Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

I was trying to watch video from http://www.abc.net.au/vod in WMV format. However, I always get "Click here to download the appropriate plugin" message.

Clicking through reveals that the plugin mimetype is "video/x-ms-asf".

Looking at about:plugins shows that Totem Mozilla Plugin can handle "video/x-ms-asf-plugin", but not "video/x-ms-asf".

Looking in the totem source at totem-mozilla-plugin.cpp:648 shows that the authors of totem have listed video/x-ms-asf as an alias for video/x-ms-asf-plugin. Unfortunately for some reason this is not getting through to firefox.

Thanks for your bug. This upload fixes the issue:

 totem (1.5.91-1ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
 .
   * Sync with Debian
   * New upstream version:
     * Numerous Browser Plugin enhancements:
       - Playlist support
       - Split the plugin in 4 different plugins, to allow
         name-based detection to work, and different Javascript interfaces
         to be used (Real Player/Helix, Windows Media Player and Quicktime
         compatible, and basic Totem) (Ubuntu: #38169, #42716, #49376, #51167)
       - Handle repeat and autostart parameters
       - Make sure the plugin is available for all Mozilla-based browsers
       - Make scrolling on the volume widget work as it should
     * New icon

     * Fix the window title not changing when playing files with broken names

     - totem-mozilla Replaces, Provides, Conflicts with
       totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin, totem-xine-firefox-plugin
     - use Suggests instead of Recommends for gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly,
       gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg since those packages come from universe

     - launchpad-integration
