Unable to play .RAM file on Movie Player

Hi folks,

Debian 5.0
Totem Movie Player 2.22.2

Please advise how to play .ram file. TIA

Have you tried installing the w32codecs package? I believe that it has support for Real Media, if not maybe one of the gstreamer plugins? The ugly / bad ones

Failing that you could install RealPlayer for Linux http://www.real.com/linux I would have a look in your repo's before installing directly.

I have w32codecs installed. But still totem can't play .ram file.

I would consider it later should I fail making Kaffeine to work.

Installed Kaffeine and download essential-20071007.tar.bz2. However I found /usr/lib/win32 already existing and having files in it.

$ ls /usr/lib/win32/

Therefore I didn't decompress essential-20071007.tar.bz2 inside it.

Now sometimes I can play .ram file on Kaffeine and another time I can't. Similarly I can start Kaffeine and another time I can't. Restart PC is required. Would the problem be caused by without decompressing essential-20071007.tar.bz2 on /usr/lib/win32 ?

Kaffeine
settings --> xine engine --> parameters --> decoder and type /usr/lib/win32

already set.

Any advice? TIA

Hi deathadder,


If Kaffeine works .RAM file will be download on;

file:///tmp/kde-satimis/kaffeinewBP7bb.tmp

but repeatedly. I have to click stop after 1st download finished. Then Kaffeine starts to play.


If failure Kaffeine also starts with following warning;

Search for suitable codec?
The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable codecs to play media files. Do you want to search for a codec that supports the selected file?

The search will also include software which is not officially supported.
[Cancel]   [Search]

Pressing [Search] then searching starts and finally ends with following warning displayed;

There is no matching application available.
[Cancel]

clicking [Cancel] kaffeine also starts to play without picture only sound.


On Gnome desktop
Applications -> Sound & Video -> Kaffeine

Kaffeine starts.

If failure to start there is no warning displayed.

Hi deathadder,

GStreamer needs following packages to play .RAM file;
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
w32codecs

gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly already installed as default. After installing the other 2 packages Totem now can play .RAM files
