Extension webm - LinuxNoob - 01-03-2016
I have noticed that downloaded video's from Youtube have appeared on my drives with the extension or Filename.webm and vlc does not recognize the new format.
I know this is not a LL issue but wondering if anyone has a solution to this now or should I wait for VLC to correct this?
Knowing VLC can play about almost anything I'm sure changing the extension will not make a difference.
Youtube always messing **** up.

Use the Video Download Helper Extension/Add-on in Firefox. Or consider installing the Slimjet browser (www.slimjet.com).

Not sure what could be wrong here. Webm's play just fine here in VLC. Please post the output of:
Code:
exiftool myfile.webmIf exiftool is not installed, install it with:
Code:
sudo apt-get install exiftoolRe: Extension webm - LinuxNoob - 01-04-2016

Any chance you can upload this file somewhere on the net? I'll take a look at it.

I've added it to Dropbox.

That doesn't work here. How did you get this file in the first place? What browser addons do you have (all of them)?
Re: Extension webm - Valtam - 01-04-2016
FYI, this file does play in Audacity, it's audio only, no video.
Code:
sudo apt-get install audacityRe: Extension webm - LinuxNoob - 01-04-2016

There was an extension I was using in firefox called ant video download. It was something I been using for a while and it has been working flawlessly for over a year never had a problem. Recently I have noticed that the file extension had webm after downloading a video from youtube.
I just installed dropbox thinking that it would work like and ftp never expected it was going to try and play the dam file lol Sorry about that.
Well I took torreydale's advice and installed another download firefox ext and that seems to have taken care of it. I assume you are in no need to have that file right? It's like 15mb big kinda small for a video file and maybe thats why it had only audio. makes sense...
Kinda new to ftp and drop box stuff.
Note: I noticed the website associated with the ant downloader is moving to another server maybe after they finish that it will be looking after this.
