webm

Hi all. I googled and searched here in forum a lot but can't find sollution. My question is: how can I watch webm video? It doesn't work at all with midori and tazweb, but works very bad with with vlc when I play downloaded webm file. It just play just few seconds and then pic freeze, but player progress bar goes ahead. So, may I ask for easy step-by-step instruction for webm support for slitaz? I already isntalled some gstreamer plugins, but it doesn't help. Thanx

Re: webm

Hello,

Here (512 Mo RAM, Pentium IV under Slitaz RC5), i use with success Seamonkey, name of Firefox maintained by Mozilla which is lighter, on this site for example :

- http://www.webmfiles.org/demo-files

then on the same site i read that too : http://www.webmfiles.org/how-to-play-webm-files

"How to Play WebM Files in Linux

You need to patch ffmpeg with these patches.

UPDATE: The new release FFmpeg 0.6 now supports WebM/VP8.

Just update your FFmpeg or dowload it here.

The newest Version of the popular VLC Player 1.1 is also available for various Linux Distributions. Find your Player for WebM-Files in Linux here"

You can check for ffmpeg by this way :

root@slitaz:~$ tazpkg search ffmpeg

Hi Escapetiger

Thank you for reply.

Seamonkey actually do it's job very good, plays webm nice and smooth. But my main browser Iron - fork of Chromium - don't. Also I tried to run webm files with Gnome Mplayer - works fine. But VLC - not.

Looks like I have to switch  to Seamonkey and Mplayer completely.
