Well, I got as far as installing a dev version of w32codecs from here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/428775/comments/12. And then I could install the non-free codecs from the medibuntu repos. However, still no go. I get some sort of playback now, but it is all broken up. Actually I get slightly different, but broken, behavior out of each of my three media players. Although the link above sounds like it helps some people.
Sebastien, there is a company behind Ubuntu, and it seems like the support side of it is falling down as a result of a problematic release. It seems like QA procedures need to be beefed up for the pre-release cycle. I appreciate the effort of volunteers, and if the pre-release could be done better, there would not be as much pressure on you guys now. I am in awe of some of the open source software that is out there. Moovidia is an incredible UI, for instance. If there were more consistency in the Linux + Ubuntu ecosystem it would be even more effective. Jono Bacon, are you there?
