Cant seem to play any files under Ubuntu 9.04

[Lswift84]

Hey Guys,

I'm having some problems w/ PMS and Ubuntu. I just set up a dual boot with XP and UB, and prior to running PMS on UB I installed mplayer according to this post.

Everything seems to be ok because I can play the files in UB just fine using mplayer and movies I have watched before with windows&PMS now wont work. MKV files say they are corrupted and regular AVI's that the PS3 should support natively say they are not supported.

Any ideas?

I must have not set up something correctly, but I cant tell what it was.

The PS3 says the file is corrupt. Everything still works fine in XP.

Apparently, you don't have mencoder and ffmpeg installed - install mplayer and all dependencies and you should be fine.

lternatively go to Synaptic and ensure that the following are installed: mplayer, vlc, FFMPEG, and mencoder. Install all and everything should be funky

EDIT: I should add that I set this up yesterday under Kubuntu 9.04 and had problems playing back divx files until I installed FFMPEG. I would also advise downloading the static version of tsmuxer from the Smartlabs website and placing it into the tsmuxer folder(under the pms folder) as I noticed I had a load of errors in the Trace Log until I replaced it.
