and I must say I am very pleased with it. One of the most obvious omissions from this release is the ability to play divx, avi, mp3 and mp4 files. I did some googling and managed to figure out how to do it but the process is rather long and involved so I decided to combine it all into a script so you can install or your codecs with one line at the terminal. |
| One of the few bits of hardware fully supported by Meego. |
Since the release of Meego 1.1 there have been some changes so there are now 2 different scripts.
*Note: because of all the compiling the script does it can take over an hour to run so I strongly advise connecting to AC power before running it.
For Meego 1.0
Download the script from here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6217043/divx1-0
Now open a terminal and type:
chmod a+x ./divx1-0
sudo ./divx1-0
For Meego 1.1
Download the script from here:
Now open a terminal and type:
chmod a+x ./divx1-1
sudo ./divx1-1*Note: you must first cd to the directory where you downloaded the file. ie. if it is in "Downloads" type "cd Downloads" first.
Now reboot(it wouldn't work for me until after a reboot)
This script is based on information found at:
Now you can enjoy your MP3's and AVI's on Meego.
You can also check out the thread about this on the Meego forums at:
I'm trying it now, but one thing your directions don't say is to execute the file? If I follow directions above and allow executing file as program, open terminal, and type sudo ./divx.sh I receive the file not found error?
ReplyDeleteD
what do you get when you type "ls" at the terminal? My guess is that you are in a different directory to where you downloaded the file. If you are using chrome it's probably in "Downloads" just cd to there before running the script. Where did you save the file when you downloaded it? that's the directory you need to be in when you try to run the file.
ReplyDeleteI had to rename the file first, because it was divx.download. Then do not forget this: You need to then give the script execute permissions by right clicking the file then Properties->Permissions and then check the "allow executing file as program".
ReplyDeleteAnd then everything works... Hopefully, it is running atm...
I have problems with this :S... terminal tells me in some part that blablabla I need GLib 2.18 to compile blablabla... I have GLib 2.4, and don't works... So I don't understand the problem u.u...
ReplyDeleteFinally,I can open mp3 files, but avi, mp4 and divx are dead :S...
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeletethanks for the script. but its not working on my eeepc 1005ha with meego 1.0.1. the script starts, exectutes wget, and checks the compilers...
Fowloing error appears:
configure: No package 'gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10' found
configure: error: no gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.22 (GStreamer Base Plug-ins Library) found
can you help me?
Man... you are an angel for half the world!!!
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI've found success with this script on an Eeepc 1000he running Meego 2.1.
I had to rename the original downloaded file to divx.sh
The first time I ran the script I received the error for no package for gstreamer plugins. I see other people got this as well. I rebooted the computer and tried again and everything worked perfect. Perhaps try rebooting if things aren't working for you.
I have no problem with .avi and mp3.
Thanks James for the great script!
My day has just been made. thx for the srcipt, works flawlessly on acer aspire one with meego 1.01. cheers.
ReplyDeleteim tryng now and work perfectli
ReplyDeletegreat thanks i did it and it worked perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIs it safe to remove the directory that the script left?
For those whom are having troubles installing this, please check if you are using Meego 1.0 or 1.1.
ReplyDeleteIf you're using Meego 1.1, you have to do little changes because in this version the install command is zypper instead of yum, and this version needs to install wget.
so:
sudo zypper install wget
then after the instalation of wget, you open divx.sh with the text editor and change "yum" to "zypper", than back to terminal and run
sudo ./divx.sh
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am running the script on MeeGo 1.0 ( on VirtualBox). I am having the below errors during the compilation of ffmpeg:

Any idea what is going wrong here?
I'm very lame at computers but i like meego system and would like to use it, but without music and movies it sucks. Could you make a video tutorial with step by step instruction like talking to a 3 year baby please ?

@Rahul Kumar sorry i don't want to be harsh but i have to ask because i see questions like this all the time on blog posts.
ReplyDelete1. Are you seriously asking me to explain installing windows to you? Ever hear of google? There must be a million sites with instructions on that.
2. Also why are you asking the question in such an inappropriate place, this is a Linux blog why would you be asking here about installing windows?
3. Are you unable to search for and find things yourself? it seems weird to just go to random blogs and ask people for help about totally unrelated topics. Does this ever work?
Sorry if it sounds harsh but i would genuinely like to know what prompts people to do this kind of thing.
