** Description changed: Matroska open standard free Container format. I don't see why restricted packages need to be installed to be able to play files of that format (specifically gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg). I have several Matroska files with Theora video and Vorbis audio which can't been played on a newly installed Ubuntu system (8.04.1). + + Update: I just re-installed in a VM, applied all the updates and now I + can play the video. Although totem will still ask to install a + restricted codec if I try to stream one of those files (using + Movie-->Open Location). + + Here's the error: + + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ totem http://lulz.nikosapi.org/LAS/Jupiterbroadcasting-TheLinuxActionShowS09e03824p.mkv + ** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-matroska + ** Message: Error: A Matroska demuxer plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed. + gstdecodebin.c(792): close_pad_link (): /play/decodebin0: + No decoder to handle media type 'video/x-matroska' + + ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Matroska demuxer + |decoder-video/x-matroska (Matroska demuxer)
