when I look under preferences -> preferred applications I see that the web browser is set to custom and the command: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox-3.0 "%s".
Setting it to "Ubuntu Sensible Browser" doesn't work either. Changing the setting to Epiphany doesn't work. Finally chaning it to firefox doesn't work either. In all cases, I get the error dialog as follows, and this is with the Youtube and Thumbnail plugins enabled in totem: ========== error dialog =========== Totem cannot play this type of media (YouTube) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it. Please install the necessary plugins and restart Totem to be able to play this media. http://www.gnome.org/projects/totem/#codecs ========== end error dialog =========== BTW, the link that goes to #codecs above contains no reasonble information on how to fix this, which is contrary to the error dialog. ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress -- totem not playing YouTube Videos https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214416 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
