Hi James
I’ve copied the procedure for installing VLC player on Linpus across from the old site to the new site.

Hope this helps.

@John
Thanks for your help John. There is a “Play” button visible on Totem but it doesn’t start anything. I’m going to download VLC some time over the weekend and see if this works where Totem won’t. I’ll let you know.

Cheers again

James

Hi James,

I’ve just been experimenting with itv player on eeebuntu, and I’m now getting much better results using VLC player then Mplayer.

Cheers

Hi James.

I’m currently experimenting with the eeebuntu OS on my AA1, but I’ve given it ago.
On my install the video doesn’t play automatically, but there is a play button which I have to press.
Do you have any media buttons visible on screen?

Cheers

Hello again, John, and many thanks for this excellent site.

I’ve successfully followed steps 1 – 5 and have the little TV icon installed in Firefox. I find the program or live TV I want to watch, click on the icon, the player comes up and then nothing happens. I’ve been into Firefox edit / preferences / content / manage and selected to open AXF and AXS files with Firefox and then with Totem’s Movie Player, but no good. Any ideas? (To be honest, my main reason for wanting this facility is so I can impress my wife by getting her Emmerdale when we’re abroad – this will work when we’re in another country will it?!)

Very many thanks

James
