Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When visiting StreamingFaith.com (my employer), you can launch "video players" by clicking an entry on the media guide on the right half of the page. I opened "A Just Glad Media Network" and when the stream was supposed to start, I received the attached error message.

I had opened firefox from a terminal window in case it crashed again (I've been having problems with crashes locking up the whole linux GUI) and here was the output:

** Message: Base URI is 'http://viewers.streamingfaith.com/viewer/viewerbroadcast.asp?setspeed=go&streamid=7000495&networkid=3001289&streamtype=WMP&ver=6&gid=0&rnd=510'

Installing the ubuntu package for Restricted Formats (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats) seems to have worked.

Can somebody identify what format was blocked, exactly? I will need to report to our (Streaming Faith's) engineering team why Ubuntu users will not be able to access some of our streams. It is our goal that ANYBODY should be able to connect to ALL of our streams, so we will need to know what is happening.

 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 if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
