Merk op dat Xubuntu met zeer beperkte multimediaondersteuning wordt geleverd. De reden hiervoor is dat veel populaire multimedia-indelingen niet vrij zijn; ze worden beschermd door patenten of licentiebeperkingen. Om problemen te voorkomen wordt Xubuntu zonder ondersteuning voor die indelingen geleverd. Overweeg om open en vrije indelingen te gebruiken zoals Ogg Vorbis (audio) en Ogg Theora (video).
If, however, you still want to use restricted multimedia formats, you will need to install codecs the repositories. Follow these instructions to enable the Medibuntu repository.
A multimedia codec is a small piece of software which allows you to watch videos or listen to music of a specific format. There are many different multimedia formats and so you may need to install several codecs. Xubuntu includes many codecs by default.
The multimedia applications in Xubuntu use the Xine backend.
Other applications, such as Mplayer and Totem-Gstreamer, do not use the Xine backend. Due to patent and copyright restrictions, codecs for these programs are not included at all in Xubuntu. For more information on these read the Restricted Formats wiki page.
To install extra codecs for xine and some other restricted items, issue the following command on the terminal:
sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-plugins ffmpeg lame faad sox mjpegtools gxineplugin flashplugin-nonfree
You may also use Synaptic Package Manager to install these packages (see Hoofdstuk 11, Toepassingen installeren, verwijderen en bijwerken).
