I have been trying to play the go-open DVD that was available at the East Side PLUG meeting last Thursday.  I have no problem under XP using the included player for windows.  However, I am having little success under Linux (ubuntu 
6.06 or SUSE 10.1) and had asked Joe Zagar what luck he had.<br><br>Joseph Zagar wrote:

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">I wrote back:<br><br>Almost the same except that nothing plays.&nbsp; The second file icon does
show a picture of the host rather than the opening text image the rest
show.&nbsp; I have totem (1.4.3-0ubuntu1) and totem-gstreamer
(1.4.3-0ubuntu1) installed.<br>
<br>
I did learn that the second one will play with Movie Player (about menu
item under help shows it to me Totem 1.4.3) although it does not
autorun.&nbsp; The others will open but cannot be made to play.&nbsp; The opening
screen shows up but the controls seem ineffective.&nbsp; They act the same
way if I drag them to the desktop and try to run them from there.
Interestingly, if I use the save button in the lower right of Movie
Player the saved file shows a different icon and attempting to open the
saved file gives the same error I get under SUSE 10.1:<br>
<blockquote type="cite"><span style="font-weight: bold;">&nbsp;&nbsp; Cannot open
go-open-1x02.ogm</span><br style="font-weight: bold;">
  <br>
The
filename &quot;go-open-1x02.ogm&quot; indicates that this file is of type &quot;OGM
video&quot;. The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type &quot;MP3
ShoutCast playlist&quot;. If you open this file, the file might present a
security risk to your system.
  <br>
  <br>
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or
received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the
file to the correct extension for &quot;MP3 ShoutCast playlist&quot;, then open
the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a
specific application for the file. <br clear="all">

I suspect this is a clue that Movie Player (mine) needs a plugin for
shoutcast that I don't have despite the fact that totem-gstreamer
claims to support it.&nbsp; These are the kinds of things that drive folks
away from FOSS unfortunately.&nbsp; I think I will bring this to the PLUG
Discussion list for help.<br>
<br>Oh, and one more thing is that if I wait long enough under ubuntu Movie Player pops a small dialog box that says &quot;An error occurred&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Could not decode stream&quot; so again, it looks like some decoder is missing.
