[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI: how to play webm video (e.g which player to use?)

[Predrag Zecevic [Unix Systems Administrator]]

Hi,

i am faced with problem of playing webm video on OI (currently /hipster-2014.1)

I CAN do it with firefox (it plays, but it hiccups - not really smooth playback is possible, either from file or from http)


I have tried 'totem' and got :

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|VP8 decoder|decoder-video/x-vp8 (VP8 decoder)
** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper script missing)

mplayer2 form /sfe doesn't work, mplayer1 from /sfe could play it, but I am not sure, because I had to remove it because wanted to 
use VLC from http://sfe.opencsw.org/localhostoi151a8/

Anything else I could try?

Regards.
