Public bug reported: Cannot watch streaming wmv on Ubuntu 16.04 64bit for example this link:
digichannel.go2school.com.tw/lt/main.asp?page=dailyTV Neither Totem nor VLC will do the job. There are still many sites using streaming mms wmv ! If we cannot watch on-line wmv video, what a pitty! I have already restricted-extras , I also confirmed totem's request to install needed plug-ins. Besides, I couldn't find totem-mozilla for Firefox any-more. I cannot watch the video on Firefox, there are no plugins for FF on 16.04 eg totem-mozilla . If you visit the same site with Ubuntu 14.04.4, you can watch the video embeded on web-browser. The only way to watch the mms wmv video on 16.04 is to copy the link and open it in smplayer, it can play, but the video can't be scaled up or maximized which means there are bugs . ** Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577167 Title: Cannot watch streaming wmv on Ubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/1577167/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
