OK I have extracted the URL to the stream in question (so other folks won't have to go and install flash and battle the web site to test this). The URL is mmsh://live.mediaserver.kataweb.it/retea?MSWMExt=.asf . On Feisty the video (images and sound) work on xine-ui with the ffmpeg codecs installed. There is no longer a need for the w32codecs to be installed in order to see this. With gstreamer-totem the play area remains black even after buffering finishes and there is no sound (although there does appear to be network activity). The following is produced on the console: $ totem 'mmsh://live.mediaserver.kataweb.it/retea?MSWMExt=.asf' (totem:20239): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add `mmsh://live.mediaserver.kataweb.it/retea?MSWMExt=.asf' to the list of recently used resources, but not MIME type was defined 0:00:05.837002000 20239 0x863c400 ERROR ffmpeg :0:: warning: first frame is no keyframe Nicolò: The original problem described in this bug report (xine can't play this asf) has probably been fixed in feisty.

Describing several problems to a bug doesn't make it easy to update. Is that bug about totem-xine or totem-gstreamer? Could you update the title and description to make clear what the bug is about exactly?

[Bug 41105] Re: [dapper] totem-xine and xine can't play some .asf files correctly
With respect to 1) I am not aware that any of the major video playing libraries (gstreamer, xine, mplayer, videolan) have native free WMV9 playback because it has yet to be implemented in ffmpeg. Having said that, there is native playback of WMV9 in Linspire which I believe is licenced from MS (see http://lwn.net/Articles/111588/ ). You may also be able to buy WMV gstreamer libraries from Fluendo for (see http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2005-01.html ). If you have the windows DLLs it should be possible to get all 4 of the major video playing systems to watch WMV9 but gstreamer's Win32 library might not have been updated for the 0.10 series. -- [dapper] totem-xine and xine can't play some .asf files correctly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41105 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 41105] Re: [dapper] totem-xine and xine can't play some .asf files correctly
On closer inspection this bug appears to contain several different issues. If it is not narrowed down to just one issue I suspect it stands a good chance of being rejected... Individual issues: 1. totem-gstreamer does not play WMV9 files. 2. audio stutters in WMV9 with xine (presumably with the w32codecs?) -- [dapper] totem-xine and xine can't play some .asf files correctly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41105 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

OK, let's assume this bug is about issue 1.
