The default location for everything is inside /usr; so executables go in /usr/bin, themes and scripts in /usr/share/lives/, and libraries and compiled plugins in /usr/lib. However, if you do relocate, and this is not a fresh install, you will need to edit your .lives file in your home directory and adjust and so that they point to the correct locations for scripts and plugins. IMPORTANT: if the library directory is anything except /usr/lib, you should adjust the libraries in libweed pkg-config files: libweed/ .pc. If you use a library path other $PREFIX/lib for the plugins you also need to do: Make sure you have themes and icons, and plugins installed as above. If they are moved from their installed location, make sure you edit and in ~/.lives In case of any problems, check your ~/.lives file and make sure everything is pointing to the right locations. You can also try deleting your ~/.lives file. LiVES will then run through the install process the next time it is started. Make sure there is plenty of space available in the working directory. The directory may be changed through Preferences / Directories. If you are having problems encoding, make sure you have everything you need installed. The plugins are just interfaces, and you need to have the binaries installed also. Some of the encoder formats have other dependencies, the LiVES website has more details. Note that current versions of LiVES no longer require mplayer to open most file types. Make sure you have the necessary libraries compiled in libav. For other formats, dv format can be opened with libdv and the dv decoder plugin. Ogg/theora can be opened with libogg and libtheora. If you are having problems opening video, edit /usr/bin/smogrify, and near the top put: $DEBUG OPEN=1; you will then see the mplayer open command on the console, which can be cut and pasted into a terminal window. Finally, if you are still having problems, join the lives-video mailing list and you can ask your question there ! The 'load audio' function supports .wav, .mp3 (mpg123 required), mod, xm and .ogg (ogg123 required).
