Solution for playing videos on Linux?

Hi Rafael,
I had the same need a few months ago and I got video working in Linux with MonoGame 3.5.1 by adding TheoraPlay, Video and VideoPlayer classes as suggested:
Here:

VideoPlayer class is missing

Hi I am Reza Hooshangi. We made a XNA Game called BloodyStreets in the past year and now we are trying to port it to MonoGame to make Linux and MacOS exports. http://www.indiedb.com/games/bloody-streets http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=185477408 I downloaded MonoGame for visual studio 2012 and created a Windows OpenGL project but there’s a problem.Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media.VideoPlayer class is missing and I need it for playing some cutscenes in game. How should I us…

And here:

VideoPlayer.cs Monogame 3.2

Microsoft.Xna.Frame.Meida.VideoPlayer is fine in xna 4.0 Microsoft.Xna.Frame.Media.VideoPlayer does not exist in anyversion of xna. I download c make. try out theroplay but it never works and i never know how to get it going. this has been going on for about 6 months now. I still code in xna visual studios 2010 because i just cnat’ get the freaking videoplayer.cs to run! someone give me a solution that works besides a link! can i get instructions on how to get it going in 3.2! maybe it’s e…

Then I just had to install libtheora0, convert the videos using ex: VLC and then load the video file with MonoGame.

Those files don’t work with MonoGame 3.6 as they are because some GL functions changed.
If it helps I can upload a working sample of what was working for me…
