So far, ExMplayer PPA only contains packages for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 10.04. But it works good in my Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy 64 bit.

To get started installing ExMplayer in Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run command below to add the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:exmplayer-dev/exmplayer

Then go to Software & Updates (or Software Sources) -> Other Software tab. Find & edit the line which says “http://ppa.launchpad.net/exmplayer-dev/exmplayer/ubuntu xxxx main”, change the Distribution to precise

Finally check for updates and install the player:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install exmplayer

You can download ExMplayer Debs from launchpad page if you don’t want to add the PPA.
