I am running ubuntu 8.04 and when I try to run the mp3 player for shoes  
it says there is no video support.

Can someone point me to where I can add the video support  
thanks

Try installing shoes from:

[http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/dist/shoes-0.r811.tar.gz](http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/dist/shoes-0.r811.tar.gz)

Check whether the following vlc plugins are installed

libvlc0 libvlc0.dev vlc vlc-nox vlc-plugin-pulse

Good Luck,
