How to play .rmvb files in Ubuntu

by on July 27, 2007

This tutorial will take you step by step through installing all of the software necessary to play rmvb (RealMedia Variable Bitrate) files in Ubuntu Linux.

Though the steps and screenshots are specific to Ubuntu, they will likely be similar for other versions of Linux. With that said, be sure to read the MPlayer README file if you’re not using Ubuntu. Similar to some of the other tutorials on Simplehelp, this is almost certainly not the only way to play .rmvb files in Ubuntu, but it’s the easiest way I could find. If you know of a easier method, by all means please feel free to leave a comment.

  1. The first step in playing .rmvb files in Ubuntu is to use the Synaptic Package Manager to install MPlayer. When you mark MPlayer for installation, you’ll be prompted to install additional software packages (if they’re not already installed).

    2. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux

  2. After MPlayer has been installed, exit out of the Synaptic Package Manager and visit the MPlayer binary codec download page. Download the codec package for your platform (for example, if you’re using a 32bit Intel or AMD processor, download the Linux x86 package).

    Save the file to your desktop (or home folder). Once the download has completed, double-click that file. Select the folder to uncompress, and click the Extract button.

  3. Choose a location to extract the files (your desktop is ideal) and again click Extract.

    4. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux

  4. Make sure the files extracted correctly. They’ll be in a folder titled essential-date.

    5. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux

  5. Open up a Terminal by selecting Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.

    6. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux

  6. Enter the following commands (and your password when prompted):

    cd Desktop
    cd essential-date
    sudo mkdir /usr/lib/codecs
    sudo cp * /usr/lib/codecs

    7. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux

  7. NOTE: you may need to install libstdc++5 to get .rmvb files to play. Even though it might not be necessary for you, it can’t hurt to install (the package isn’t very big). Run the command: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 in a Terminal, or use Synaptic and search for libstdc++5. Thanks to everyone who commented (see comments below) for the tip.
  8. Launch MPLayer by selecting Applications -> Sound & Video -> MPlayer Movie Player. Right-click in the Mplayer – Video window and select Preferences from the menu.

    9. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux

  9. Select the Video tab and change the Available drivers: to x11 X11 (XImage/Shm).

    10. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux
    click to enlarge

  10. Select the Codecs & demuxer tab and change the Video codec family: to RealVideo decoder and the Audio codec family: to FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders. When you’re done, click OK and close down MPlayer.

    11. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux
    click to enlarge

  11. Locate one of your .rmvb files, right-click it and select Properties.

    12. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux

  12. Select the Open With tab and change whatever the default is to MPlayer Movie Player. Click Close.

    13. play rmvb files in ubuntu linux
    click to enlarge

  13. Double-click any of your .rmvb files and they should open up in MPlayer and start playing.

    W0o0 got mine to work!!

    but i dont get what step 9 does…

  • Robby,

    It changes the default codec (audio and video) for MPlayer. Without those changes, I was unable to get rmvb files to play. I’m not sure they’re 100% required for EVERY rmvb file, but I only had two to test with (and neither worked without the changes).

    Cheers!

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply, its just that rmvb doesnt play, all others, wmv, avi, vob all play. what do you think might be the problem? i’m thinking to reinstall again.

  • Vincent FANG

    If you installed Ubuntu 7.10 and your mplayer can not play rmvb.

    Try following steps,

    1. Open Synaptic Package Manager.
    2. Search libstdc++5 and install it.
    3. Download new Codec from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html and install it.

  • This is great… it just works… perfectly. :)

    P.S: Im on Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn.

  • floe

    Thanks :)

    Installing the libstdc++5 did it for me
    Now im able to watch my rmvb files :)

  • Kris

    Thank you! I’m using Feisty, and the tutorial worked.. MPlayer is now playing all my movie files with ease. I only have one issue.. when I go to fullscreen, my movies don’t resize, just the window does. Is this normal??

  • Kris

    Ah-ha! Changed my video codec to xv and that fixed it. Lost some video quality, but hey.. what can you do?

    Try to drag and drop your rmvb file to mplay. Read all the comments above.

    One more thing, in my case X11/Xv is all right; the X11(XImage/Shm) can play rmvb but cannot enlarge the video.

    Thanks for this post!

    (dont know which one of them made the difference, it probably has been only be the directory change)

  • Virginia

    Hi,
    I’m using Ubuntu 8.04 and cannot play rmvb files. No images but sound in Mplayer. I wonder how you manage to play rmvb files? and after installing the libstdc++5 how to copy those codec to /usr/lib/codec ?

    Thank you. Everything worked for me after I renamed /usr/lib/win32 to /usr/lib/codecs.

  • Ronny

    On Ubuntu 8.04,

    you have to install libstdc++5 from synaptic
    and copying the codecs to /usr/lib/codecs!!!

    Great Tutorial!

  • Dhanuraj

    Hi,

    After following these steps, it plays the audio but the video could not be played, sometimes not even the audio!!

    It throws an error message:
    Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video
    format (hex address)

    Or

    Cannot find codec for audio format (hex address)

    What could be the reason? Any possible solutions?

  • @Dhanuraj:

    Take a look at the comments on the post – you probably just have to move the codecs to another folder, esp. if you’re using 8.04

  • liang

    sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
    this is what you need if you can’t watch rmvb

    by the way, when he asked you to copy the binary into /usr/lib/win32, instead copy everything from the folder you downloaded online into /usr/lib/codec

  • Charlie Zh

    Cool! after installing libstdc++5, it works! Thank you ^v^

  • thanks a lot…
    please change the tutorial to reflect the sudo cp * /usr/lib/codecs change.

  • Kumar

    Problem- “Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0×30345652″

    Solution- Go to=> Synaptic package manager and search for win32 codec, then choose and select apply.

  • Crafton

    Works like a charm! Hardy 8.04 64-bit

  • Varun

    THANKS!!!!!

    Can’t tell you how much I needed this. I had tried everything, even installed RealPlayer for Linux, but it was only giving audio with no video…

    @Kris
    I had the same problem, but your suggestion worked flawlessly….I have fiesty too.

    Thanks everyone.

  • Frank

    for the latest version of ubuntu,mplayer and its codecs. I think libstdc++5 is essential for mplayer to play rmvb files. If you get libstdc++5 and create the codecs folder, it will work for sure:)

  • Dan

    Thanks!

  • Giovanni

    I have a different version of mplayer i think. in my preferences i dont have a tab for video. just audio, display and video :s
    any suggestions?

  • works great!

  • Mat

    Thanks guys, once I installed the libstdc++5 codec all was well.

    sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

  • you don’t need mplayer only add more non-free plugins:
    ——————————————————

    1.-open terminal

    2.-sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

    3.-sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

    Hi,
    i got the reverse, did all that and i get video but no audio.

  • nass

    thank you so much!!!

    i’m using Ubuntu 8.10

    i did everything as you said except in Step 6 i used the following:

    sudo mkdir /usr/lib/codecs
    sudo cp * /usr/lib/codecs

    and it works.

    thanks again

  • I confirm changing step 6 to:

    sudo mkdir /usr/lib/codecs
    sudo cp * /usr/lib/codecs

    Works in 8.10.

    To get fullscreen use OpenGL.

    Thanks very much for this tutorial, I really hate Realplayer.

  • Nguyen

    Hi thanks guys,
    In Ubuntu 8.10:
    Follow Ross’ instructions. Replace /usr/lib/win32 with /usr/lib/codecs as Sergio pointed out.
    It works instantly. Don’t have to do any further step.

    try it with an double hyphen before the configure. i think the blog software corrupted it to a bigger hyphen und the prog does not know that. or have you tried it already?

  • Awesome, works on Debian Etch. My mistake was to think that libstdc++6 will work. When I play the rmvb file I get “Mplayer interrrupted by signal 11 in module:init_audio_codec”. You need to specifically use libstdc++5. Thanks for the tutorial!

  • Ray

    great guide, however I don’t need to change anymore settings on Mplayer anymore, which means I can play rmvb after step 6 or 7

  • ah_hin

    I tried sudo apt-get install libstdc++5, but it doesn’t work.

    at the end of all the warnings/errors
    it says

    The following packages have unmet dependencis:
    libstdc++5: Depends: gcc-3.3-base (>= 1:3.3.6-15ubuntu4) but it is not installable
    E: Broken packages

    I am trying to do this on my PS3 with 8.10

  • ah_hin

    Got it working finally !
    had to install the gcc-3.3-base package first
    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/powerpc/gcc-3.3-base/1:3.3.6-15ubuntu4

    after installing this file, then I could install the libstdc++5
    then voila, Mplayer can play rmvb
    but as somebody mentioned above, when I tried to see it in full screen using OpenGL, the video is stuttering like crazy. Anyway of solving that?

    This is running on my PS3.

  • cperez =)

    Hey thanks for the tip!

    However when double clicking the videos, I also couldn’t play them in full screen mode as reported Stephanie and An_hin.
    However I noticed that when opening the files through the console
    >mplayer myvideo.rmvb [enter]
    mplayer can resize the video correctly. Wonder if this is a bug in the graphical-user-interface =/

    Regards

  • cperez =)

    I take that back, it is not a bug.
    You fix that by adding “zoom=true” to the file $HOME\ .mplayer/config

    example:
    >cat $HOME/.mplayer/config
    # Write your default config options here!
    zoom=yes
    >

    regards

  • ah_hin

    thank you cperez

    i typed: echo “zoom=yes” >> ~/.mplayer/config
    to terminal, and it worked

    but the video was stuttering too badly once in full screen.

    So now I need to figure out how to make my PS3 play rmvb in full screen smoother.

  • Toño

  • Reindolf

    a very big thank you to you. i tried your way and after months of toiling to get .rm working, i am now able to watch my shows.
    though, the step 9 # Select the Video tab and change the Available drivers: to x11 X11 (XImage/Shm). worked but so well that if the pixels are small, even in full screen mode, the video size will remain small unless changed to x11 X11/Xv where full screen worked for me. the quality depletes but being able to see the video is better than nothing at all.

    Except that I couldn’t install “sudo apt-get install libstdc++5” it seems not included in the repository. the video part working fine but no sound, I just started changing Audio driver until it worked [it is oss:ioctl audio output ].
    Thanks a lot )

  • This does not work in 64 bit Ububtu 9.04 and above.

  • ooooh, thanks. This work with Debian Lenny! I think mplayer play much better than xine this type of file.
    I see guys.

    Viejo. Me funcionó el tutorial a la primera. Mil gracias

  • i try in debian lenny and it works. thank you.

  • eyebug

    Thank for sharing…….I can play .rmvb files now………………go Ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great Solution and very effective and useful , but i think it would be much simpler to just install RealPlayer for linux ( DEB Package ) and just trigger your .rmvb easily , that’s my angle of view :)

    Much Appreciated , Regards
