daniewicz Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Well, the search function does not appear to be working. I am having trouble playing .mov files in Kaffeine. The video is OK but the sound is choppy. If I try vlc, the sound is good but I have no video Sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Dan, are you sure it isn't that hangover? :D What versions of those media players are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I think I am starting to feel better.... :D Mandriva 2008.1 KDE 3.5.9 kaffeine 0.8.6 vlc 0.9.3 The wife has a new kodak camera, and videos made are stored on the camera as mov files. I installed win32-codecs and I now have widows codecs in /usr/lib/win32. Kaffeine has been configured to look in this folder. BTW, what is wrong with Search?

Greg2 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I don't have a 2008.1 system to check this anymore. However I use the same test video files on all installs to set things up and I know that both of those players worked on 2008.1 with mov files. Are you using the kaffeine-engine-xine? Are you using the vlc and vlc-plugins from the plf repo? If you don't already have it installed, could you install mencoder and post the output of midentify file-name.mov with file-name being one of your .mov files? I'm not sure yet what the 'search' problem is, but I've posted a note in the mod forum about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Batson Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I don't know if this will help or not, but this excellent guide solved some problems I was having with videos re: pulseaudio, flash, and wmv, on F11.

daniewicz Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well I installed mplayer and it plays the .mov files fine. I still would prefer to use kaffeine if possible, so if anyone out there has any suggestions I am still interested. Man those skins for mplayer are UGLY. I don't believe I have ever seen anything so hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 You could be missing some of the xine plugins that kaffeine uses, can you post output from: rpm -qa | grep -i libxine primarily some packages called libxine1 should be installed, but there might be other libxine1 packages available. In Ubuntu they have libxine1-all-plugins, but I don't know if it exists in Mandriva or not, but you can also check by doing: urpmf --name libxine to find what packages can be installed. If no results from the first command, then check and install this package(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Your mov files are different from mine. It's the audio codec used, I have ID_AUDIO_CODEC=pcm and you have ID_AUDIO_CODEC=ulaw Could you attach a small mov file from your camera here, or somewhere I could d/l it?

Greg2 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I've received the file and tested it on my Kaffeine 0.8.7. The sound is terrible. I would suggest that you install (if you haven't already) ffmpeg from the plf repos and ffmpeg2theora from the official repos. Then convert the files to ogv format for your Kaffeine media player. Do ffmpeg2theora 101_0382.mov and try the 101_0382.ogv in your Kaffeine player. It works for me now. See man ffmpeg2theora for any adjustments you need.
