Public bug reported: Binary package hint: totem
On Jaunty Beta, Ubuntu will not automatically find the codes for MMS / ASX content: errors will occur and content will not be played. Workaround: manual install of package "Gstreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, ..." via Add/Remove. Real solution: totem / Ubuntu should install automagically. Long description totem can not automatically play the MMS / ASX content "http://www.omroep.nl/live/thema/nos_journaal24-bb.asx";. FWIW: vlc does play this URL. Ubuntu tries to find a codec, but fails: "The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file? The search will also include software which is not officially supported." After clicking on Search, I get the message: "No packages with the requested plugins found The requested plugins are: Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source" I have enabled all software sources: main, universe, restricted, multiverse. ubu...@ubuntu:~$ totem http://www.omroep.nl/live/thema/nos_journaal24-bb.asx ** Message: Error: A Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed. gstplaybasebin.c(1673): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:play: No URI handler for mms ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source|urisource-mms (Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source) ** Message: No installation candidate for missing plugins found. ** Message: Error: A Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed. gstplaybasebin.c(1673): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:play: No URI handler for mms ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source|urisource-mms (ignoring) ** Message: All missing plugins are blacklisted, doing nothing ubu...@ubuntu:~$ ubu...@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy totem totem: Installed: 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ubu...@ubuntu:~$ ubu...@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)" ubu...@ubuntu:~$ ** Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Jaunty Beta] playing MMS / .ASX with totem needs manual install of codec package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350772 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
