Vaibhav, Did you playing the file as a non-root user? Some players have issues with playing WMV2 players. Try sudo apt-get install -y gstreamer-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer-plugins-bad-multiverse Also add the medibuntu repository on your Linux, it should work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu I don't know if it is only VLC that has issues with root account, or are there other players who too do not play certain files.
