Public bug reported: Testing in Karmic Alpha 3
On a fresh install , If the user tires to visit a site which uses .asf , for streaming videos , the totem-mozilla plugin [windows media plugin] doesnt work. [this .asf is used by several sites which require user accounts to view streaming video channels] The plugin doesnt work because the required codecs dont exist on a default install, and the user is not warned that the codecs need to be installed. *Since there is no prompt the user has no idea of what is wrong/missing* . *There needs to be a prompt , when the plugin doesnt work , that a codec needs to be installed* . [AFAIK , The totem-mozilla plugin doesnt work until codecs , which dont exist in the default install, are installed] Installing the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" packages , should cover all the required codecs , and other scenarios as well. The sites I know need an user account, but to test on a fresh install use this > http://2onlinetv.com/tv/broadcast.php?id=1042 < this is an open site. ** Affects: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- No prompt to install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
