How to play .ts files? (and other unusual formats)
I recommend smplayer and gecko-mediaplayer, which are the best mplayer frontend and browser plugin respectively. For codecs get ubuntu-restricted-extras
. I also recommend the Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto tutorial.
smplayer
gecko-mediaplayer
ubuntu-restricted-extras
Try this solution then, install mplayer-nogui
and play your video from terminal.
mplayer-nogui
Playing video from terminal:
mplayer /path/to/your/video/file
Almost all the videos can be played here. None of the videos failed for me but I have never tried .ts video files. Let me know if it works for you.
