I tried to install FFmpeg on my Ubuntu 15.
When I try to play video like this:
./ffplay video.mp4
It shows me that:
bash :./ffplay: no such file or directory
How can I fix this problem please?
First you have to install ffmpeg.
Open a terminal and execute :
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Navigate to the folder containing the video file and execute :
ffplay <video-file-name-including-the-file-extension>
Or open Nautilus file manager, right-click the folder containing the video file, open in terminal ...
Examples (one with spaces in the file name and one without) :
ffplay Type-C-Hypervisors.mp4
ffplay "OpenStack for Everybody.mp4"

@ldeveloper : This means that you already have ffmpeg installed. What do you mean with link ? Examples in the answer are videos that are on my PC ... so you of course have to take your video files and folders. :) – cl-netbox Mar 27 '16 at 16:37

@ldeveloper : Here you can find some more information about video streaming with ffmpeg / ffplay -> trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/StreamingGuide - but this is not the "normal" way of using ffmpeg / ffplay ... :) – cl-netbox Mar 27 '16 at 17:06

@cl-netbox Unfortunately, that guide is a mess (it's written by one well-intentioned, yet scatterbrained guy and has received no cleanup), and it about encoding for streaming, not playback. I think it will simply confuse the OP. – llogan Mar 27 '16 at 18:04
Your command ./ffplay tries to run ffplay from the current directory ("."). Since the ffmpeg package installs ffplay in /usr/bin, and not in your current directory, ./ffplay cannot find the program to execute.
Use ffplay video.mp4 (remove the "./"), and let your shell find the executable using $PATH.
