Yep, I was connected at the time and it did ask me for my sudo password. I entered it but then nothing happened. I tried a few times and restarted but no luck.

I have tried this but the packages don't load. The error message "Package check failed. Trying anyway" appears then nothing seems to happen. Sorry.

Thanks for the replies and information. I'll hold off asking again- I'm sure skeezix will be knackered for quite a while after his childminding duties :D

Sorry for another noobish question, but... If I have a playlist and I want to automatically open it with vlc which file do I click on in the "open with" menu? I've tried a few but none seem to work. Many thanks.

Just had a chance to try this- Yay, the menus appear fine now! I'm having a couple of issues with playing the videos now though, is the video choppier for everyone using X11?

Update: bad and good results Using Sarlix's holding i method I can get it to "spaz out" but even clicking everything the drop downs are always hidden :( That said, I think that more instructions should include the term "spaz out" for the less technically aware of us to understand :)

When I watch videos using MPlayer the controls appear behind the video, and can't be clicked on. Pausing, restarting etc doesn't help. I played around with it for a while and got the controls to drop down visibly but then no video played! A restart brought it back to normal. Does anyone have...

The age of the Porndora? :P

SUCCESS! I can download youtube videos with downloadhelper then play them in VLC or Mplayer. It was a bit of a struggle but I got there in the end. Thanks again for all the advice!

Thanks for all the help guys- will try again later

Had the same problem as before: everything looks like it is working but when I restart Firefox there is nothing listed in Extensions :(

So, I deleted the vlc .pnd and appdata and replaced the .pnd with a newly downloaded version then overclocked to 800 before trying again. Sorry, no improvement. EDIT: The problems I had must have been down to my wifi connection. Now that I have Firefox and downloadhelper working I can save...

I tried Downloadhelper earlier but couldn't get it to install properly, maybe I did something wrong?

It's just so near and yet so far :( I get a static video with 480p videos, but nothing watchable.

In my excitement I forgot that VLC can't play the older 360p only videos :( Anyway, I have tried a few different videos now and haven't had any more success, still the same buffering and then sticking issue.

Hold on! I have been trying other videos and while copy-pasting the address always downloads the biggest available resolution video, when you try a video with a smaller max. resolution, 480p in this case, you get a frozen picture too. Pausing to allow the file to buffer just results in a broken...

It works fine for normal 634 x 352 avi files, I haven't tried anything bigger than that.

As I mentioned in the other thread in General talk I have tried this with a variety of media. Avi and mp3 stored on SD cards work fine (although crackly at the start?) but when I tried youtube no video and audio cuts out after 5 seconds or so. Is there anything I can try to get it working?

Just tried it, not good I'm afraid. No video and choppy sound that cuts out after loading a few seconds- I think 9 secs is the best I have had so far. Are there any codecs etc that I can add that would help?

Thanks for the reply ED, don't know where I got the idea that HAL would be working :unsure:
