So is this Totem or Firefox?

[rimbo (mordecai)]

I am trying to access audio files with Totem on Firefox browser. To know where I am having my trouble, go to ymradio.com. There are recorded conference calls there
that I am trying to play. Click on any of them. I can't play any of them.
Thanks.

So are these WMA files? Do you have the correct codecs installed?

Then why can I play the videos on www.publicgold.com/ez2 that use mms as
well?

Yes, but I understand it takes mms to open them. I couild be wrong on that. I can open video files that require mms.

I get the same error, I think this has to do with Totem, not Firefox, as that is the application that is launched to handle mms.

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

I guess it's only certain ones? Can you link me to any other mms streams that work for you?
I tried http://video.dot.ca.gov/ and got the same error.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

[rimbo (mordecai)]

It is working now. Not certain if an update took care of it or what.
Thanks for checking back.
