I have x264, and ffmpeg installed.Why can I only hear a mpeg4 video when I play i t with SMPlayer?The video is just black.
SMPlayer is a free open source media player, with built-in codecs, that can play virtually all video and audio formats. It doesn't need any external codecs. SMPlayer can also play, search and download Youtube™ videos. It uses the award-winning MPlayer as playback engine which is capable of playing almost all known video and audio formats.
Doesn't matter the player.. tried SMPlayer and VLC. After opening numerous video files, the players only play audio. Video will play in Chromium and Firefox, just not in video players. I'd watch a bunch of trailers I downloaded, and after say 10 or so, just get audio. I must say I'm vexed. I'd even need a solution, just an idea of what is the issue.
SMPlayer is a complete media player for Windows and Linux. It uses the award-winning MPlayer as playback engine which is capable of playing most video and audio formats (avi, mkv, wmv, mp4, mpeg... etc). It uses its own codecs, so you don't need to install any codec packs.

I bought a h264 security camera system last year and set it up to ftp video to my computer. I was able to get the video to play (even though it played a little fast) on Ubuntu 11.04 using mplayer.
A few months ago, I did a fresh install of 12.04 and I cannot seem to get the video to play with mplayer, smplayer or VLC.
Hello,
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and have a problem with the audio and video (if it exists) "skipping". It generally involves playing the same 2 sec clip 3 times quickly. It affects nearly everything :
mp3 players (Banshee, Rhythmbox)
Video - SMPlayer, vlc
Web-based audio - Grooveshark, Pandora
Web-based video - youtube, any flash-based video
It seems to be due to cpu utilization.
SMPlayer, a complete media player for Linux that is based on MPlayer as the playback engine and that uses its own codecs, is now at version 0.8.4.
SMPlayer 0.8.2 may not be a major release, but the developers have brought back the YouTube functionality.
Highlights of SMPlayer 0.8.4:
• A new option has been added and users can now select the FPS for external subtitles;
• The video equa
Has anyone noticed that totem in the new F18 cannot find the video decoder (even though they are installed) and just plays the audio? I tried playing files encoded with xvid, h264, and RV4 and totem says it needs to find the plugins. Ultimately it cannot find one and plays with just the audio.
I've installed all the codecs from gstreamer and gst123 plays both video and audio fine.
