Try opening the Ubuntu Software Centre, then select "Software Sources..." from the Edit menu. Enter your password, then select universe, restricted and multiverse (main should already be selected). Click Close, and if necessary enter your password again. If prompted to reload the package information/query the archive, do so.
Then try to play the .wmv file again. ** Changed in: gnome-codec-install (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781980 Title: I can't watch .wmv videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-codec-install/+bug/781980/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
