previewing
« on: February 21, 2005, 03:07:03 PM »
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?

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!

bograt,

Well, maybe /opt/kde3/bin/kaffeine

Don't forget the first "/"

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.

bograt,

Maybe something temporary, it is working here. Try it later.
