Tutorial Others Playing On Linux - Tutorials, Tools And Help

HI,
I am having issues running multiple renpy games in Kali running on WSL2.

I connect to my instance using " kex --esm --ip -s" which enables sound and i can watch youtube so sound is working. (pulse audio)
My issue is not related tot sound at all but rather video's playing in the games I am playing.

All the games play okay but non of them play any videos.
I did install VLC just to ensure I have all the codex and this did not work.

When the game plays a video the screen is just blank.
WLS2 and Kali do not have wine installed so I do not know if that is the issue.

ALSA lib confmisc.c:855:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:5204:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_inum returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:422:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings

I do not know if the sound issues is stopping the videos but here is the error I get when running games anyway.
any help will be appreciated

I don't know about linux but on windows VLC don't install any codecs, it has them in the VLC program folder where only VLC knows about and can use them.

So if you try to play a video with mediaplayer after installing VLC, mediaplayer will not play the video as the codecs will not be installed on the system.

For your problem you can try and install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" in the app manager (if you have one), this is the codec pack for linux, if you don't have a app manager on your distro you'll need to apt-get it with the command line.

Installing "ubuntu-restricted-extras" will allow you to play videos in other video players (mplayer, smplayer) other than VLC, so ren'py games should be able to use it to play the videos.

I have some RPGM games whose animations on in a separate mediaplayer window, making them next to impossible to play. Is there any fix or work-around for this issue?
