And try as I might (using mate), I can't add codecs that will let it play various types of video files. I gave up and installed VLC and SMplayer, and they'll play just about anything, from the get go. Usually, one can right-click on a file in a file browser, or on the desktop, and choose "properties." When the properties window pops up, go to the "open with" tab, and that'll set the program that will open that type of file up, whenever you double-click on them. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.15.17-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 12 18:28:26 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
