OK I have extracted the URL to the stream in question (so other folks won't have to go and install flash and battle the web site to test this). The URL is mmsh://live.mediaserver.kataweb.it/retea?MSWMExt=.asf .
On Feisty the video (images and sound) work on xine-ui with the ffmpeg codecs installed. There is no longer a need for the w32codecs to be installed in order to see this. With gstreamer-totem the play area remains black even after buffering finishes and there is no sound (although there does appear to be network activity). The following is produced on the console: $ totem 'mmsh://live.mediaserver.kataweb.it/retea?MSWMExt=.asf' (totem:20239): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add `mmsh://live.mediaserver.kataweb.it/retea?MSWMExt=.asf' to the list of recently used resources, but not MIME type was defined 0:00:05.837002000 20239 0x863c400 ERROR ffmpeg :0:: warning: first frame is no keyframe Nicolò: The original problem described in this bug report (xine can't play this asf) has probably been fixed in feisty. If you want gstreamer-totem to be fixed I strongly recommend creating a new bug for that problem. -- [dapper] totem-xine and xine can't play some .asf files correctly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41105 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
