Thank you for your help Marcin. I copied your reply to the bottom. Please do not top post on this list. 1. Yes, mplayer can play some, but not all, .wmv files on my system as long as I don't need to hear any sound. B. That does not solve my problem with totem/gstreamer refusing to play said files. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ **** _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
