My skype also crashes somethimes (after some time ) with pidgin and skype, i just restart them both. This doesn't happen very often, does it happen often for you? Dotfiles Offline. Thanks a lot wonder. Just enabled testing and everything is fine. You are brilliant. Then open VLC media player, go to Tools, Preferences, Video and select “X11 Video Output (XCB)” as video Output. For video playback with mplayer, use: mplayer -vo vaapi -va vaapi videofile. Fix TouchScreen.

In Movie Player, it displays error message saying 'Could not determine type of stream'.
When I see the properties of those video files, there is no information on 'Audio/Video' tab. There should be information about audio and video codec, bitrate, etc.
Are these videos corrupt? Or, am I missing some codecs?

My solution was to go to Tools > Preferences in VLC and, in the Video tab:
Then Save your changes. That may fix the problem.

Didn't mention that I was downloading the video files from torrent. Didn't feel to mention it over here because my torrent client shows that it has been downloaded 100%.
I was using qBittorrent Bittorrent client to download the video files. It shows 100% completed. But I was not able to play those video files.
Then I tried to open the torrent file (putting the download location same as that of qBittorrent download location) with Transmission Bittorrent client, the default Bittorrent client in Ubuntu.
To my surprise, Transmission shows that the video file is downloaded 99.8% only. It then downloaded the rest 0.2% and now I am able to play those video files.
Never thought that the torrent client can also be a reason for video files not being played. Hope this issue will help others having similar kind of problem.

You are probably missing the codecs, which may be patented and are not included in Ubuntu by default.

Codecs are prepacked with vlc , so the possible reason is videos are corrupted , If you wanna try your luck ,try to play the video using mplayer

For some reason VLC was crashing on start when opening .mp4 files on Ubutuntu 14.04.
Enigma platinum collection torrent download. This may not work for others but it worked for me:
I would try upgrading before doing this and seeing if you need to updateVLC. I didn't need to update it, just had to reinstall because VLC became currupt somehow. Could have possibly been my preferences in VLC got messed up some how (I never touched them).
All public read/write properties and fields of the type are serialized. You can opt out members from serialization by using the IgnoreDataMemberAttribute. You can also explicitly create a data contract by using DataContractAttribute and DataMemberAttribute attributes. Datacontract serialization attributes of jesus. So this seems to work by using a mix of DataContract attributes and then XmlSerialization attribute XmlAttribute, which I didn't reallize you could do, I thought it was one or the other. DataContract XML serialization and XML attributes with VB.NET. DataContract XML serialization. Can I use DataContract and Serializable together? With [DataContract], only members marked with [DataMember] are included. Note that if a type has both [DataContract] and [Serializable] attributes on it, it will use the [DataContract] mapping. WCF DataContract requires Serialization?
