divx/xivd with gstreamer

[OJO]

hi,

how can i play divx/xivid movies with gstreamer (in totem)? i've got two machines with fc6 and on the first one when i try to play movie in totem there is no picture, just sound, and on the second machine totem just freezes.

files are ok, becasue i can play them in mplayer/xine.

and no. i don't want to use totem-xine. i'm sure it can be done with gstreamer, because on gentoo and pld linux it worked just fine.

yum list *gstreamer*

gstreamer.i386
gstreamer-ffmpeg.i386
gstreamer-plugins-base.i386
gstreamer-plugins-good.i386
gstreamer-plugins-ugly.i386

Do the gstreamer plugins handle rmvb files?

#wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/freshrpm...1.fc6.i386.rpm
#rpm -ivh gstreamer-pitfdll-0.9.1.1-1.fc6.i386.rpm
#exit
$ wget http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/rel...061022.tar.bz2
$su
#mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs/
#mkdir /usr/lib/win32
#tar xvfj all-20061022.tar.bz2
#cp ./all-20061022/* /usr/local/lib/codecs/
#chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/codecs/*
#cp /usr/local/lib/codecs/* /usr/lib/win32/
#rm -rf ./all-20061022
#rm ./all-20061022.tar.bz2
#exit

i had it all already done because i could find it on all faqs. i've also got all that gstreamer-plugins installed. and as i said on some files totem says:
"You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins." and on the others it just hangs. btw. there is no problem with playing ogg or mpeg movies and even mp3. but still no luck with avis.

[nick.stumpos]

works fine over here
are you sure you did this step
#wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/freshrp...-1.fc6.i386.rpm
#rpm -ivh gstreamer-pitfdll-0.9.1.1-1.fc6.i386.rpm
as that is needed to allow gstreamer to use all the codecs

[OJO]

yes, i'm sure.

$ rpm -qa|grep pitfdll
gstreamer-pitfdll-0.9.1.1-1.fc6

[nick.stumpos]

what does
ls -l /usr/local/lib/codecs/ | grep divx
say

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/codecs/ | grep divx

i don't know if i understand you correctly. i won't be able to play divxs with gstreamer 0.10?

[kldixon]

I am not an expert in video formats but the other posts implied you would have to use a dll codec and pitfdll. The maintainer of pitfdll is busy with his degree course and has not updated pitfdll fully for gstreamer-0.10. I am not sure if there is support in the other plugins but you said you have them all installed. You could try looking through the gstreamer docs at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/doc...n/plugins.html to see if there is anything which might do what you want.

Edit: I just noticed that my previous post has "dmodec_wma9dmodv3: DMO wma9dmod decoder version 3". That support is not present. I have been playing with pitfdll because I could not display a particular stream for lack of support for it.

If you cannot play divx/xvid with any program why not try here:

No luck with gstreamer and divx. Try this:
yum remove totem
yum install totem-xine xine-lib-extras-nonfree libdvdplay libdvdnav libdvdread libdvdcss
