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.
+ There are several bugs reported for each codec , 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.
