[kool_Kartikey]

I Have installed Kubuntu 11.10 on my PC

When I play videos in Dragon Player it plays only audio but not the video
same the case is with VLC media player
what can I do

[OneLine]

What kind of video(s) are you playing ?
What is the feedback from the player ?
The main difference between the Dragon and the VLC is that the Dragon is depending installed codecs. The VLC has build in codecs.
Have you installed the kubuntu-restricted-extras, ffmpeg or something else ?

With the VLC:

Start the VLC from the konsole:

vlc /path/to/the/video.type

Are there error messges ?


How the VLC is seeking the video ?
VLC > Tools > Media Information (Ctrl+I)

all video files are having the same problem
.mp4,.flv(in vlc),.avi

[kool_Kartikey]

it's like this
kartikey@kartikey-home:~$ vlc /path/to/the/video.type

and then the window

What i mean: Start the vlc from the konsole. Give the video clip name with the full path as an argument. If the name has space characters use the quotation marks around.




The media player, launched from the command line could show meaningful information of the problem. An example: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487588

I was succeeded in playing videos from vlc by doing the following steps:
open VLC player, goto Tools->Preferences->Video and select X11 for the display output and that prevents the crash
