Thanks for your bug. I'm not sure that's a totem bug. I've tried from Ubuntu 5.10 with totem-xine it doesn't work neither, nor does mozilla-mplayer on dapper. There is an issue which is that totem doesn't list the "video/x-ms-wvx" type, but without that the website seems to be made for windows player.
Discussion with chpe (upstream for epiphany) on IRC: <seb128> I got the mimetype with ethereal before when running mplayer on http://mediaserver.kataweb.it/tgrep/tg12.wmv <chpe> hmm not sure, but that JS seems windows-centric, it tries to instaniate the flash plugin with <object classid... not sure that works on linux at all ... <chpe> I don't think this works on linux, it looks for "Media Player"... ... <chpe> if you change the plugin <chpe> *((char **)value) = "Totem Mozilla Plugin"; <chpe> to "Windows Media Player (Totem; compatible)" or sth like that ... <chpe> but then the JS expects the windows media player JS objects, which totem doesn't implement... will probably warn on JS console and/or not work :) <seb128> hum, k, thank you for the comments on that Do you have it working on linux with some other browser or player? ** Changed in: totem totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin (Ubuntu) Binarypackagename: totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin => None Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Confirmed => Needs Info -- totem firefox plugin doesn't plug in https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/38169 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
