How-to install codecs for xine and mplayer video players
I have Knoppix 5.2 and was hoping to play some *.FLV (flash video files) I've downloaded and pulled from youtube & other sources.
The versions of MPLAYER & XINE will play the video but won't play the audio on these files. It was the same with knoppix 5.1.1 I was hoping the 5.2 version I just torrented (completely unannounced on http://www.distrowatch.com defaulted in the German keyboard style
(it took me awhile to discover that "(" key for the U.S. keyboard is '=' key when its rigged for Germans.) knoppix lang=us
would have the codecs pre-installed.
BUT SINCE they DON'T run the audio on these videos. Lucky for me found an interesting video:
How-to install codecs for xine and mplayer video players
http://youtube.com/watch?v=FOeBcWQDOKk&feature=related
It's all about people who have an ubuntu installation. But that's not what I want to do. I want to install the codecs for my knoppix persistent image file.
It reads;
1. goto http://www.mplayerhq.hu and go to download link
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
MPlayer v1.0rc2 source ?
2. save essential-LATESTVERSION.tar.bz2
download save essential-20071007.tar.bz2
(Linux x86 20071007 is my system by an educated guess)
3 Install bzip2
actually it seems I can extract with the Ark program. I don't get the point of the video where it shows him downloading the torrent file. He should show himself downloading and extracting
the bzip2 file with ark or something.
http://www.bzip.org/downloads.html
So now I have a folder I named "Winter"
/media/hdd1/home/ubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter/
I'm going to open a shell for
/media/hdd1/home/ubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter/
With the KDE GUI desktop. Rightclick on the folder Actions--->Open Terminal here Shelling it and typing "ls"
reveals these files
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/hdd1/home/ubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter$ ls
bzip2-1.0.4 essential-20071007.tar.bz2
bzip2-1.0.4.tar.gz
and so I'm ready to install bzip2
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/hdd1/home/ubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter/$ apt-cache show bzip2
And get similiar information text on my shell:
by typing
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/hdd1/home/ubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter/$sudo aptitude install bzip2

NOW I'm cooking with gas;
All that was easy
[b]4. untar to /usr/local/lib/codecs
knoppix@Knoppix:/UNIONFS/usr/local/lib$ sudo mkdir codecs
knoppix@Knoppix:/UNIONFS/usr/local/lib$ ls
GNUstep codecs knoppix.jpg python2.1 python2.4 xemacs
R eclipse ocaml python2.3 site_ruby yorick
Anyways the video shows how to extract essential-20071007.tar.bz2 with a keyboard interface but I've already done this with the program ark as a graphical interface user:
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/hdd1/home/ubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter$ ls
bzip2-1.0.4 bzip2-1.0.4.tar.gz essential-20071007 essential-20071007.tar.bz2 essential-20071007.tar.bz2.torrent
Moving right along with the video instructions
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/hdd1/home/kubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter/es
sential-20071007$ls

aslcodec_dshow.dll msms001.vwp vp7vfw.dll xanlib.dll
How do I add files to these folders knoppix@Knoppix:/UNIONFS/usr/local/lib/codecs$? Is it even possible? Do I need to do this/
/hdd1/home/ubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter/essential-20071007$ sudo mv *.* /usr/local/lib/codecs
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/hdd1/home/kubuntu1/Desktop/MYDOKUMENTS/SOFTWARE/Winter/essential-20071007$
Let's see if the frickin audio works.
IT DOESN'T.
