[Solved] MX Codecs Installer

#1 Post by TauTsar »

Received two errors while using codecs installer.
error installing:
libdvdcss2-1.4.0-dmo1.amd64.deb
w64codecs20071007-dmo2-amd64.deb

Can't play dvds obviously.
TIA

Worked fine for me, can you please run the program from command line with "sudo -E mx-codecs" and display paste here whatever is spits out on the terminal? (use code or quote tags).
You might have a connectivity problem.

Can you try manually:

Code: Select all

wget http://deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.4.0-dmo1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.4.0-dmo1_amd64.deb
The dpkg needs to be executed in the same folder where you executed the wget command. There's a problem with the installation but I'm not sure what the problem is. What MX version do you use?

I just ran dpkg and when it wouldn't run I realized Synaptic was open. I reran MX Codecs Installer with Synaptic closed and it worked.
Sorry and thanks.

Thanks for the report! That's actually a bug that can be fixed, in MX Package Installer I check if other package managers lock the system and warn the user, I should probably apply the same thing to this app.
