|

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
|
||||
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/
|
||||
|
||||
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 to /etc/apt/sources.list::
|
||||
|
||||
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free
|
||||
|
||||
Then install the following packages::
|
||||
|
||||
root@linux:~ # apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-dbg 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.
