video/x-msvideo not supported

Thanks for your bug. Do you have any example of page with a such video? What version of Ubuntu do you use? Do you have gstreamer(0.10)-ffmpeg installed?

Example page is http://www.chipx86.com/blog/?p=155 with the mpeg4 item linked there (http://david.navi.cx/tmp/tagging-ui-mpeg4.avi). I'm using a horrifically mixed up system, but the package in question is from dapper (version: 1.3.91-0ubuntu1). I didn't have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed, but I do now, and it doesn't appear to have changed anything.

It works for me with newest totem and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed so it's only a missing mimetype in the plugin or something...

Just downloaded the source to the totem package, and the file src/totem-mozilla-plugin.cpp has a mime_types array defined at line 622. I think it just needs to add a line to that. Notably, video/x-msvideo is already listed as the backup description for the application/x-mplayer2 type, but this doesn't actually help things....

I've forwarded the issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332550

Upstream comment:

"The mozilla plugin aims to only support embedded media, not stand-alone ones
(see bug 314370).
If you can give me an example of an embedded media that uses video/x-msvideo,
I'll make sure to add it, otherwise, well, not."

The bug pointed is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314370

Do you have any example to reply to that comment?

Several months have gone by since this bug without getting further info from the submitter. It should be closed.

Closing, please reopen, if you can point to examples. Thanks.

I reffer you back to my bug report that has been attach to this one. Where I give two links one is an mpeg video of Mark's talk at debconf6 and the other is an ogg. The mpeg file works where as ogg doesn't yet ogg is the media with full support. I will retrack down the links and post here.

pasted the two toghether by accident. This bug was in .8 and .10 of gstreamer in totem in mozilla.

should be fixed with totem 1.5.91 to edgy
