Bug Description
Binary package hint: totem-mozilla
Bonjour,
I use Edgy.
With Dapper and Firefox 1.5, video-streaming with Mplayer was OK.
Now, with Edgy I MUST use Totem for streaming, because totem-mozilla plugin is tied to ubuntu-desktop. And, Totem does not work for streaming. I use now FF 2.0. I know, ubuntu-desktop is "only" a meta-package, but in the medium term it is better to keep it running, if only for update and upgrades.
I think the best would be to , somewhat, "untie" the totem-mozilla plugin from ubuntu-desktop, and leave the user the choice of his streaming software.
Please understand this is NOT a codecs-related problem, I just wish to be able to get rid of an unwanted plugin in my preferred distro.

Thank you for your bug. Could you point an example of page where the video is not played correctly? You can remove ubuntu-desktop if you don't agree with the package installed by it and that's being worked (there is a specification registred about using Recommends to not have to remove ubuntu-desktop), no need to keep an another bug about that point
