I can not play videos or other media
|
|
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you can not play video or audio through openlp, there are several areas that
|
|
|
|
could be an issue. First thing is to make sure you can play the media file
|
|
|
|
through your default media player. OpenLP should be able to play any file that
|
|
|
|
you can play through your default media player.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you can play a file through your media player but not on OpenLP it may help
|
|
|
|
to enable Phonon for multimedia playback. Go to the OpenLP configuration
|
|
|
|
:menuselection:`Settings --> Configure OpenLP...` and select the Media tab.
|
|
|
|
Make sure the check box for `Use Phonon for video playback` is checked.

Codecs
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may need to install codecs for certain files to play. Most newer versions
|
|
|
|
of Windows and OS X will support most media types. Most Linux distributions
|
|
|
|
will require a little more help to get certain media types to play.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Windows
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Later versions of Microsoft Windows (Vista, Windows 7) generally come with
|
|
|
|
everything you need to play most media formats. If for some reason you need
|
|
|
|
additional codecs we have seen success from the Combined Community Codec Pack
|
|
|
|
(CCCP): http://www.cccp-project.net/ You might also wish to check out the
|
|
|
|
K-Lite Codec Pack. If you are having issues, results do seem to vary with the
|
|
|
|
different options. What works for some may not for others, so some trial and
|
|
|
|
error may be required.

Mac
|
|
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using a Mac. You may wish to play Windows formats. flip4mac enables
|
|
|
|
you to use popular Windows formats such as .wmv on your Mac. You can get it
|
|
|
|
here http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm

Ubuntu Linux (and variants)
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using Ubuntu Linux, or one of its variants (Kubuntu, Edubuntu, etc...)
|
|
|
|
it is a fairly quick and easy process to get all the codecs you need to make
|
|
|
|
things work. You will need to install two meta-packages that contain all the
|
|
|
|
multimedia codecs that you will generally need. From the Software Center install
|
|
|
|
ubuntu-restricted-extras and Kubuntu-restricted-extras, or from the terminal::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
user@linux:~ $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras kubuntu-restricted-extras
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note** if you are running Kubuntu there is no need to install the
|
|
|
|
ubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more information on Ubuntu and multimedia issues please check out

|
|
|
Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following command provides the most complete solution for codecs on Arch
|
|
|
|
Linux::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
root@linux:~ # pacman -S gstreamer0.10-{base,good,bad,ugly}-plugins gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you need more help with Arch Linux and multimedia please see the Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
documentation at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Codecs

Debian Linux

|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^

You will need to add the Debian Multimedia Repository. So add the folowing to
|
|
|
|
/etc/apt/sources.list::
|
2011-03-28 21:54:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-29 23:13:30 +00:00
|
|
|
Then update the repository info::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
root@linux:~ # apt-get update
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-28 21:54:49 +00:00
|
|
|
Then install the following packages::
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-29 23:13:30 +00:00
|
|
|
root@linux:~ # apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-lame gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-x264

Fedora Linux
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You will need to set up Fedora to play most media formats. This is relatively
|
|
|
|
simple using the rpmfusion repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note** the following commands will enable a third party repository to your
|
|
|
|
system. Please check out http://rpmfusion.org for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable both the free and nonfree components for any Fedora official release
|
|
|
|
enter the following commands::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After enabling the rpmfusion repository you will want to refresh your package
|
|
|
|
list, perform any updates and search for gstreamer-good, bad, and ugly and
|
|
|
|
install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is a good tutorial video on the rpmfusion repository
|
|
|
|

The Media Manager appears to be missing some features
|
|
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you do not see all the features listed in the Media Manager, you may need
|
|
|
|
to enable them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable the plugins navigate to :menuselection:`Settings --> Plugins` or
|
|
|
|
press `F7`. You will want to click on the plugin to the left that you want to
|
|
|
|
enable and select **active** from the drop down box to the right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/plugins.png
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default all plugins should be enabled during the first run wizard except the
|
|
|
|
remotes plugin, unless you specify differently.

I can not see the book, chapter, and verse when I display scripture
|
|
|
|
===================================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The book, chapter, and verse should be displayed when you display scripture. If
|
|
|
|
you can not see this your theme probably has the text size too small for the
|
|
|
|
info to be seen. See the section of the manual on themes if you need more info
|
|
|
|
on text sizes in themes.
