Problem to read file on Linux

Posted by Barbier at 2010-01-17 22:52

Hello, I have installed Elan on ubuntu 9.10 without any problem. But, when i open a media file, i always have this message: No player could be created for: - file:///home/... i have this message for wmv, mpeg,, mp3 avi,... In "preference" "Plateforme/OS" there is no entry for Linux, and logicaly no possible media framework choice. PS: I have a very bad english expression. Sorry for that

Currently, for Linux we have only one option for media handling, which is JMF (Java Media Framework). It is installed with the ELAN distribution and the installer tries to setup the environment. JMF requires a variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" to be set. If this fails, no media file can be handled, whatever its type.

You could try running ELAN from the command line using a startup script in /bin and try to get it working by editing this script.
Others have reported similar problems and you might search for a clue in previous posts?

I believe (an older version of) fobs4jmf is included in the ELAN distribution. Was this message "Fobs4JMF - Native shared library NOT found" already there before you manually installed Fobs4JMF? And, by the way, did you install the ELAN version with or without JRE?

the message was already here before the manual instalation of Fobs4JMF. And i have install the version with JRE (but before, i was already an installation of java)

Is there a Fobs related file in the "jmf__Vlin2.1.1fcs" folder, something like "libfobs4jmf.so"? And does it help if you copy/paste this file to jre/bin?
