Totem : Can't play a text file without video.

jonaskellens · 05-07-2010, 10:12 AM

I'm getting the message "Can't play a text file without video." when trying to play an avi-file in Totem movie player.

Code:

Package totem-2.28.5-1.fc12.i686 already installed and latest version

Problem with movie-codec ? How do I know which one I need ??

go to rpmfusion.org if you are missing restricted codecs.
The easy way out is to install all available codecs

The rpmfusion repo is installed. What am I searching for ??

Code:

[Jonas@jonas ~]$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
fedora-rawhide.repo          livna.repo                   rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo  rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo
fedora.repo                  rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo  rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo
fedora-updates.repo          rpmfusion-free.repo          rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo  rpmfusion-free-updates.repo  rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo

Install relevant packages with yumex or the other package manager.

Kaffeine can download some codecs automatically

ffmpeg, avi-utils, aviplayer, avidemux ...

It may be a totem problem. Try with kaffeine or mplayer or vlc
