Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to

I just followed the instructions for Hardy and now apple.com/trailers and CNET video STOPPEED working. They were fine before. I copy & pasted the instructions. Youtube, CNN video work fine. In the browser I see "cache fill" at the bottom and "File: /tmp/geckoeMXS76" where video would be. I do get sound.

I fixed this by right-clicking the video play window and setting XV in the properties.

Also java stopped working, which worked before. I sorta kinda fixed this by uninstalling openjdk-6-jre-headless and openjdk-6-jre-lib. Your guide did not say to remove these two. I say sorta kinda because some java applets work and some don't. http://javatester.org doesn't work but http://www.bodo.com/javame.htm does.

Reason: some things are fixed.

Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to

Thank you very much for this post. Everything works great. Especially like VLC much better than MoviePlayer. I have used it in the past with Windows, but didn't know all the tweaks to get it right in Ubuntu.
