Hi!
I have a number of video files downloading and after previously downloading a file telling me it was one thing I got another which was porn, luckily my two young girls did not open the file.
Anyway I went to preferences - directories and Video player which was empty, so I did a brows hidden folders and found Kaffeine which is the video player I use. I open the file but the only files in that folder are
Bookmarks.xml
Bookmarks.xml.tbcache
config
mozila-stamp
How can I select a video player with the link to the exe to so I can select to preview?
I hope this makes sence?
-
Does anyone know how I can sort this. :D
-
Hello ;( i've still not sorted the prevew problem out, can anyone help me :O :O ?( :baby:
-
bograt,
Sorry, I did not understand what you want. Do you want to configure the previewer application?
If kaffeine is in the path, just type "kaffeine" on the Preferences->Directories->Video Player.
If kaffeine is not on the path, you must find where it is, it is usually in /usr/bin/kaffeine, so if you installed correctly it should be in the path.
With the right button, you can click on a file name in the Transfers tab and if the first chunk of the file has already been downloaded, you will be able to preview it. Otherwise, the preview will be disabled.
If that does not answer your question, forgive me and please rephrase it, english is not my native language. :(
Cheers!

Hi phoenix
Yes thats what I wanted.
I have done a search and have found this
opt/kde3/bin/
opt/kde3/share/apps/
opt/kde3/share/doc/htm.l
Is it the first one (bin) i must enter???? :)
-
bograt,
Well, maybe /opt/kde3/bin/kaffeine
Don't forget the first "/"
Cheers!
-
Thanks mate I will try that.
:) :) :)
-
I am still unable to preview films downloading, does anyone have any ideas how I can sort this?
What other video players I can download which I can use to preview downloading video files????? ;)
-
bograt,
You can try mplayer or xine. But kaffeine does work. Did you understand that you can only preview the file if the first chunk has been downloaded?
You can test what you will enter at the command line. Run:
$ /opt/kde3/bin/kaffeine &
If this does not load kaffeine, then spare yourself the time to try it in aMule. First make it work with a command line, then paste that command line in aMule preferences.
Cheers!
-
Ok buddy :)
I tried the comand line but it didnt load it
Tried downloading Mplayer and Xine but having to iron out some small glitches.
Yes I understood what you said about previewing.
Thanks for sticking with me on this I will keep you up to date on how I get on.
I am very new to Linux and still have little knowledge of comand lines etc so any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much. :baby: :baby: :baby:

Still no luck :(
I Can't find an Mplayer RPM (still trying to learn how to compile from source and also still no good with installing tar & Gzips)
I have noticed that the files I was entering are read only and not exe files how do I find the exe path?
I don't know if that makes sence if not I will try to explain better.

Do you use Fedora Core 3?
You should install apt and synaptic. They are package managers that work like a front end to rpm, but makes finding rpms much easier. Get them here:
http://freshrpms.net/apt/
Read the instructions, and try it. Btw, you can get a mplayer rpm there too.
Cheers!

No mate i'm using Suse 9.1
I tried installing Mplayer and I needed the dependancies but when I restarted the system I got an error message and cant load the OS system
If you are a member of linuxquestions.org the error message is posted in the software help section.
So i'm now tryng to get my system running again :( :( :( :( :(
If you can help then that would be nice.
If not i'll be in touch when I get my system running again.
Thanks

Hi phoenix
I have downloaded and installed the ocr8 rpm but when I ran the command amule to run the program the program would not run? I have downloaded the tar file and extracted it to a file on my desktop but I have problems installing tar files.
I know I have to do it in root but I have problems with inputting the commands and getting tar to run can you help guid me through the install?????
Thanks buddy
-
I can help you for sure. Please read this link first:
http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Compilation_Installation
Get aMule tarball, e.g.:
$ wget http://www.hirnriss.net/files/cvs/aMule-cvs-20050224.tar.bz2
Open aMule tarball in a directory, configure and make.
Then, and only then, as root do make install:
$ tar zxvf aMule-cvs-20050219.tar.bz2
$ cd amule-cvs
$ ./configure --enable-debug --disable-optimize --enable-cas (and any other options you might want)
$ make
$ su
$ make install
That should be enough.
And never run aMule as a root user, always as a normal user.
Tell me what happened.
In case of trouble, read this to learn how to post usefull backtraces:

Help my version of suse 9.1 is i386
-
Man, I can't beleive, you don't have the compiler installed! I did not know that a linux distro would come with it uninstalled...
I can't help you a lot with suse, but I use FC3, which is rpm based too. You have to install g++, binutils, and probably some libraries. Try to look at your distro docs to see which packages you have to install to be able to compile stuff.
Cheers!
-
Hi buddy
Hope your OK?
I don't have any documents for my distro as I was passed the CD by a friend
I am running Suse 9.1 with kernel i386 I can update the kernel but when I do there appears to be a bug in it which makes the cd's open continually and I don't have the expertise to pull the OS apart to find which program is sending the eject command.
What I will do is look for g++, binutils for Suse 9.1 i386 RPM and try that. I will get back to you when i've sorted something.
-
I have installed glibc & glibc-devil will these work?
Noooooooooooo ;(
I will try another compiler.
-

To be able to preview a video file you have to already have downloaded the first chunk of it because there are important header information at the beginning of the file on which codecs to use to show it etc...
For that reason the 'preview' item is grayed out if the first chunk of the file has not been downloaded yet.

Ok thats all I needed to know at least I know there isn't a problem..
