It's totem, not mplayer (i thought "Movie Player" was mplayer) ** Package changed: mplayer (Ubuntu) => totem (Ubuntu)
** Description changed: - In Ubuntu 10.10 I used to be able to play DV mov files in mplayer, i.e. - mov files (quicktime) encoded with the DV codec. + In Ubuntu 10.10 I used to be able to play mov files in totem (which is + what mov files open in by default when you double-click them in + Nautilus). - Now in 11.10 I can't. I don't know whether this is because of the mov format or the DV codec, but it definitely looks like it is the mov format because: - - I can play them in VLC so I must have the codec - - when mplayer searches for the "suitable plugin", it says it can't find "quicktime demuxer". + Now in 11.10 I can't. When mplayer searches for the "suitable plugin", + it says it can't find "quicktime demuxer". By the way the "search for suitable plugin" is a joke, isn't it? EVERY time I try to open a file that mplayer is unable to open and it searches for suitable plugin, it NEVER finds it. There has never been a single time it found and installed the suitable plugin.
