psychoaliendog Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html Quote
armadaender Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Plays just abotu everything: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Quote
Jester Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 yep running VLC right now its great. :) 8) Quote
Brayn Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 you can never go wrong with mplayer, plays nearly everything and dosnt rape your system. if you want a more gui based player, totem-xine is always a good choice. vlc is also good. i have all 3 installed on my ubuntu system(all avalible with apt-get with the right repos), i just keep switching between them.

Chalito Posted October 8, 2006 Author Posted October 8, 2006 also, since i'm a n00b with linux is there a plug-in for firefox that will let me view Media player content in the web browser, cause not being able to watch some things in the browser can get annyoing. Quote
PoyBoy Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 MPLAYER and XINE have worked fine for me. VLC is the bet though Quote
take it take Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 also, since i'm a n00b with linux is there a plug-in for firefox that will let me view Media player content in the web browser, cause not being able to watch some things in the browser can get annyoing. mplayer-plugin. It's better to get it from your Linux distro's repository. Otherwise: http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/ Quote
ChevronX Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 VLC for both Windows and Linux and MAC OSX Environments Quote
Chalito Posted October 8, 2006 Author Posted October 8, 2006 any idea what the command would be for ubuntu, cause i run sudo apt-get install mplayerplug-in and i get an error that says that there is no installation candidate. But it does there is something there. Any thoughts? Quote
Jester Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 sudo apt-get mozilla-mplayer or if you use vlc sudo apt-get mozilla-plugin-vlc Quote
Chalito Posted October 9, 2006 Author Posted October 9, 2006 It looks like it should work, but I get an invalid operation. You sure that thats the right command? Neither one worked, nevermind i noticed that there is no "install" after the apt-get. i got it working thanks alot. You guys are kool, i can always count on this forum for tech help. You guys are 1337 Quote
almostageek Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Xine is my favorite. Once you get the codecs in it you can play everything!! Quote

I was using it even on windows. It's really a powerfful player. Quote
