Greetings,
Could someone help me to find an answer to my problem regarding the MPlayer? I want to play an .avi file but I get the following error message: The playback of this movie requires a AC-3 (ATSC A/52) decoder plugin which is not installed. I installed alsa-tools, some packages of gstreamer are also installed(maybe I have to install one of those that are not installed), ffmpeg and liba52. I don't know what to do ... I want to watch the movie! Thank you in advance.

Re: MPlayer AC-3 decoder plugin
Does this return anything?
Code: Select all
ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep a52
Re: MPlayer AC-3 decoder plugin
ldd: /usr/bin/mplayer: No such file or directory
This is the output of the command above.
Maybe the problem will be solved reinstalling the MPlayer? or there is another method

Re: MPlayer AC-3 decoder plugin
I'll bet the OP has mplayer confused with Totem, the "Movie Player" as it appears on the menu. Gstreamer applications are about the only ones that complain about missing codecs--so install all the gstreamer0.10 plugin and other packages you can find, or just install vlc or smplayer and you won't have those problems.

Re: MPlayer AC-3 decoder plugin
Yeah, it is Totem. I have found out it later. My fault naming the problem . I have installed the VLC which works perfectly, however, I had to disable the screensaver in order to avoid the idle mode of the system. I am going to try to install all the packages which include gstreamer - I want to see Totem running!
Thank you for all replies.
I may say that the problem is solved.

Thank you for more detailed information, as I said, I have installed all the packages which have in their name the keyword "gstreamer" and surely everything started to work. However, I like the VLC - it has a feature of boosting the sound up to 200 % - and it is remarkable - I use 160 % - 170 % as a higher value destroy the quality and this fact is noticeable. Totem also has the option of boosting audio with 8 % but it is not the same effect as it is in VLC.
Glad to use Debian.
