

@_Gandalf_ as you made me change to totem , is there any way to get a fullscreen if I use it in a browser?

trapdoor · 2006-03-29 10:09:14

I will give it a try

edit: As far as i got this other problem fixed, i described in the Workstation forum.... without getting root i'm not able to do anything

Now i'm gonna conflict with myself lol, i never used totem as firefox plugin, no particule reason i just never tried it, I use mplayer because that's how i learned the first time to do it with firefox i might try it though

but AFAIK pressing "F" will give u full screen

mouse256 · 2006-03-29 10:45:26

is there any way to make totem play the HD (h264 encoded) trailers from apple.com?
I already installed gstreamer-0.10-bad, but I'm still missing codecs, and there is nog gstreamer-0.10-h264
my error:

** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-h264, codec_data=(buffer)014d4028ffe10014274d4028a9180ee042d803501010130ad7bdf01001000428ce09c8, width=(int)1904, height=(int)1056, framerate=(fraction)2997/125

pressh · 2006-03-29 10:54:21

pressing "F" does not work in a browser, at least, not here
Also there is no right click menu. So probably I should go back to mplayer

JGC · 2006-03-29 11:15:11

You need gtreamer0.10-ffmpeg, which is still in the gnome 2.13 repository. Direct link to the package:
ftp://schoolbak.dyndns.org/pub/archlinu … pkg.tar.gz

A new release for gst-ffmpeg 0.10.x is planned very soon, together with some new ugly and bad plugins as far as I know.

mouse256 · 2006-03-29 11:29:12

Thanks, now it plays (and way faster than xine), but I have no sound :-(
I had sound errors untill I installed gstreamer0.10-faad. Now no more errors, but still no sound

Yea I actually prefer mplayer for embended movies in websites, coz at least mplayer does not need we adjust contrast also it does a very good job when seeing full screen, but for desktop use i prefer Totem, not that i hate mplayer actualy DVDs goes with mplayer coz it's better but short clips or normal avi files :arrow: totem

Gullible Jones · 2006-03-29 21:10:37

Now if only we could get totem-plugin in Testing...

trapdoor · 2006-03-29 21:14:16

I tested Totem this afternoon and i have to say it totally rocks! You are able to play any media, and it's fast like hell...

Mplayer will definetely go to the trash can

Juet not subtitles。I always have trouble with subtitles.

_Gandalf_ · 2006-03-30 00:25:37

@trapdoor told ya

@ganlu, make sure the subtitles are exactly the same name except for the extension, i never had trouble with subtitles..

Gullible Jones · 2006-03-30 02:41:26

Totem-plugin is now in testing, woot!
