Multimedia and Ubuntu (Middle)

If you are having problems with Video, Mp3, Youtube or Flash Wesite! :D Just smile because it is so easy to make it work with Ubuntu.

And I do remember saying that I will explain the apt-get code thing. Well here is my chance to do so because we are going to use it a lot!

apt-get is the same us aptitude, it is used to get something on net or something … well I will post links to Ubuntu books and Tutorial for you to learn the actual thing! Hmm Let start making it work first

Terminal Is Your Friend:

Open Terminal

First Let Install Java Runtime Enviroment

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin equivs ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho

Use Tab, to navigate on the blue Terminal :D

The code used is sudo apt-get install NAMEOFPACKAGE

Example

sudo apt-get install skype This will install skype since there is a package call skype in the sources.list I gave you on Setting Ubuntu 9.04 (Starting) article.

If you want to remove it:

sudo apt-get remove skype

Then Let start install VLC (Why, I will say mostly because of its codecs)

sudo apt-get install vlc

More Multimedia stuff

sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs libxine1-ffmpeg gxine mencoder mpeg2dec vorbis-tools id3v2 mpg321 mpg123 libflac++6 ffmpeg  toolame libmp4v2-0 totem-mozilla icedax tagtool easytag id3tool lame nautilus-script-audio-convert mozilla-helix-player helix-player libmad0 libjpeg-progs libmpcdec3 libquicktime1 flac faac faad sox toolame  ffmpeg2theora libmpeg2-4 uudeview flac libmpeg3-1 mpeg3-utils mpegdemux liba52-dev mplayer  If you are curious to know I can explain on your request what all packages are for. In short you need this packages to have most of your Multimedia running something and easy  the code above looks like this  sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME PACKAGENAME2 and on and on … :)  Enabling all DVD Playing  sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/./install-css.sh  Streaming Online  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux gstreamer0.10-gnonlin gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-sdl gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-schroedinger gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse totem-gstreamer  sudo apt-get install gstreamer-dbus-media-service gstreamer-tools ubuntu-restricted-extras  Flash playing (Youtube and flash website needs this)  sudo apt-get install gsfonts gsfonts-x11 flashplugin-nonfree
