Title: Totem Player not working
Post by: cute curtis on October 16, 2019, 01:03:10 PM
Hello I have Sony netbook VPC115WXG PCG-4T4P running at 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 with Intel GMA 950 and 1G RAM.

I installed Totem player but it does not seem working or the GUI does not show at all after execution. I installed Xorg.7.7-3d together with xf86-intel, is there still any extension I need to install?

Assuming you're speaking of tc-10.x x86, the problem seems to be here:
Code: [Select]
$ totem
totem: error while loading shared libraries: libgstbasevideo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'll take a look - it seems libgstbasevideo-1.0 became libgstbadvideo-1.0 between tc-8.x and tc-9.x

Things seem to work now.

Hi Juanito, did you mean you fixed the extension and I have just to redownload and install?
Title: Re: Totem Player not working
Post by: Juanito on October 18, 2019, 05:25:51 AM
Affirmative - be sure to update totem and clutter-gst.

Hi, I freshly installed  TC 10 with only Xorg.7.7-3D and totem as new new extensions. The GUI don't pop-up only a terminal-like window then immediately close. I also tried to right click a video file and then open with totem. The GUI shows but also immediately close.

clicking the icon:

Opening via left click context menu of video file with totem:

I just double-checked totem.

* boot to console
* load graphics-KERNEL Xorg-7.7-3d alsa-config
* load pavucontrol
* start dbus daemon
* startx
* check sound OK with pavucontrol

then:
Code: [Select]
$ totem /mnt/sdb1/media/video/video_test.mp4

(totem:10354): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 10:11:47.991: g_object_set_is_valid_property: object class 'GstPlayBin' has no property named ''

(totem:10354): Grilo-WARNING **: 10:11:48.080: [magnatune] grl-magnatune.c:342: Plugin can't reach magnatune.com - 'Error resolving ?www.magnatune.com?: Temporary failure in name resolution'
..and video plays without problems.

I could say this is true also about firefox. At least in firefox  you can press F11(full screen) to only shows the title, in full window.for console programs, I use "aterm -bl -e program" to get rid of borders etc . see "aterm -help"
Anyway, I can live with this "bug" in TC for now on desktop :) Maybe is a little annoying for notebooks, because the screen is very small
FYI: is best IMHO to use flwm_topside.tcz (to have the title on the left-size window, so to gain a little more vertical space.

Which architecture are you using (x86, x86_64)?
Which extension are you having problems with (firefox, totem)?
Which graphics hardware are you using with Xorg-7.7-3d?

Since it depends on  Xorg , no.

This should start totem fullscreen:
Code: [Select]
$ totem --fullscreen video_test.mp4
..however it does not start totem fullscreen for me - perhaps because flwm was being used rather than the gnome environment.

I also do not have a video at my screen's native resolution available to test.

The command only maximize both the vertical and horizontal dimension, I still see the menu unlike in VLC

gnome-session starts the gnome desktop environment - I wouldn't particularly recommend it as it pulls in hundreds of extensions..

Hi, why I'm getting overlapping file browser when saving/ uploading files, is this about Xorg?

Are you asking why the file open/file save dialogue window goes off the bottom of the screen?

If so, this seems to be a problem with most gnome apps when used outside the gnome desktop.

In TC11 (x86) after tce-load -iw totem I get:

Hello, I updated to TC11 it seems there's problem playing video when adding from menu instead of CLI also not playing fullscreen

P.S. can't find alsa-mixer in repo to test the audio

I can add a local video from the totem menu, but I cannot find a way to play the video.

Using "totem video_file" from the command line plays a video without problems.

As I think was mentioned previously, totem will only play full screen in the gnome environment (CorePure64 only).

I'll check if I can play a video from the totem menu the next time I use the gnome environment.
Title: Re: Totem Player not working
Post by: Juanito on March 01, 2020, 04:01:53 AM
I tested totem with gnome-session in CorePure64 and the "+" button lets me choose a local video file, but will not display it anywhere so I cannot play it.

This being said, any video file saved under ~/Videos will be displayed automatically by totem - this is because they are indexed by the tracker data miner. You can also select another location for tracker to index recursively (for example, /mnt/sdb1/media) and all video files found there will also be displayed automatically.

Unfortunately the above doesn't help you in 32-bit tinycore, so you are stuck with launching totem and the video you wish to play from the cli.

(Interestingly, with the dleyna* extensions loaded, I can watch apple movie trailers, euronews, etc and play videos streamed from my local media streamer -  the totem youtube search does not work though.)

Juanito what I mean is I cannot maximize nor expand the window, still stuck to default

Is it the TC11 the cause of this why I'm able to play videos by just selecting from any location when I was in TC10 as you can see in my previous messages?

If you load alsa-config before alsa, sound is usually un-muted - you can also use alsamixer to un-mute and then save the settings.

totem was updated from 3.8.2 in tc-10 to 3.26.2 in tc-11, which probably accounts for the difference in behaviour.

The dleyna extensions are in CorePure64.
