How to play .rmvb in Ubuntu
Linux September 8th, 2008
- Follow the official instruction to install all the restricted formats:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
- Install MPlayer:
sudo apt-get install mplayer
- Download MPlayer binary codecs package from here.
- Install MPlayer binary codecs package: (Note: the package name may differ from yours.)
tar xjvf essential-20071007.tar.bz2 sudo mkdir /usr/lib/codecs sudo cp essential-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs
At this point, you should be able to play rmvb files now. In case you still can’t, install libstdc++5 as follow:
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

I am not sure about your problem. But you may have to reboot your computer after install them to make it works.
Or try removing completely mplayer through synaptic, then reinstall it. Then it should be ok like others.
Good luck
