Hello there and welcome to LinuxHtO and in this video I will be guiding you how
0:08
to install the media codec so that you can play any kind of video file in your Linux
0:13
distribution so this is my Ubuntu and I have recently installed the Ubuntu
0:19
21.04 so this is the latest LTS but this has some codec issue for example I
0:27
have downloaded two files here so if I try to play any of these video files they will not play this will say unable to play the file
0:35
h.265 high profile decoder is required to play the file but is not installed so what this means
0:43
is that you don't have the required codec files that can decode the video and play it for you
0:51
so for that you have to install the codex so just open up the terminal and type this command
0:57
type pseudo APD install and then type Ubuntu desistricted desksrestricted desks extras hit enter type in the password
1:21
and this will install some codex that will be used to play all kind of video
1:27
use in your system just hit enter again and this will download all the codecs and set
1:33
them up in your system it would take only a few seconds to do all the magic so this is asking you for some kind of agreement just hit okay hit yes again and I think it is downloading some
1:56
funds and these are I think proprietary funds so that is why it is taking some time
2:03
because it is fetching those funds from the internet and they are not definitely not
2:08
not available to the repository so that they can be downloaded very fast and easily
2:14
So this may take some time even though the files are really small but still it is taking
2:20
some connectivity time here. Okay so this is saying some kind of error but it has done the installation I think it has
2:28
installed the codex in the system so if I go to the download folder again and try to play
2:36
the file. and the file is playing now because the codex has been installed in the system
2:42
So now I can play the file because it has the codex that are required and that way you can
2:49
play any kind of video files if it is not playing in the system
2:53
You just have to install this package, this Ubuntu restricted extras. So it has some proprietary content, proprietary packages in it and that package can be installed easily
3:05
but you have to install it that was it in this video and i hope you find it helpful and if you
3:11
did then don't forget to subscribe to the channel i'll catch you in the next one till then take
3:15
care and keep enjoying linux
