It is designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with podcasts and video blogs, allowing you to easily enjoy the audio, music, and video published around the web in RSS format. One user calls it "hands down the app of choice" for downloading video blogs. User Interface Until now, the only solutions for listening to podcasts on Linux have been clunky apps and unreliable bash scripts. Computing > Linux > Software narky Wed, 06 Sep 2006 00:46:29 GMT http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=273206&highlight=open+samba+files I'm trying to connect to my file-server (Samba share) and play some media-files on it through Totem and Rythmbox. I can open and browse the share just fine in Nautilus (through gnome-vfs), but when I try to play a file directly off the server, Totem/Rythmbox just complains that it "Could not read resource". If I copy the file locally and play it, everything's fine and dandy. Computing > Linux > Howto narky Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:17:45 GMT http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=226341 I have Ubuntu 6.06 installed on my Acer 1682WLMI laptop. My LAN includes a server machine running FC4, with several shares mounted with Samba. Yesterday, I upgraded the packages on the FC4 machine, and these included Samba, which is now at 3.0.23a. Unfortunately, this seems to have broken my mounted shares, which is annoying as I'd only just got them working a couple of days ago.

You have your music files on a remote computer, and you share these files via samba/windows file sharing. The shared files may be read only or writeable by you, and you have them mounted on your local filesystem. You can access the files just fine there and play them, but they cannot be added to the collection. Adding silently fails, is very slow, or music gets added but cannot be played.

Computing > Linux narky Mon, 21 Aug 2006 05:45:34 GMT http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=160784 I can't seem to play any type of embedded video in Firefox anymore. Example: if I try to play a video through BBC News Player, MPlayer plug-in begins buffering the video and then stops without playing anything. Same behaviour appears when attempting to playback any type of embedded video in Firefox. The behaviour doesn't appear to be type or site specific. This didn't always happen. I first noticed the behaviour after I removed totem-xine and replaced it with totem-gstreamer. (I did this because totem-xine wouldn't playback video smoothly from a shared networked drive, but totem-gstreamer would.) Computing > Linux > Howto narky Wed, 01 Nov 2006 21:33:17 GMT http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185288 Does anyone have a decent technique for downloading and watching video podcasts? iTunes made it so easy and I've not found a viable substitute for Ubuntu yet. Specifically, I want to be able to download a video version of diggnation each week. I want the program to download the new podcast to a specified folder and allow me to play the podcast without having to manually open another player. I can handle it if the program opens another media player to play the podcast. Seriously, is there a program that will do all this? Or do I have to hop on board some project to make it a reality?

It's fast, it's easy to configure and thanks to MTVG it's easy to browse and to use. You get notified for things you don't want to miss, the listings get updated automatically and, thanks to the way KDE sessions work, you can just take advantage of the MTVG system tray icon, have the application always run in the background and never think of it until you need it.
