How to install all possible media codecs from console?
Is there a way to load and save them for some cases without Internet connection?
Thanks in Advance!
For Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10 (12.04 or later)
update the repos:
sudo apt-get update
install CURL tool
sudo apt-get install curl
load VideoLAN repository
curl https://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list
sudo apt-get update
install VLC and Mplayer, and their support elements
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-data browser-plugin-vlc mplayer2
If still using 14.04 LTS (or earlier), then:
sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-pulse
install remaining Ubuntu 'restricted extras' (146 MB when installed, skip if space is critical)
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
If you are NOT already using 16.04 LTS (or later), force (manually) install the three key elements for full DVD support:
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdnav4 libdvdread4
