No DIVX player for Ubuntu?
- Thread starter Tony321
- Start date
not sure if this MAC version will help you out (windows XP guy here),but it is free at least to try http://www.divx.com/en/win
For graphics, I use mint which is based on ubuntu but has added to the standard video capabilities.
had divx changed recently? Or are you saying you want it to play inside the browser?
All the divx I've ever had played with all of these:
vlc
mplayer
xine
totem
ffplayer
I almost never watch embedded video - much prefer to download & watch later.

Its too bad there is no version of Divx player for Ubuntu 9.10.
My favorite movie site uses Divx for streaming movies.
You sure ? I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and it handles almost all files I throw at it including Divx.Its too bad there is no version of Divx player for Ubuntu 9.10.

But my favorite site is ninjavideo.net, can't download without Divx player.
I never had problems playing Divx with Ubuntu. Must be something with the way that site handles things.
Now I see what you mean.But my favorite site is ninjavideo.net, can't download without Divx player.
I found the above solution to my problem but when I tried to copy/paste the files to the firefox plugin folder, it said permission denied.Re: Divx web player
i was having the same problem. make sure you have the mozilla-mplayer plugin installed from the repo. it includes two files needed for making mplayer play divx within firefox
Code:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt
for some reason my firefox doesn't seem to see these files until i move into the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins directory. i don't know why this is the case since i've always thought it searched through both directories (if someone could explain this to me).
once i move these files and restart firefox i can see divx in the aboutlugins page
(i can't play the videos on the link that was provided above, but i think that is because it is pointing to a broken link - can see the other videos on the divx.com page)
Where can I set/reset the permission?
Did you put that code in a terminal?I found the above solution to my problem but when I tried to copy/paste the files to the firefox plugin folder, it said permission denied.
