Nobutwhy Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I got Ubuntu 8.04 installed yesterday, and when I attempted to play an MP3, I get a message telling me that I need to download a codec. It's not possible for me to get the computer Ubuntu is installed on, connected to the internet. I've searched for some time, but I can't find any downloads for GStreamer or Medibuntu that I can copy to a flash drive and install in Ubuntu, can anyone help me with this?

Nobutwhy Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 have a look here -- http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/gstreamer0.8-plugins I've spent the last few hours installing all the packages, now when I try to play an MP3, I'm told I still need to install the GStreamer Extra Plugins. The Ubuntu packages site doesn't seem to have these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind, I managed to get all the packages downloaded and installed, I just hunted down the gstreamer-ugly and gstreamer-ffmpeg packages with all the dependencies. Thanks anyway :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahid Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 This is not too hard to install codec. Just with a few minutes you can install all your codec & plugins. Just have a look here http://ubuntu-help.co.cc/index.php/ubuntu-...pport-on-ubuntu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran Posted November 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 19, 2008 It is easy to get all sorts of codecs on your Ubuntu. You can go here: Shift's recs for instructions. BUT, where you see the text 'gutsy', just change it to 'hardy' (as you are using Hardy Heron--if you are using Intrepid Ibex, use 'intrepid'). Ubuntu is, like so many Linux distros out there, massively easy to get going. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
