X11 Video Output Xcb Download

I downloaded some videos (both mp4 and avi) and I am unable to play them both in Movie Player and VLC.
In Movie Player, it displays error message saying 'Could not determine type of stream'.
When I see the properties of those video files, there is no information on 'Audio/Video' tab. There should be information about audio and video codec, bitrate, etc.
Feb 9, 2016 - You need to change the video output in vlc, it don't work automaticly. Click on Video on top of panel; Change output from automatic to X11 (XCB) Save. [Tutorial] - Build (or download) VLC with hardware acceleration video.
Component Video Output
Are these videos corrupt? Or, am I missing some codecs?

My solution was to go to Tools > Preferences in VLC and, in the Video tab:
- Check the box for Enable video (if it's unchecked).
- Check the box for Window decorations (if it's unchecked).
- Set the Output drop-down menu to X11 video output (XCB).
Then Save your changes. That may fix the problem.
Eliah KaganDidn't mention that I was downloading the video files from torrent. Didn't feel to mention it over here because my torrent client shows that it has been downloaded 100%.
I was using qBittorrent Bittorrent client to download the video files. It shows 100% completed. But I was not able to play those video files.
Then I tried to open the torrent file (putting the download location same as that of qBittorrent download location) with Transmission Bittorrent client, the default Bittorrent client in Ubuntu.
To my surprise, Transmission shows that the video file is downloaded 99.8% only. It then downloaded the rest 0.2% and now I am able to play those video files.
Never thought that the torrent client can also be a reason for video files not being played. Hope this issue will help others having similar kind of problem.
Mukesh ChapagainMukesh ChapagainYou are probably missing the codecs, which may be patented and are not included in Ubuntu by default.
Installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, via sudo apt-get or via the Software Center by clicking this link should solve your problem.
Codecs are prepacked with vlc , so the possible reason is videos are corrupted , If you wanna try your luck ,try to play the video using mplayer
TachyonsTachyonsFor some reason VLC was crashing on start when opening .mp4 files on Ubutuntu 14.04.
This may not work for others but it worked for me:
Most important: Listen to Swami Tarak Mantra () during these 3 days over and over again. Akkalkot swami samarth charitra in telugu pdf. Continue doing Swami Naam Japa ( or ) throughout the 3 days along with your request to Swami to help you. • The longer the Japa you do the more it will help the purpose you are doing the upasana.
I would try upgrading before doing this and seeing if you need to updateVLC. I didn't need to update it, just had to reinstall because VLC became currupt somehow. Could have possibly been my preferences in VLC got messed up some how (I never touched them).
uninstalling VLC with softwaremanager and then reinstall it from getdeb.net. It works fine now on .mov and .mp4 and the .avi etc. files
