Installing w32codecs and libdvdcss2

vinoman2 · 2009-05-28 13:26:33

I've tried to install w32codecs and libdvdcss2 but pacman says : Not found in sync db.

How do I install them?

bgc1954 · 2009-05-28 13:31:44

Try pacman -S codecs libdvdcss

How do I save volume settings in Xfce mixer, so when I reboot the sound stays on?

I just installed Exaile and when playing a radio stream there is no sound. How do I fix that?
I added: pacman -S gstreamer0.10-alsa
the wiki said it may help if no sound, but still no sound. How to correct this?

I've been there many times, but I don't see where it talks about Exaile. I can play video and sound with VLC, but I can't play radio streams with Exaile, where is that info in the beginners guide?

Think its an Exaile issue, not just a sound issue. What do you think?

Many applications print useful info in the terminal when something doesn't work. I would suggest starting Exaile from a terminal, and check the output when you try to play the radio stream mentioned above.

It's Arch wiki, not Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
