<p><b>New page</b></p><div>* [[MOOBEX]] report for Ubuntu 8.04.1 x86_32<br />
* tested on August 16, 2008 by [[User:Multimedia Mike|Multimedia Mike]]<br />
<br />
=== General Notes ===<br />
* allowed Ubuntu to install its copious updates after its initial boot<br />
* Totem 2.22.1 is the main media player<br />
* Ubuntu seems to perform admirably OOB, at least WRT knowing what media is and giving clear indications of what is wrong; maybe that's only useful to me, though<br />
* I'm very impressed with the fact that Totem recognized absolutely everything, even though it couldn't play anything on the first pass<br />
* Rhythmbox 0.11.5<br />
* pass 2: allow it to go out and fetch GStreamer codec pack<br />
* codec packs available:<br />
** GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin: Codecs to play mpeg, divx, mpeg4, ac3, wmv, and asf files<br />
** GStreamer extra plugins: Codecs to play mp3, sid, mpeg1, mpeg2, AC-3, DVD (without encryption)<br />
** GStreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, musepack: apparently needed for AAC<br />
